Breast cancer survivors are not receiving the recommended number of mammograms following surgery, according to a new study published by the Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends breast cancer survivors undergo annual mammograms to keep a close eye on potential disease recurrence.

Younger patients are routinely sedated during radiologic studies, requiring some kind of restraint to avoid unclear imaging from anxious fiddling or unconscious movement, but when is sedation actually appropriate? How can clinicians avoid it?

When treating men with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer, providers often turn to an ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate, though that method has been associated with missing clinically significant cancers and detecting clinically insignificant cancers.

Children see a higher rate of nodule malignancy in the thyroid than adults, clinicians confirmed in a recent Radiology study. Also, despite a handful of similarities in signs and symptoms, the younger demographic is faced with some unique biomarkers.

Gadolinium accumulates within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients exposed to gadobutrol, according to a new study published in Radiology. The accumulation, the authors noted, was observed in patients with normal renal function and intact blood-brain barriers (BBBs).
