Annual mammography screening beginning at age 30 may provide value to patients with dense breast tissue, a personal history of breast cancer or a family history of breast cancer, according to new research presented at RSNA 2018 in Chicago.
Diagnostic certainty phrases (DCPs) are common in radiology reports, helping the radiologist convey certainty in an imaging finding or its clinical significance. According to a new study published in Academic Radiology, however, radiologists use a wide variety of DCPs, and reducing this variation could improve the overall quality of radiology reports.
A web-based radiology curriculum hosted on Radiopaedia.org resulted in better test scores among medical students than traditional teaching methods, according to research published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
The Cooperative of American Physicians (CAP) has released a new data study that explores factors commonly associated with diagnostic errors in radiology and suggests ways practices can improve patient care while avoiding malpractice claims.
Strategic Radiology announced Radiology Associates of Appleton (RAA) has joined its coalition of independent radiology practices. The Appleton, Wisconsin-based practice is Strategic Radiology’s first member practice from the Badger State.
