Over the last several years, most media coverage of breast cancer screening recommendations has focused on conflict and controversy, according to a new study published in Women’s Health Issues.

The company will also award this year's recipients of the FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc./RSNA Research Seed Grants. Throughout the course of the annual meeting, Fujifilm's comprehensive portfolio and latest innovations in digital radiography, women's health, ultrasound and healthcare IT will be on display and available for demonstration at booth #2545 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Wayne, NJ—For the first time, radiologists will be able to view motion from standard X-ray images without fluoroscopy. Konica Minolta Healthcare is bringing digital radiography (DR) to life with the ability to visualize movement using conventional X-ray. Known as Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR)* or X-ray in Motion™, this revolutionary new modality captures movement in a single exam and allows the clinician to observe the dynamic interaction of anatomical structures, such as soft tissue and bone, with physiological changes over time. The value of DDR in thoracic imaging is promising, allowing clinicians to observe chest wall, heart and lung motion during respiration. DDR goes beyond pulmonary function; Konica Minolta is exploring its use in orthopedic applications of the spine and extremities. This new capability will be showcased at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), being held November 25-29 in Chicago, in Konica Minolta’s booth 1919.

The National Health Service (NHS) England announced a “major overhaul” to national cancer screening programs in an effort to curb cancer-related mortality.

I love being a neuroradiologist and helping patients. I’ve always loved it. But there are downsides to the work as well. The stress levels might be high, you can feel isolated or restricted and your work list may control everything you do—it’s no wonder burnout is so high in our profession these days.

As far back as my undergraduate years, I knew I wanted to work in a field that combined medicine with computer science. I actually had a professor who told me that was a silly combination. He said there’d never be a real-world need for it. How wrong he was—and how fortunate I am to now work for a radiology practice whose hallmark is its enthusiastic embrace of IT and imaging informatics.

Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, have conducted a pilot study using photoacoustic tomography and ultrasound (US) to assess ovarian tumors, sharing their findings in Radiology.

The rise of high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) has led to patients worrying more about the high prices associated with imaging services than ever before. According to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, this often exposes those patients to inaccurate information.

Germany-based Ziehm Imaging, which has U.S. operations in Orlando, was awarded a $135 million contract to provide “radiology systems, accessories and training” to U.S. armed forces, according to a statement issued by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

The advent of peer learning programs has “changed the game” with regards to radiologists providing feedback to their peers and colleagues. But what about feedback for radiology trainees?
