At least in community-hospital settings, emergency physicians who choose point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) over other testing options can save all involved parties considerable sums of money—and that holds true even when care management decisions are not directly impacted.

CT protocols and radiation doses vary significantly across different countries, according to a new study published in the BMJ. The authors added, however, that developing a consistent standard “should be possible.”

Electronic modules can help radiology residents and fellows learn more about peripheral nerve imaging at any level of training, according to new research published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology.

Quizzing healthcare providers on their smartphones can lead to better patient care, according to a new case study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Researchers have successfully used two different machine learning algorithms to predict three common symptoms—sleep disturbance, anxiety and depression—experienced by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The team's findings were published in PLOS One.

A former NFL player has taken his battle with breast cancer public, encouraging other men to pay attention to their bodies.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has released seven new and 19 revised topics for its ACR Appropriateness Criteria.

When researchers compared brain MRI scans of patients who had previously received gadobutrol, a common gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA), with patients not exposed to gadobutrol, they did not observe any visual signal intensity changes. The team noted, however, that patients who received gadobutrol had shorter T1 relaxation times of the globus pallidus.

More than 200 people braved the waters of the chilly Boulder County Reservoir in an effort to raise money for the American Cancer Society for the 37th annual Polar Plunge. Participants raised a total of $30,000 during the event.
