Overnight attending radiologist coverage leads to reduced turnaround times, higher satisfaction among referring clinicians and increased educational value for residents, according to new research published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology.

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine and School of Dentistry have been awarded a five-year, $5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to develop liquid biopsy tools as a method for lung cancer screening.

RaySearch Laboratories, a Stockholm-based medical technology company, and Canon Medical Systems Corporation have announced a new collaboration focused on integrating two of RaySearch’s software products—including RayStation and RayCare—into Canon Medical’s imaging and advanced visualization solutions.

Targeted breast ultrasound should be the initial imaging evaluation for women between the ages of 30 and 39 presenting with focal breast symptoms, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. Mammography can provide some value in detecting cancers distant from the area of clinical concern, yet its cancer detection rate (CDR) in such a scenario is still rather low.

In an effort to curb lung cancer mortality in the U.K., a National Health Service (NHS) pilot program will employ mobile CT scanning units in grocery store parking lots. The program will target more than 7,000 current and former smokers, aged 60 to 75, to detect tumors.

The Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance (MITA) has issued a statement in support of the FDA’s recent efforts to strengthen its medical device cybersecurity program.

Patients with advanced breast cancer, along with their families and friends are planning a march on New Zealand’s Parliament to ask Pharmac, an area pharmaceutical company, to fund two drugs they say could potentially provide some relief.

When ordering physicians overmanage an incidental pancreatic cyst detected at MRI, it can lead to higher downstream costs, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. What can radiologists do to improve adherence to their recommendations?

The American College of Radiology (ACR) Commission on Patient- and Family-Centered Care (CPFCC) has announced the creation of the Population Health Management (PHM) Committee, which will “ensure that the value to high-quality radiologic and radiation oncological care is recognized as a key component in improving the overall health of populations.”

There may still be a need for programs and interventions designed to reduce or eliminate cost barriers for some women who receive breast screening mammograms, according to new research published in the Journal of Women’s Health. Almost 40 percent of uninsured women aged 50-64 years old, for instance, reported paying out-of-pocket costs for their most recent mammogram.
