A Yale-led effort to implement a self-sustaining interventional radiology (IR) program in Tanzania will send dozens of physicians, nurses and technologists to the country each year to train radiology residents and lay the groundwork for a competency-based IR curriculum.

The lack of a structured reporting system for imaging technologists could be threatening the readability of studies in the field, a team of U.K. researchers reported this month in Radiography. But some argue a more rigid format would distract from the cognitive processes that make radiology reports so valuable in the first place.

The Jamaica Cancer Society (JCS) has received a donation from the Sagicor Foundation that is expected to greatly improve patient care and save the group approximately $3 million each year: a new PACS.

Death rates from liver cancer in the United States increased 43 percent from 2000 to 2016, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). What should radiologists take away from this finding?

A more direct approach to exam reminders might boost colorectal cancer screening rates across the country, according to a University of North Carolina Lineberger team who found mailing patients screening kits improved testing rates over traditional reminder methods.

Secondary interpretations of diagnostic imaging examinations have increased significantly among Medicare beneficiaries, according to a new study published by the Journal of the American College of Radiology. The authors also noted that denial rates for these secondary interpretations are “uniformly low.”

Ten percent of radiologists have been sexual harassed by a patient in the last three years, according to a new report published by Medscape. Out of 29 specialties included it the report, radiology had the smallest percentage of physicians who reported experiencing sexual harassment during that time frame.

Women who take part in assisted reproductive therapies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization are not at an increased risk of invasive breast cancer, according to a recent study published in the BMJ.

The future of breast screening could lie in patients' homes rather than at hospitals, the Times of Israel reported this week, owing to a proposed handheld ultrasound designed by a former biomedical scientist at NASA.

Opening hospital doors for nonurgent radiology procedures during the weekend reduces patients’ length of stay, improves their progression toward early discharge and keeps ER admissions manageable, a team of Harvard researchers report in the current edition of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
