The Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) was introduced in 2018 to provide consistency when radiologists use multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for staging bladder cancer.

Patient portals have been associated with numerous benefits, but there are challenges to consider as well, according to a new analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. What can be done to address these challenges? 

Clinical decision support (CDS) systems can play a role in reducing unnecessary imaging orders, according to a study published in PLOS ONE. However, the authors noted, the reduction may be relatively modest.

Who wouldn’t want greater consistency in radiology reports’ substance, style and actionability to referring clinicians? And yet a substantial number of radiologists have intently avoided, quietly thwarted or tacitly rejected structured reporting. They can only hold out so long. 

Using computer-aided detection (CAD) software powered by artificial intelligence leads to fewer false-positive mammograms, according to new findings published by the Journal of Digital Imaging. Significant cost savings could also be realized by making such a switch.

As if healthcare providers didn’t already have enough cybersecurity threats to worry about, researchers have now found that malware can create fake findings in imaging results and deceive radiologists.

Following optimized CT protocols during wrist examinations can lead to significant reductions in radiation dose, according to a case study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Treadmill desks have gained popularity in recent years, but how would utilizing one impact a radiologist’s ability to interpret medical imaging results?
