In the next two years, already-inundated radiology administrators will face an onslaught of new regulatory challenges. 

When a radiologist went looking for unnecessary imaging, he realized he could earn his salary three times over just by weeding out waste.

On its fifth anniversary, the ACA receives progress reports from two accomplices.

Patients often don’t understand who a radiologist is or what they do – as Rodney Dangerfield would have said, they “don’t get no respect.” But a patient’s perceptions about the specialty as a whole can be greatly improved by a brief face-to-face meeting with a radiologist, according to findings made available by Daniel E. Marrero, MD, and colleagues at the American College of Radiology’s ACR 2015 Annual Meeting.

Radiologists can use a four-step process created by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) to turn day-to-day hard work into Practice Quality Improvement (PQI) projects, according to recent analysis in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

A medical device primarily used for hysterectomies is in the news again, this time for being investigated by the FBI—and the development may lead to more patients turning to interventional radiologists for an alternative procedure.

Retained surgical items – tools and implements left inside a patient’s body after a procedure – put patients in danger and can cost providers a fortune in legal fees and non-reimbursed healthcare costs. Positive control radiographs can help radiologists locate these items before it’s too late, according to a study by Kristin Kelly Porter, MD, and colleagues in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

The ACR has launched the Lung Cancer Screening Education Program, an online education resource that trains radiologists on how to implement a “safe and effective" lung cancer screening program.
