A simple seven-point checklist, completed at minimum one day before a scheduled interventional radiology (IR) procedure, could improve workflow and on-time starts in the IR department while maximizing patient satisfaction, an Arkansas-based nurse practitioner reported in the Journal of Radiology Nursing this summer.

Community-based academic radiologists—hybrid practitioners who focus on both academia and community health—could be key in improving access to specialized care, two University of Texas researchers report in the current edition of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Women who opt for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) over mammography alone are likely to see lower recall rates, improved quality measures and shorter times to biopsy, researchers reported in Academic Radiology this month.

Some women who undergo mammography fail to keep up to date with other recommended preventive health services, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. Can imaging providers do something to help those patients?

Patients with limited English proficiency are 4 percent less likely to receive a prompt MRI, according to research published this week in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. But when accounting for factors like hospital environment, age group and priority, both English and non-English speakers appear to be receiving the same quality of care.

Less than half of imaging studies performed at academic radiology departments involve trainees, according to research published this month in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology. Residents and fellows seem to dedicate most of their time to CT and MRI.

Radiologists with high rates of clinical productivity are likely also better teachers for residents, according to data published this month in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

As the older members of Generation Z, now in their late teens and 20s, are starting to filter into universities, grad schools and medical programs across the country, the demographic is bringing an entirely new set of assets and challenges with it, according to an editorial published in the Journal of the American College Radiology this week.
