Interventional radiology procedures are exposing patients to less radiation than in the past, according to a new study published by the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

With no clear consensus in place regarding the best way to measure a patient’s neck-shaft angle (NSA), researchers compared the reliability and validity of four different methods and shared their findings in Clinical Radiology.

A more compact, complex alternative to the traditional two-piece apron suit protects interventional radiologists from radiation exposure better than its predecessor, researchers wrote in the European Journal of Radiology this month. But the streamlined technology comes with a high price tag. 

Radiologists struggling to hone their communication skills might be helped by simulated learning and hands-on practice, according to a report published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology this month.

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) is helping out radiology program directors and residents alike with the release of a free curriculum centered around quality patient care, safety and communication, the organization announced this week.

Gender is a poorly controlled—and often neglected—variable in radiology human subjects research, a group of Atlanta scientists report in the current edition of the Journal of the American College of Radiology. The resulting lack of sex-specific research could have a profound impact on quality of care.

Combining digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and standard 2D full-field digital mammography (FFDM) gives radiologists a powerful tool for detecting deadly breast lesions. A downside of this combination, however, is that it means exposing the patient to more radiation.

When using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for screening mammography, radiologists can reduce recall rates by comparing their results with prior mammograms, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
