For years now, clinicians at a tertiary cancer center in the Northeast U.S. have cared for patients with assistance from teams of radiologists with various specialties. Are these radiologists having a positive impact on patient care? Is it easy for the clinicians to utilize these services?

Scientists in Germany and Russia have achieved macroscale imaging with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), opening the field to opportunities for imaging whole tumors and areas the size of several square centimeters, the Optical Society announced this week.

Management recommendations for high-risk lesions detected by a core needle biopsy of the breast are inconsistent, according to a new study published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology. Could the development of consensus recommendations improve patient care?

Most American nurses put their patients’ health and safety above their own, potentially impacting patient care, one Pennsylvania nurse wrote in the Journal of Radiology Nursing this month.

Real-time and historical recruitment data published ahead of resident match season can help radiology program directors limit their application and recruitment costs, but the same statistics are largely ignored by medical students themselves, a report published in Academic Radiology this month suggests.

Introducing a dose-monitoring software to procedures in interventional and neuro-interventional radiology could be useful for tracking patient radiation thresholds and improving procedural performance, Brandon C. Perry, MD, and colleagues at the University of Washington have reported in Academic Radiology. 

Breast cancer patients report reduced sensitivity and pain during radiotherapy when using a barrier film over treatment areas, according to a Danish study published this month in Technical Innovations and Patient Support in Radiation Oncology.
