The current generation of medical students are closing a well-established gender gap, but radiology still ranks 11th on women’s preferred specialty lists, while it falls fifth on men’s, researchers have reported in Academic Radiology.

As radiologists continue to embrace a more tech-savvy generation of medical students, adapt to life alongside artificial intelligence (AI) and churn out practice-changing studies, just one thing is missing, according to researchers in the Journal of the American College of Radiology: more women.

Seeking second-opinion interpretations of breast imaging studies in patients not presently diagnosed with breast cancer can provide significant value, according to a new study published by the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Updating hospital protocols can reduce the frequency of oversedation events during invasive radiology procedures, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Swapping traditional paper checklists for digital alternatives could cut the time physicists and dosimetrists spend on quality assurance (QA) within radiation therapy, researchers have reported in Practical Radiology Oncology. But it’s still unclear whether an electronic approach will really improve patient safety or quality of care.

Physician burnout has a lot to do with democracy, Richard B. Gunderman, MD, PhD, wrote in the Journal of the American College of Radiology this month—and radiologists should be following the lead of the American College of Radiology (ACR) to combat it.

Reporting safety concerns in radiology is a practice that’s been growing in the U.S. alongside increasing awareness of incident learning systems. It’s also one that’s prompting physicians to look into where—and how often—safety hazards are appearing in daily practice.

Medical students today are largely unprepared for standard radiologic interpretation as interns, according to research published in Academic Radiology this May. That lack of knowledge could be costing U.S. healthcare.
