Following a patient-specific contrast media protocol during CT of the pancreas can enhance image quality, reduce contrast volume and reduce radiation dose, according to a new study published in Academic Radiology.

Residents across the United Kingdom are contributing to a more than $3 million effort to provide local NHS hospitals with more high-quality imaging equipment, the Northern Echo has reported.

A post-hoc analysis of the Danish Lung Cancer Screening Trial (DLCST) has estimated an overdiagnosis rate of more than 67 percent in patients who opt for low-dose CT lung screening, researchers reported in JAMA Internal Medicine this month.

Breast density reporting legislation is in place in dozens of states, but according to a new study published by Academic Radiology, confusion about breast density remains high among women receiving mammography screening.

Research from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has found light-emitting fragments known as alloyed upconverting nanoparticles, or aUCNPs, offer a unique window for radiologists to see deep into living tissue with little risk, potentially leading to high-precision radiation treatments.

Researchers have developed a new “glowing” imaging technique that can diagnose tuberculosis (TB) within an hour, according to research published in Science Translational Medicine.

Dedicated spine CT in the acute clinical setting can be useful for catching fractures that might have been missed on an initial CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, according to research published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology. But for the sake of time, money and resources, radiologists can expect visceral CTs to detect any injury needing surgical attention.

The combination of a lumpectomy and radiation is associated with a slight improvement in a patient’s chance of surviving noninvasive breast cancer, according to a new study published by JAMA Network Open.
