Though it’s common practice, imaging hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients one month after selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) rarely changes case management, a team from Minneapolis, Minnesota, reported in Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging this month. 

A team of researchers has identified genes associated with being at a greater risk of developing triple-negative breast cancer, according to a new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Could this discovery lead to improved patient care?

Early-stage breast cancer survivors treated with whole breast irradiation (WBI) are at a greater risk of developing a secondary cancer than patients treated with accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI), according to a new study published in Radiotherapy and Oncology.

A large-scale study funded by the National Institutes of Health and published this week in JAMA Internal Medicine found mailing fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kits to socioeconomically underserved patients at risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) led to a nearly 4 percent increase in CRC screening. 

Overburdened imaging departments and staff shortages are compromising the efficiency—and communicative abilities—of U.S. radiologists, one clinician wrote in the Journal of Radiology Nursing this month. But radiology nurses might be undervalued as resources in the fight to ensure quality care.

In a medical landscape where the prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains poor, postoperative CT and FDG PET-CT imaging could help detect disease recurrence, researchers reported in the European Journal of Radiology this summer.

Mammographic texture analysis can successfully differentiate between benign and malignant breast tumors, according to research out of China, circumventing some of the shortfalls of digital mammography while helping radiologists make more accurate diagnoses.

Florida’s Orange County is investing half a million dollars in a CT scanner for its local morgue, a move expected to speed up the autopsy process and facilitate criminal investigations without cutting into victims’ bodies, WFTV reported this week.
