Briony Bishop, a consultant breast radiographer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, loves her career—but the upward climb to her dream job came hand-in-hand with her mom’s health demise.

Patient care would improve if more interventional radiologists implemented endoscopy into routine practice, according to a new analysis published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology. Should more imaging leaders be working to offer these services?

Actively resisting bias is hard work for the brain, researchers reported in the April issue of Scientific Reports, even when it comes to something as simple and ordinary as musical preferences.

A real-time look at how mice’s immune systems repair their brain lining, or meninges, after concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is providing insight into how the human brain heals itself in similar situations, the National Institutes of Health reported this week.

Automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) offers improved breast cancer screening for patients with dense breast tissue and could provide specialists with a significant improvement over handheld screening ultrasound. However, some clinicians worry it may take radiologists too long to interpret ABUS exams, making it less than ideal for population-based screening.

A noninvasive imaging biomarker known as 18F fluorocholine PET/CT has been proving its capability in detecting certain cancers for years, but fresh research out of Honolulu suggests it could be especially useful in identifying chronic liver disease.

Imaging providers should still administer gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) when necessary, according to a recent commentary published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. However, the authors added, assessing the “necessity, benefits and risks” of each examination and minimizing repeated scans on the same patient is recommended.

Over the past decade, U.S. residency applications to diagnostic radiology programs have declined. Boston researchers set out to determine what a resident looks for in a radiology program.
