Surgery in breast cancer patients may trigger a negative response in the body that allows dormant cancer cells to thrive. However, according to a new study published in Science Translational Medicine, new research suggests taking a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) around the time of surgery could help stop such growth in its tracks.

Though it’s been linked to reduced mortality in injured adults, emergent whole-body CT (WBCT) in lieu of selective imaging doesn’t seem to improve survival rates in children, researchers reported in JAMA Pediatrics this month.

Radiology TV, a new subscription-based video service that launched this week, was designed specifically with hospital and imaging center waiting rooms in mind.

Applying a triple freeze approach to pulmonary cryoablation could safely treat malignant lung tumors with low recurrence and complication rates, New York physician Gray R. Lyons, MD, PhD, and colleagues have reported in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.

For patients under the age of 50, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in addition to digital mammography is associated with a decrease in recall rates, according to a new study published by the American Journal of Roentgenology. DBT was also associated with increased cancer detection rates in women from that same age group with dense breast tissue.

Sarcopenia, or low muscle mass, occurs in more than one-third of newly diagnosed nonmetastatic breast cancer patients and is associated with higher overall mortality, according to a new study in JAMA Oncology.

Utah is among the five lowest states in the U.S. for mammography screening rates, Brigham Young University’s newspaper, The Daily Universe, reported this week.

The most common patient complaints related to medical imaging deal with quality of care, patient safety and patient communication, according to a study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. Most patients were satisfied with how their complaints were resolved.
