RSNA, CHICAGO—Alzheimer’s disease has long been thought to wreak its havoc on once-clear minds by stashing amyloid plaque on the brain’s gray matter, the part most densely populated by nerve cells. New research using a specialized MRI method shows that the brain’s white matter—which conducts messages across brain regions—may play a larger role than previously thought. 

Hybrid imaging with positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) in the pituitary region of the brain is a promising tool for differentiating military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from those with mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), according to a new study presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

DALLAS, TX, November 25, 2013 – BRIT Systems introduces the Collaborative Radiology Pool (CRP), a novel concept in reading services that creates new opportunities for radiologists and radiology practices. CRP is the first joint offering between BRIT Systems and Imaging Advantage, LLC that brings together the clinical expertise of IA with the technological innovation of BRIT.  BRIT will highlight CRP at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in booth #2407, November 30 to December 4, in Chicago.

After a four-year wait, the results of the Medicare Imaging Demonstration project have arrived. You will understand why they are underwhelming if you have ever gone swimming in a pond full of algae: Murky.

Get ready to rollout LDCT lung cancer screening

When Emory University Hospital talks about fighting infectious disease, people listen. The Atlanta institution is now sharing lessons learned about radiology’s role in the process earlier this year, when Emory went four-for-four curing patients stricken with Ebola. 

The radiology department of the Central Alabama VA remains perilously understaffed, but system leaders have stepped up efforts to see that all diagnostic images get read, and without undue delay.
