Who benefits and who pays the price when top-ranked medical schools withhold comparative student data from radiology residency program directors? Radiology researchers at Duke recently documented the commonness of the problematic practice.

As a high-schooler, he rebuilt a hospital’s discarded X-ray machine to learn the science of crystallography using the principles of Bragg diffraction.

Quantifiable features of medical images such as pixel intensity, arrangement, color and texture—in a word, radiomics—can help radiologists improve diagnostic accuracy.

The radiologist suspected of trying to murder his wife and children by deliberately driving the family car over a 250-foot cliff has an unlikely ally in his corner.

Thoracic CT is safely and wisely omitted from diagnostic protocols for ICU patients who have signs of infection after abdominopelvic surgery but were already imaged with abdominal CT.

Most radiologists log many hours every workday gazing into computer monitors emitting blue light, but their eyes are at close to zero risk of damage from retinal phototoxicity.

A structured program to track incidental findings on body CT has significantly boosted rates of clinician follow-up as well as timely patient adherence to radiologist recommendations for next exams.

In the years since the turn of the century, interventional radiology has made quantifiable strides toward familiarizing the general public with the specialty and, along the way, helping IR better compete for business with surgery.
