Two interventions to increase lung cancer screening rates from the clinical and community perspectives.
The need for a growing role for interventional radiologists.
Getting Your Team Ready for the Future of Radiology in a Post-Pandemic World
Pediatric patient presents with double vision. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Reviewing recent changes to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system for hepatocellular carcinoma and the potential impact for interventional radiologists, these authors discuss key updates including the subdivision of patients with intermediate stage disease and emerging literature on systemic agents for advanced disease.
Artificial intelligence topped the list of five major themes at RSNA 2020, highlighting all the developments from vendors this year.
Advancements in reducing field strength are bringing MRI closer to populations unserved by the technology.
Providers from Radiology Partners share how the practice has confronted COVID-19 and the lessons learned for thriving in this environment.
Patient with uncontrolled diabetes presents with nausea and vomiting, sepsis. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Advancements in reducing field strength are bringing MRI closer to populations unserved by the technology.
Automation of probe reprocessing can have multiple benefits for patients, clinicians and facilities, including improvements in efficiency, accuracy, compliance, standardization and safety. When considering process options for high level disinfection of ultrasound probes, automated systems can be an efficient and cost-effective way to prevent patients from the risk of infection. It’s time to work smarter, safer, happier, more efficiently, and accurately… not harder.
Known as the "Swiss Army knife" of healthcare, point-of-care ultrasound—or POCUS—has come a long way.
Given the ongoing challenges with receiving appropriate reimbursement in radiology, these authors discuss key principles in the coding and billing process, common challenges and three priorities for bolstering reimbursement revenue in the profession.
Ambient speech capabilities in emerging voice recognition products and software updates may convert the clinical context of conversational speech into structured data for radiology reports.
The imaging industry has a role to play in bringing about change in screening.
Review the case study and test your knowledge to make the correct diagnosis.
In preliminary research, the targeted alpharadiotherapy agent 225Ac-FL-020 has demonstrated superior antitumor activity in xenograft models and a favorable safety profile.
In addition to detecting more than double the number of distant lymph nodes and distant lesions in comparison to conventional imaging with computed tomography (CT), PSMA PET/CT reportedly changed management for 32 percent of patients.
Emphasizing the gravity of the ongoing workforce shortage in radiology, these authors recommend a change agenda focusing on expanded numbers of residency positions, reassessment of educational pathways, maintaining a strong presence in hospital settings and practice level initiatives to reduce administrative burden and achieve appropriate reimbursement beyond RVU measurements.

Automated solutions can improve productivity while minimizing time and cost.
In recent years, several groups have demonstrated the promise of FDG-PET imaging in the management of patients with suspected and/or documented infection. This technique appears to be particularly useful in the evaluation of osteomyelitis, infected prostheses, fever of unknown origin, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Considering the extraordinary sensitivity of FDG-PET in detecting disease activity and nonactivity in malignant and benign disorders, this powerful method may prove valuable also in a variety of infectious processes. We speculate that it will be widely employed in the near future for detecting, characterizing, and monitoring patients with suspected or proven infection.
Case History: 51-year-old male, Blaschkoid eccrine spiradenoma originally manifested by cutaneous nodules, lesions experienced rapid growth two years ago.
Most infected individuals remain asymptomatic carriers, but hepatosplenic form of schistosomiasis can be associated with serious complications
Multislice CT systems are capable of dramatically improving image quality and patient throughput, and they are proving popular with referring doctors. But these systems also impose new workload and space demands on radiology departments. To ensure a successful installation, it is essential to consider the logistical implications and prepare with care.
Tumor ablation is defined as the direct application of chemical or thermal therapies to achieve substantial tumor destruction. Modalities such as ethanol ablation, radiofrequency ablation, laser ablation, and cryoablation have been used widely, primarily for the management of hepatic neoplasms.
