Breast radiologists are known to have higher rates of burnout in comparison to many of their peers, but the beginning of the pandemic brought this group something not often encountered within the specialty—downtime.

Although the predictive power of radiomics has been touted as a tool that could improve patient outcomes, the method has a long way to go before it can be reliably introduced into real-world clinical environments.
The updated recommendations from the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association cover a variety of topics, including patient communication, follow-up imaging, nutritional supplements and more.
"This system is bringing with it a greater humanization of AI and therefore a more realistic representation of what we do as radiologists,” one member of the specialty said.
Radiology education researchers have created an image-intensive online course for third- and fourth-year medical students wishing to learn radiology remotely.
