New research suggests more women with late-stage breast cancer may develop brain metastases than previously believed. 

Jessica Porembka, MD, of the breast imaging division at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said an ultrasound-first strategy for these lesions in DBT is cost-effective and improves efficiency. 

Radiology researchers have developed and validated an automated program for tracking incidental imaging findings. The system facilitates communications between radiologists, patients and primary care providers whenever such findings turn up.  

New research findings could help explain the “obesity paradox,” wherein being overweight is linked to both improved outcomes in certain diseases and increased mortality rates in others.

These findings are not exclusive to severe cases of the virus and have been observed in individuals who reported having more moderate infections.

Cannabis use is on the rise throughout the United States, but it is not as harmless as some people may believe. An in-depth analysis out of Stanford explored the many cardiovascular risks associated with regular cannabis use. 

The advanced algorithm only needs an image or photograph of a 12-lead ECG to make its assessment. 

Cardiologists believe this is the first time this exact complication has been reported. Even patients who present with no known risk factors, they said, should receive regular follow-up care to ensure such incidents do not go untreated.
