Gender is a poorly controlled—and often neglected—variable in radiology human subjects research, a group of Atlanta scientists report in the current edition of the Journal of the American College of Radiology. The resulting lack of sex-specific research could have a profound impact on quality of care.

Combining digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and standard 2D full-field digital mammography (FFDM) gives radiologists a powerful tool for detecting deadly breast lesions. A downside of this combination, however, is that it means exposing the patient to more radiation.

When using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for screening mammography, radiologists can reduce recall rates by comparing their results with prior mammograms, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology found that breast imaging specialists provide significant value to patients when conducting second-opinion review of imaging studies, even before the patient is diagnosed with breast cancer.

For years now, clinicians at a tertiary cancer center in the Northeast U.S. have cared for patients with assistance from teams of radiologists with various specialties. Are these radiologists having a positive impact on patient care? Is it easy for the clinicians to utilize these services?

Scientists in Germany and Russia have achieved macroscale imaging with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), opening the field to opportunities for imaging whole tumors and areas the size of several square centimeters, the Optical Society announced this week.

Management recommendations for high-risk lesions detected by a core needle biopsy of the breast are inconsistent, according to a new study published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology. Could the development of consensus recommendations improve patient care?

Emphasize program integrity in audits of state claims for federal match funds and medical loss ratios (MLRs). CMS will audit some states based on clinical services spending and quality improvements.
