Competing to classify thyroid nodules on ultrasound images as either malignant or benign, three deep learning models have essentially drawn a tie with four radiologists.

Radiologists have developed an abdominal x-ray protocol that quantifies patient “thickness” to yield images of high quality while reducing radiation dose by 80%.

Video reports could play an important role in increasing radiologists’ roles in patient-centered care, experts have suggested. 

Diagnostic radiology is not immune to the likelihood. All radiologists, trainees and technologists who perform or assist in image-guided needle biopsies or intravenous contrast administration live with some level of risk. 

As COVID-19 pressed hospitals to postpone procedures, reorient priorities and learn new ways to soldier on in service of the sick, one medical specialty distinguished itself as well prepared to lead by example, several observers suggest.

RBMA’s 2022 Compensation Survey provided insights and benchmarks for executive and marketing leadership of member radiology groups. 

These findings underscore the need for better implementation of shared decision-making (SDM) models, as well as more thorough counseling documentation, as low-dose CT (LDCT) lung screen coverage is dependent on these factors, experts suggested.

Understanding these findings, experts suggested, is an important aspect of addressing the worldwide shortage of radiologists.
