The FDA has approved a lab test for evaluating cognitively impaired adults who may be in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Injuries of the plantar plate—the cluster of ligaments underneath the four smaller “knuckles” of the toes—are better assessed with MRI than with ultrasound scans. 

The investigators encourage radiologists to consider the numbers and take steps to “reinforce their gatekeeper function” to help cut ultrasound overutilization.

Staff who participated in a hybrid remote schedule reported better work/life balance and increased productivity, according to a new survey.

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.
