Claims of increased risk of thyroid cancer from breast imaging have been shared tens of thousands of times in recent months, despite being debunked in medical literature. 

In a new report, Utah-based Reaction Data said that "it's obvious that RSNA needs to up its game to make the conference more worthwhile to attend."

In a new Journal of the American College of Radiology review, imaging experts outlined important infection control measures that every institution must consider.
