The aggressiveness with which some low-risk cancers are surveilled has more to do with the preferences of the patient than the state of the disease. Consequently, patients who want more scans and tests tend to raise their costs and risks of overtreatment without improving their outcomes.

Here are strategies that, taken together, give a radiology practice or department the ability to successfully triage, track and hire the best doctor for the job.

With radiologists increasingly compelled to compete on the basis of cost and quality metrics, the moves they make now to forge the strongest possible ties with their affiliate hospitals and healthcare systems could well determine their success or failure.

E-cigarette- or vaping-associated lung injury—“EVALI,” as the CDC is calling it—has already affected about 1,300 individuals across the U.S., killing 26.

A collection of researchers led by Penn Medicine are developing what they believe could be a game-changing new tool to detect Parkinson’s and other neurological diseases.

“I am honored and excited to be named the editor of the RSNA Case Collection, a key initiative to create a comprehensive online resource of clinical cases for the practicing radiologists,” said its new editor, Mariam Moshiri, MD.

As concerns about vaping-related lung injury continue to spread across the country, researchers are giving radiologists some tips to be ready for the next patient.
