A Covington, Georgia, practice is encouraging everyone to treat their loved ones to an unusual gift this Mother’s Day—a mammogram.

In a recent interview with the American College of Radiology Bulletin, Efren J. Flores, MD, a radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, discussed the challenges and opportunities radiologists face when patients with apparent substance use disorders enter the emergency department.

Despite low prevalence in the demographic, women younger than 40 years old should still undergo triple assessment for breast cancer—especially if they present with a symptomatic lump or have extensive family history of the disease, a team of U.K. researchers reported in Clinical Radiology this month.

Breast cancers that develop between routine screening exams are likely to grow more rapidly and be associated with poorer prognosis than cancers that are present at the time of screening mammography but go undetected, researchers have reported in JAMA Oncology.

More and more people are being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD)—a condition that, without dialysis, can lead to death within weeks—and those patients need radiologists more than ever, Sandra O’Rear, BSN, RN, and colleagues wrote in the Journal of Radiology Nursing.

Adding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to digital mammography (DM) in the prevalent screening round of a breast cancer screening program leads to a reduced recall rate and improved reader confidence, according to a new study published by Clinical Radiology.

The American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging and Reporting Data System (ACR TI-RADS) outlines risk stratification and management of thyroid nodules based on ultrasound features, but biopsy recommendations remain variable amongst radiologists.

A team of researchers at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is developing a new pill that could make tumors light up when exposed to infrared light. Could this someday be used in breast cancer screening?
