Clinical history doesn’t seem to have an impact on the maximum Prostate Imaging Recording and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2 score, but the PI-RADS v2 assessment can be viewed as an independent marker of prostate cancer risk, according to a study published in Radiology this April.

Picking a med school with a strong radiology curriculum is beneficial for all prospective students—regardless of whether or not their aspirations lie in the specialty, the U.S. News & World Report wrote this week.

Researchers at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City have received a $740,000 grant to study how the brain responds to ingredients found in marijuana.

Radiologists or technologists who manually select protocols for commonly ordered exams rarely add value, making protocol selection a prime target for workflow automation, according to recent research.
