Two students from Misericordia University in northeast Pennsylvania have been selected to represent the state at the 2018 American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Student Leadership Development Program in Las Vegas.

High-dose radiotherapy doesn’t improve survival in men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, but it can improve biochemical control and rates of tumor metastasis, researchers reported of the first large-scale study to examine whether hiked radiation doses are linked to improved survival.

Six years ago, the non-invasive cardiovascular lab (NICL) at 540-bed St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, faced something of an uncertain future. The rules for maintaining accreditation, set by intersocietal accreditation commissions, require that all vascular exams get interpreted within 48 hours of image acquisition. For cardiac exams, the read must wait no longer than 24 hours.

Chinese researchers announced this week that, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), they have been able to identify abnormal connections between brain networks in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 

The variables involved in minimizing radiation exposure during CT imaging are many—but simply placing a patient off-center can result in a surface dose increase of 12 to 49 percent and negatively impact image quality.

Patient and public awareness of interventional radiology (IR) remains low, according to a study published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.

A nontraditional magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanner is offering patients a wearable option that would allow them to stretch, drink tea or even play table tennis during a brain scan, according to research from the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom.

There are large differences in the mammographic performance of radiologists from countries with breast cancer screening programs and countries without such programs, according to a new study published in Academic Radiology.
