The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and Desert Radiology, a nearby diagnostic imaging facility, have signed an agreement to provide imaging analysis services to study participants in university research.

On the American College of Radiology’s Voice of Radiology blog, Melissa Chen, MD, announced plans to build on last year’s survey of patient attitudes toward imaging. ACR will begin to develop a new survey to help define exactly what patients value when interacting with medical imaging professionals.

When using the American College of Radiology’s Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) to classify a breast lesion, radiologists are expected to only use the category 5 assessment when the likelihood of malignancy, or positive predictive value (PPV), is at least 95 percent. Is that a feasible expectation?
