The lack of a structured reporting system for imaging technologists could be threatening the readability of studies in the field, a team of U.K. researchers reported this month in Radiography. But some argue a more rigid format would distract from the cognitive processes that make radiology reports so valuable in the first place.

A team of radiologists from South Korea found real-time sonography (US) accurate in distinguishing diffuse thyroid disease (DTD) from normal thyroid parenchyma, according to a four-center study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Liver cancer death rates among adults continue to climb across the U.S., according to new research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

A new algorithm developed by researchers from the California Institute of Technology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and the University of Salerno in Fisciano, Italy, may be able to predict a person's intelligence quotient from fMRI brain scans.

The future of breast screening could lie in patients' homes rather than at hospitals, the Times of Israel reported this week, owing to a proposed handheld ultrasound designed by a former biomedical scientist at NASA.

A team from the University of Wisconsin-Madison successfully used PET imaging to visualize heart damage commonly seen in those with Parkinson’s disease. The technique will help develop therapies.

Yehudit Abrams, MD, a former NASA biomedical scientist, is planning to develop a handheld ultrasound device that will allow women to monitor their breasts in their homes, according to a July 15 report by The Times of Israel.

R. Rex Parris, the mayor of Lancaster, California, has proposed the city ban local employees from being required to wear a necktie. The decision, he said, was made after reading about recent imaging research that found neckties can lead to a reduction in cerebral blood flow.
