Active surveillance is a conservative management approach that is increasingly being used for patients with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

'History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme' is a quote often credited to Mark Twain. But regardless of the saying's origin, the notion touches on the point that while we may view today's events, discoveries and circumstances as being unprecedented, upon closer examination, one will likely find that everything has some historic precedent.
Radiology is no exception.

"By highlighting the similarities, differences and challenges faced in diagnosing and treating patients in such different health care and country settings, we hoped to foster cross-border discussions and, ultimately, stimulate interest and research in global health radiology programs."

From making appointments to understanding the bill, for patients, families and providers, the entire health care system has become frustrating.

From single section CT scanners to multidetector systems capable of covering the entire heart in a single rotation, CT has experienced a dramatic evolution over the past several decades. As a result, it is now a mainstay of diagnosis in many pathologies–including complex and small anatomical structures.

According to the CDC, cigarette smoking is responsible for as much as 90% of lung cancer deaths in the U.S. As such, it should come as no surprise that the best way to prevent lung cancer is to not smoke or, if you do, to quit. But what about the use of e-cigarettes, or vaping — particularly by former smokers?

According to a recent European Radiology study, the use of short-protocol brain MRI on emergency patients with inconclusive neurological symptoms is a cost-effective method for detecting minor strokes.

The use of e-cigarettes, also known as vaping, has risen over the past decade. In 2019, an illness linked to vaping was discovered following an outbreak of unexplained respiratory illnesses in Wisconsin. According to a Chest Journal study, vaping induced lung injury, which came to be known as e-cigarette or vaping-induced lung injury (EVALI), hospitalized 2,807 and killed 68 people between March 2019 and February 2020.

Since 2004, the CT Clinical Innovation Center (CT CIC) has been integrating clinical practice and innovation with research on a day-to-day basis.

In the summer of 2020, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and multiple incidents of police brutality against African Americans converged to shift the national narrative on racial justice. Included in this conversation was a new look at how health care disparities based on race and ethnicity affect population health.

It’s been said that cybersecurity represents the greatest threat to every sector in the world — and radiology is no exception. Yet most of us probably don’t give it a second thought, seeing it as a problem for multinational companies or an issue for the IT department to take care of. But this is a dangerous misconception.

Health disparities based on race and ethnicity are both widespread and pervasive — and radiology is no exception.

Imaging’s role in cancer diagnosis and treatment continues to grow in importance. At the forefront of this development is interventional oncology (IO), a rapidly expanding subspecialty of interventional radiology.

For enthusiasts, the first snowfall means the start of the winter sports season. But for radiologists, the winter months mean an inevitable increase in brain, spine, and head and neck injuries.

Although soft tissue masses (STMs) account for approximately 1% of malignant lesions, small lesions are often assumed to be benign. Current guidelines include resection biopsy for lesions with a diameter of less than 3 cm., which creates the risk of failing to achieve tumor-free margins.
