Because the health of our planet has a direct impact on the health and care of our patients, radiology has a responsibility to find ways to reduce our environmental impact.

For male patients increased left-ventricular mass (LVM) was predictive of a cardiovascular event, while LVM-to-volume ratio was predictive in female patients.

Sinonasal tumors are a heterogenous group involving a variety of tissues within the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. Although such tumors are relatively rare, representing just three percent of tumors in the upper respiratory tract, they can cause morbidity and mortality for patients.

Providing a way to understand the most effective and safe means for preventing, diagnosing and treating a disease, clinical trials have long been a cornerstone of health care. In radiology, imaging trials are used similarly to evaluate and optimize the design and clinical use of medical imaging devices and methods.

The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) is an established standardized interpretation and reporting system that is specific for the imaging diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in high-risk patients.

Radiologists should understand common sources of imaging AI bias and the consequences of using biased models.

Private equity investment in radiology practices is nothing new. But the impact such investments have on the practice and on the radiologists is very much open to debate.

Often exhibiting no symptoms until an advanced stage, prostate cancer remains a difficult disease to detect. While screening can help, current practices, which test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, lack specificity and can be elevated for reasons other than cancer. MRI has the potential to close this screening gap.

For many people, the allure of addressing health issues before they are beyond medical treatment, can provide peace of mind. Marketing efforts used by whole-body imaging services tend to highlight “lifesaving diagnoses.” Unfortunately, such claims can be more hype than substance.

While elbow injuries are a common sight in the emergency room, quality images of those injuries can be difficult to achieve.

As treatment for childhood cancers continues to improve, so too has the chance for long-term survival. But as childhood cancer survivors enter adulthood, they face an increased risk for developing new conditions related to their prior cancer therapy.

When it comes to better understanding the inner workings of the brain, functional MRI (fMRI) has been nothing short of a gamechanger.

How radiologists can harness the power of conversational AI programs to assist with specific tasks.

While a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) can be detected using CT and MR angiography, one first must know—or at least suspect—it’s there. Considering that over 95% of TAA patients are asymptomatic until the aneurysm raptures, this is easier said than done.

Ability to predict invasive cancer or DCIS could help patients choose optimal treatment strategy.
