There is no greater force today in radiology than the patient. 

Some might argue that financial issues matter more. But they don’t.

Without the patient, there would be no financial issues. No operational concerns. No need to be efficient. Certainly no reason to be effective. 

This truth has been staring radiology in the face for a long time.

Researchers in China have found that children left without direct parental care for extended periods of time show larger gray matter volumes in the brain.

Some athletes who experience sports-related concussions have reduced blood flow in parts of their brains even after clinical recovery, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The results suggest a role for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in determining when to allow concussed athletes to return to competition.

December 1, 2015 — Philips  introduced the DoseWise Portal 2.0, a comprehensive radiation dose management software solution aimed at managing radiation exposure risk to patients and clinicians. The software solution allows healthcare providers to record, collect and analyze imaging radiation exposure so they can make data-driven decisions to manage dose, and ultimately, ensure patient and staff well-being.

December 1, 2015 — Today the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conferred its highest honor, the Gold Medal, upon Hedvig Hricak, M.D., Ph.D., Dr.h.c., Robert A. Novelline, M.D., and Steven E. Seltzer, M.D.

In a tradition that originated in 1919, Gold Medals are presented each year to individuals who have rendered exemplary service to the science of radiology and who have received unanimous approval by the RSNA Board of Directors.

 


December 1, 2015 — Athletes who engage in the extreme sport of free diving, descending hundreds of feet below the surface of the ocean while holding their breath, undergo significant cardiovascular changes, according to a new study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). These changes can pose potential dangers, particularly to inexperienced or cardiac untrained divers.
