April 2, 2010 – The FDA, Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) are hosting a joint two–topic workshop, April 13–14, at the Natcher Conference Center of the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.

April 1, 2010 - Two newly released radiolucent mammography markers are designed to help technologists give radiologists a way to easily identify the area of interest, resulting in a faster and more accurate diagnosis.

April 1, 2010 – A new partnership will deliver multimodality cardiovascular image analysis as a part of a forthcoming Web-based service to simplify workflow and save time in cardiology practices.

March 31, 2010 - The number of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans performed increases each year, as does the number of people with implanted cardiac devices.


In the ongoing battle for breast conservation, the arguments in favor of brachytherapy, a form of radiotherapy where a radiation source is placed inside or next to the area requiring treatment, are compelling.

Exposing patients to radiation for diagnostic imaging or radiation therapy is standard medical practice.
However, recent medical events, in which excessive radiation doses were delivered during CT examinations and radiation therapy treatments, have cast a shadow of doubt over the safety of radiation in medicine.
Overexposure
Best Practices in Radiology Workflow

The biggest challenge in applying best practices in radiology workflow is seeing the big picture. The entire imaging cycle includes identifying the patient data, conducting the imaging exam according to the proper protocols, and then streamlining and processing the data in a timely manner.

Once you’ve had a PACS in place, be it a few months or a few years, you pretty much know virtually everything about it.
You know how it works, how to use it to get the most efficiency, have defined your hanging protocols, created shortcuts, developed workarounds to system bugs and know the system like the back of your hand.

March 31, 2010 - When given the option, younger women are likely to attend breast screenings, according to the findings of a study of 50,000 women published today in the Journal of Medical Screening.

March 31, 2010 - The Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance (MITA), an association representing the manufacturers, innovators and developers of medical imaging and radiation therapy systems, said it supports the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) ongoing interest to reduce exposure to unnecessary medical radiation and minimize medical errors.
