Radiation dose monitoring will again be an important area of emphasis at this year's meeting. Investigators are also continuing to seek enhancements in areas related to radiology reporting and clinical decision support.November 6, 2016UltrasoundSmoking adversely affects patellar, Achilles tendonsNeed another reason to quit or never start smoking cigarettes?
