Reports to FDA allege damage to breast implants during screening
When a woman with breast implants arrives for mammography, there's a chance the imaging specialists will have to contend with a rupture, leakage, or at the very least, more demanding positioning requirements. But how often do adverse events involving breast implants occur during mammography?

Focus of TLE seizure clarified with MR plus diffusion tensor imaging
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can bolster brain MR when zeroing in on seizure sites in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), according to a presentation Tuesday at the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) meeting in Seattle. This information could then aid in pre-surgical planning, said the authors from Drexel University in Philadelphia and the University of Illinois in Peoria.

Breast screening could pull double duty for tracking heart disease
Mammography may be beneficial for more than just breast cancer screening -- annual exams could also be used to check for breast vascular calcification, which can be a precursor to coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure.

Ultrasound spots DVT after knee, hip arthroplasty
Surveying post-arthroscopic patients with ultrasound can effectively detect asymptomatic deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and potentially cut down on warfarin treatment, according to researchers from Singapore and Canada.

Ultrasound brings eye imaging into sharp focus
It is generally radiology that sets the precedent as to when and where a particular modality is used, and other specialists follow suit. But in the case of ocular imaging, radiologists might consider taking a glance at what ophthalmologists are doing, according to a group from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Diligent coding means money in the bank for breast imaging
Twenty-first-century mammographers are truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. Reimbursement rates, as set by Medicare, are so low that mammographers are virtually invited to cut costs by lowering quality. On the other hand, there is tremendous pressure on breast imaging facilities to provide optimal service to all women, with the most serious pressure coming from mammographers themselves.

'Safety net' system stops patients from falling into follow-up black hole
MIAMI BEACH, FL - A radiology report might suggest further work-up of a patient, and the referring physician is notified of such, but that information never quite makes it to the patient -- leaving behind people who receive less than optimal care. Radiologists in the Ann Arbor VA Health System in Michigan have managed to successfully bridge that gap by creating a follow-up tracking mechanism.
