Coronary stents: Safe with MRI, evaluable with CTA
NEW ORLEANS - The increasing demand for imaging of patients with coronary stents was reflected in two studies presented Tuesday at the American Heart Association scientific sessions. One study reconfirmed the safety of MR imaging just after stent implantation, while the other suggested that CT angiography may be useful in ruling out in-stent restenosis.

Is MRI the new gold standard for assessing myocardial viability?
NEW ORLEANS - Magnetic resonance imaging is definitely lagging behind other modalities in evaluating the coronaries, and in assessing valvular disease. But when it comes to other evaluations of the heart, the "gold standard" label now belongs to MRI, according to a presentation on Saturday at the American Heart Association meeting.

Radiologists (mostly) cheer as insurers set imaging rules
The concept isn't new, but "privileging" of imaging providers is gaining steam among payors. The trend may force changes in radiology practices, but it's more likely to curb imaging self-referral, making health plans the unexpected protectors and champions of imaging specialists.

Researchers tout dual-energy CR/DR for evaluating coronary calcification
Could radiography actually have a role in the imaging of coronary artery disease, especially in an era when coronary calcium scoring with CT is all the rage? A new article suggests there may indeed be potential for radiography -- in its latest technologically evolved incarnation -- to serve as the elusive low-cost option for heart disease screening.

ABR's recertification program spurs confusion, complaints
This year's ramp-up of the American Board of Radiology's new Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program has come as a rude surprise to many diagnostic radiologists who -- having spent thousands of dollars to take and pass the boards in 2002 or 2003 -- are now being asked by the ABR for an immediate payment toward their 10-year recertification.

Self-referral issue isolates radiology in multispecialty forum
SAN FRANCISCO - When members of the Medical Group Management Association's (MGMA) Radiology Assembly met on Monday, they discussed some difficult issues, including the future of their subgroup, self-referred imaging, and whether radiology practices still fit within larger healthcare associations like MGMA.

Question 4 from the Japan Diagnostic Radiology Board Examination 2024, representing a clinical scenario of a man in his 30s presented with transient dysphasia. The question asks to identify the most probable diagnosis from the following options: (a) glioblastoma, (b) hemangioblastoma, (c) metastatic brain tumor, (d) oligodendroglioma, and (e) primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The correct answer is (d) oligodendroglioma. The figure also includes a summary of responses from four large language models, along with their legitimacy scores rated by diagnostic radiologists.
