How the legal system stacks the deck against mammography
Radiologists are becoming popular targets for medical malpractice suits, with failure to diagnose breast cancer on mammography a common accusation. René Jackson, R.N., co-author of The Death of Mammography, outlines how the legal system has stacked the deck against mammography, creating a perfect storm of wily plaintiffs' attorneys, juries with unrealistic expectations, and mammography providers caught in the middle.

Examples of DAWM on FLAIR MRI slices. Transversal slices of 1.5T FLAIR MRI scans. For visualization only, brains were skull-stripped and DAWM is shown with dotted lines (occipital DAWM is red, parietal DAWM is orange). Top row images (25% of lobar WM) show larger, more confluent configurations of DAWM, extending beyond the slices shown here.

"Dirty" brain white matter shows no link to dementia in older adults
Transaxial Zr-89 NMK89 PET/CT images 1, 24, 72, and 168 hours after injection showing increasing uptake in pancreatic tail adenocarcinoma. Maximum standard uptake value (SUV) in the pancreatic mass is 14 at 168 hours post-injection (crosshairs). PET SUV scale used for windowing was 0 to 10.
