The trial included more than 100 patients and showed that ultrasound-guided placement reduced operating time and preserved vein size.January 3, 2021BreastDBT doesn't find more cancers in breast cancer survivorsThe benefits of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) may be limited for finding additional cancers in breast cancer survivors, according to a December 22 study in Radiology. While DBT led to fewer recalls, the modality didn't boost the cancer detection rate for this high-risk population.December 23, 2020UltrasoundUltrasound outperforms x-ray for neonatal pneumothoraxLung ultrasound scans outperformed chest x-rays for diagnosing neonatal pneumothorax in a new review that included more than 500 newborns. Ultrasound achieved better sensitivity and specificity and took less time to perform, according to the December 16 study in Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology.December 22, 2020Previous PagePage 2 of 22Next PageTop StoriesISMRM 2024ISMRM: PET/MRI shows promise identifying musculoskeletal ‘pain generators’PET/MRI could be a viable tool for pinpointing locations of pain in those with chronic low back or hip pain after total hip replacements.ISMRM 2024ISMRM: What's next for MRI applications for MSK trauma?Radiology EducationARRS: Consistent disparities found in radiology residency matchWomens ImagingARRS: DBT leads to less recalls among African American womenSponsor ContentJourney to the Cloud: A Snapshot of Market Progress - May 22 @ 1pm EDT
