Researchers published their findings on October 13 in Radiology.October 19, 2020UltrasoundBenefits of ultrasound fetal size estimates questionedThe benefits of using third-trimester ultrasound scans to predict large infant size may be limited, according to a review published online October 13 in PLOS Medicine. Ultrasound size estimates failed to reliably predict one of the most common complications of delivering large newborns.October 13, 2020MRI4D MRI could be big leap forward for fetal heart imagingClinicians could have better information about fetal heart health thanks to a new imaging method developed by researchers from London. The team described how they used 4D MRI to measure volumetric blood flow in a paper published on October 5 in Nature Communications.October 11, 2020BreastScreening saves lives of women with high-risk tumorsWomen with high-risk breast tumors had more than double the chance of distant cancer spread if their cancer was interval detected rather than found on screening mammography, according to research presented on October 3 at the 2020 European Breast Cancer Conference.October 8, 2020Breast2 breast lesion traits that signal future cancer riskNot all benign findings on screening mammography are equal. A Spanish team identified two characteristics of benign lesions that signal an increased risk of future malignancy in new research presented on October 3 at the 2020 European Breast Cancer Conference.October 7, 2020CTCT scans can predict CVD risk in breast cancer patientsClinicians used CT scans of coronary artery calcium to predict which patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer were at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to study findings presented on October 2 at the 2020 European Breast Cancer Conference.October 6, 2020CTTrump undergoes chest imaging after COVID-19 diagnosisPresident Donald Trump reportedly underwent chest imaging while undergoing treatment for COVID-19 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. The president's physician said there were some "expected findings" but nothing of "major clinical concern."October 4, 2020UltrasoundContamination a worry for US-guided IV proceduresMedical professionals reported inconsistencies in the use of supplies designed to prevent contamination during ultrasound-guided peripheral IV procedures, according to survey findings published on September 29 in the Journal of the Association for Vascular Access.October 4, 2020UltrasoundWhat is POCUS? Leading rads call for new definitionA group of radiology thought leaders is calling for a more precise definition of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). Their proposal to better distinguish POCUS from other ultrasound technologies was published on September 29 as a white paper in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.October 1, 2020BreastBreast screening helps precision medicine succeedA new review argues that screening mammography is crucial to prevent breast cancer deaths even in the age of precision medicine.
