Discuss COVID-19 likely more than a respiratory illness in kids
August 3, 2020 -- A disease associated with COVID-19 that causes multiple organ failure in children presents imaging findings that are different than a typical acute infection, indicating that COVID-19 is likely far more than a respiratory illness in kids, according to an article published online July 30 in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.

Discuss DBT benefits are strongest for initial breast screening
July 31, 2020 -- The benefits of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) are strongest for women undergoing their first breast screening. DBT had better initial cancer detection and recall rates than digital mammography in a large, long-term study published on July 28 in JAMA Network Open.

Discuss Radiologists reading mammograms show wide variation
July 31, 2020 -- Radiologists interpreting mammograms demonstrated a wide range of sensitivity for detecting cancer, according to results of a study published July 28 in Radiology. The authors believe the findings justify the use of computer-aided detection (CAD) solutions for breast screening.
