Discuss fMRI finds reason for impulsive binge drinking
April 1, 2020 -- Functional MR images (fMRI) have uncovered decreased connectivity from excessive alcohol intake in part of the brain's basal ganglia that could explain an impulsive person's inclination to continue to binge drink, according to a study published on March 26 in PLOS One.

Discuss DBT has lower recall rate in large U.S. study
March 30, 2020 -- Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) had significantly lower recall rates than digital mammography in a study published on March 30 in JAMA Network Open. The modality also had higher rates of breast cancer detection, suggesting the reduction in recalls wasn't because of missed cancer cases.

Discuss Quality improvement effort slashes CT radiation dose
March 30, 2020 -- A simple and cost-effective intervention led to reductions in CT radiation dose as high as 58% -- without a notable drop in image quality -- for a cohort of nearly 1 million individuals from 100 facilities across the globe in a new study. The findings were published online March 30 in JAMA Internal Medicine.
