Discuss fMRI links imaging biomarker to PTSD treatment response
April 10, 2019 -- Using functional MRI (fMRI), researchers have observed abnormal patterns of brain activity in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that can predict a poorer response to therapy, according to two studies published online April 3 in Science Translational Medicine.

Discuss 7T MRI shows path to MS progression
April 9, 2019 -- Add another clue for unraveling the mystery that is multiple sclerosis (MS). After using 7-tesla MRI to assess lesions in the brain's gray matter, researchers have found that the imaging technique could predict progression of the debilitating disease, according to a study published online April 9 in Radiology.

Discuss The value of the CIIP: Part 3 -- Radiologist support
April 9, 2019 -- The healthcare industry trend to consolidate enterprise IT support can result in unmet departmental needs and increased costs if subject matter experts aren't available to help clinicians. In the third installment of his article series, certified imaging informatics professional (CIIP) Luke Bideaux shows how a CIIP's skills in radiologist support can positively affect operational outcomes and help avoid costly system overhauls.

Discuss ACP pushes breast cancer screening start from 40 to 50
April 8, 2019 -- The American College of Physicians (ACP) has shifted its guidance on breast screening to a more conservative approach. The ACP is now recommending that women should start breast cancer screening at the age of 50, not 40, and attend every other year, according to new guidance published April 8 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Discuss Are too many patients getting MRI scans for back pain?
April 8, 2019 -- Too many patients may be getting MRI scans for lower back pain, according to a study published in the April issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology. The researchers tracked the number of MRI scans performed before conservative treatment takes place, a practice considered to be a sign of inappropriate use.
