Discuss What's your strategy for encounter-based imaging?
September 9, 2019 -- Encounter-based imaging is defined as medical imaging that is intentionally performed during a patient encounter without an associated imaging order, and it can come from sources as diverse as medical photos, endoscopy images, or point-of-care ultrasound. Does your facility have a strategy for handling them? Luke Bideaux of Vega Informatics explains why you should.

Discuss Vaping provokes lung disease in healthy individuals
September 6, 2019 -- Researchers from the U.S. have linked vaping to the development of severe respiratory illnesses identified on CT scans, according to a report published online September 6 in the New England Journal of Medicine. The findings indicate that marketing claims attesting to the safety of vaping with electronic cigarettes may have been misleading.

Discuss Is breast screening beneficial for sickly older women?
September 6, 2019 -- Screening mammography doesn't benefit women 75 and older who have chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, according to a new study published September 6 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The finding is sure to generate more debate over whether older women should be screened.

Discuss Are studies on AI for tuberculosis really valid?
September 6, 2019 -- Many research studies reporting on the diagnostic accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI)-based software for detecting pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) on chest x-rays include design shortcomings that call into question how well the algorithms would work in the real world, according to an analysis published online September 3 in PLoS One.

Discuss Flortaucipir-PET shows tau accumulation after one TBI
September 6, 2019 -- A single moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) can trigger signs of accumulation of neurodegenerative tau protein on dynamic flortaucipir-PET images and lead to cognitive decline, according to a study published September 4 in Science Transitional Medicine.

Discuss Radiologists can use enterprise imaging to create value
September 5, 2019 -- Radiology may have a secure role in healthcare, but the future of radiologists isn't as well-defined. Enterprise imaging can help radiologists demonstrate their value, however, according to Dr. Cheryl Petersilge, who spoke Wednesday in a webinar held by the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine.
