Imaging exams land on list of low-value care in VA system
Two of the most frequently delivered low-value medical services within the U.S. Veterans Health Administration (VA) system are back imaging for patients with nonspecific low back pain and preoperative chest x-rays, a new study finds. In addition, imaging for low back pain was one of the costliest low-value services.

PET shows amyloid beta + tau biomarkers = Alzheimer's disease
Using PET to assess amyloid beta and tau biomarkers, researchers have found in a July 30 JAMA Neurology study that even in individuals without cognitive impairment, these biomarkers are associated with near-term progression to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and long-term cognitive decline.

How to create a positive work culture in radiology
When you go to work, how do you feel? The answer may have more to do with the culture at your organization than with your job itself. And if your organizational culture is a dour one, that can be changed, according to experts on leadership in radiology.

Realizing the radiology reading room of the future
What if you could design the radiology reading room of the future? That's the project underway at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, which is using evidence-based design principles to radically restructure how radiologists work. The goal is a workforce that's more efficient and less stressed out.

More white-matter hyperintensity equals greater parkinsonism risk
Higher white-matter hyperintensity visible on MRI scans in older adults is associated with more rapid progressive parkinsonism, according to research released on November 1. That association remained statistically significant despite partial attenuation in a model including postmortem indices of cerebrovascular disease brain pathologies.

Tips and tricks for mastering shear-wave ultrasound of the liver
Shear-wave elastography (SWE) of the liver can help avoid invasive procedures such as liver biopsies, but proper execution is paramount. How can radiologists make sure they're imaging the liver effectively using SWE?

Careful planning can optimize spectral CT in radiology
Spectral CT has much to offer radiology. Also known as dual-energy CT, the technology gives radiologists the ability to more easily differentiate healthy from diseased tissue. And through careful planning, imaging facilities optimize their use of spectral CT to the benefit of patients and referring physicians.

Will AI help radiologists survive the data deluge?
While some radiologists may still be concerned that artificial intelligence (AI) will replace them, the reality is that AI will help radiologists keep pace with imaging workflow demands -- especially as the volume of medical imaging exams grows.
