Radiologist Recommendations for Chest CT Scanning Offer Important Findings
A significant proportion of patients who receive radiologist recommendations for undergoing chest computed tomography scanning to evaluate abnormal findings on outpatient chest X-rays have clinically relevant findings, including cancer, according to a new research. The investigators have reported that the findings demonstrate that radiologist recommendations for additional imaging after chest X-rays represent valuable contributions to patient care.

Limiting Neuroimaging Scans for Headache Recommended
Recent guidelines seeking to reduce the use of neuroimaging scanning for patients with headaches, to reduce the amount of radiation a patient receives from the scans, run the risk of missing or postponing the diagnosis of brain tumors, according to new data. More...11 Jan 2015
Hypofractionated Whole-Breast Irradiation Benefits Early-Stage Breast Cancer Patients
The use of hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation for patients with early-stage breast cancer increased 17.4% from 2004 to 2011, and patients are more likely to receive HF-WBI compared to traditionally fractionated whole-breast irradiation when they are treated at an academic center or live ≥ 50 miles away from a cancer center, according to new findings.
