Study: Synthetic 2D compares well with mammography
Synthetic 2D images derived from digital breast tomosynthesis are comparable with full-field digital mammography (FFDM), according to Spanish researchers. Furthermore, synthetic images could replace FFDM in studies that use both modalities and reduce radiation dose by 45%, they said.

How clean is your mobile phone?
Almost half of the radiographers at two Irish hospitals don't clean their phones, a new study has found. That's a problem because phones can harbor pathogens associated with nosocomial infections. The solution is multimodal awareness programs, the authors say.

Italians find DBT 'modestly' boosts radiation dose
New research from Italy shows digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) "modestly" increases radiation dose for patients compared with full-field digital mammography (FFDM). However, don't let that be a deterrent in using DBT, the researchers said.

Radiographers face up to uncertain future
Will the radiographer profession die out by 2025? That's certainly one possibility, according to new analysis from Sweden. But facilitating career development opportunities for radiographers could help to turn the tide, the authors predict.

Nordic study finds cancer mortality rates have sunk
Mortality rates for prostate and breast cancers in the Nordic region have declined by between 22% in Finland for prostate cancer and 32% for breast cancer in Norway since the 1990s. The drop is not driven by changes in risk factors but rather by improvements in cancer detection and management, researchers have found.

Swiss find inequalities persist in breast screening

EJR: More experience doesn't always mean less dose
Radiology experience is not always an indication of how much radiation dose patients receive, according to a recent study in the European Journal of Radiology (EJR). For fluoroscopic-guided hip injections, Canadians found trainees tend not to expose patients to increased radiation as compared with their experienced colleagues.
