CT makes world of difference in battlefield imaging

Imaging in battle zones is developing fast, both in terms of quality and quantity. More military conflicts call for more onsite radiology and better quality care. CT and focused abdominal sonography in trauma allow physicians to better triage and treat these battlefield patients, according to a new article in the British Journal of Radiology.

Radiographers can play role in early breast cancer diagnosis

Many older women in the U.K. are coming into healthcare facilities with late-stage breast cancer primarily because they are unaware of the signs and symptoms of the disease. A pilot study shows that radiographers can help remedy the situation in a program that could have implications for breast care in Europe.

Researchers find novel way to image women with breast implants

Imaging women with silicone breast implants with diffusion-weighted MR imaging is a challenge, but a possible solution is to combine short-tau inversion recovery and slice-select gradient reversal to eliminate or reduce silicone signal, according to a study published online in European Radiology on 16 June.
