German IT group reveals progress on structured reporting
July 4, 2022 -- Structured reporting continues to generate interest, but clinical implementation remains relatively slow across Europe. This Q&A interview with informatics expert Dr. Daniel Pinto dos Santos focuses on how German radiology is approaching this important area. Read More

Chest x-ray technique can cut radiation dose in infants
July 1, 2022 -- Chest radiography is the most frequently used imaging modality in neonatal intensive care units. Researchers have found that radiation doses to neonates undergoing chest x-rays can be significantly reduced by using a novel method. Read More

Photon-counting CT proves value in driving down imaging dose
June 30, 2022 -- Photon-counting CT is showing promise as a way of reducing radiation dose by more than a third, researchers from Tübingen in Germany have reported. It enables oncologic abdominal CT with a much reduced dose while retaining image quality similar to dual-energy CT, they say. Read More
