From “ How to Do Great Work ” by Paul Graham: Schools also give you a misleading impression of what work is like. In school they tell you what the problems are, and they’re almost always soluble using no more than you’ve been taught so far. In real life you have to figure out what the problems are, and you often don’t know if they’re soluble at all.

Up to 44% of diagnostic errors are due to laboratory tests and radiology exams that were inappropriately ordered, according to research published January 2 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. The statistic underscores a need to improve the imaging exam ordering process, particularly for CT and MR imaging, which would not only benefit patients but also radiologists, wrote a team led by Ariadne DeSimone, MD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

A standardized detection reporting system can help radiologists accurately categorize how breast cancer is identified -- either through screening or symptomatic presentation -- when performing image-guided breast biopsies, researchers have found. Alan Zhu from the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ, and colleagues determined that such a system led to high reporting accuracy at a sustained rate that improved over time.
