The complexity of radiology exams should be considered a driving force over numbers of exams when estimating radiology workloads, according to research presented November 29 at RSNA 2023 in Chicago. In a study at a tertiary imaging center in Sweden, investigators found that the data in CT and MRI studies for radiologists to interpret increased up to six times between 2009 and 2022, while the numbers of exams “only doubled,” said Tomas Bjerner, MD, PhD, of Linkoping University.

Organizing pneumonia can hide underlying lung cancers in up to 10% of cases, and repeat imaging in the form of PET/CT -- and additional biopsy -- should be considered in patients with high clinical suspicion of malignancy, researchers have reported. Suspicion of malignancy may be prompted by avid uptake of the radiopharmaceutical FDG on PET/CT imaging, according to study results delivered on November 27 at the RSNA meeting.
