3D Mammography By Adam Braithwaite, M.D. I am a son, husband and father of three daughters. As you can imagine, women’s health is a priority for me and I have dedicated my life to the pursuit of detecting breast cancer early so that it can be treated and cured. For years, screening mammography has been our primary tool in this fight. In fact, since regular screening mammography began in the United States in the 1980s, breast cancer deaths have plummeted 35 percent.
Background: Standard emergency department management of acute pancreatitis has focused on aggressive hydration, analgesia and investigation for an underlying reversible cause (eg gallstones). Recent evidence has challenged the routine use of aggressive hydration as unnecessary. There are also potential harms to large volume fluid resuscitation including progression of pancreatitis and fluid overload with or without respiratory failure.
Project philosophical doughnut was an editorial project to tidy up, standardize and, most importantly, give clinical indications and purpose to our CT protocol articles (hence the wacky name Andrew chose and stuck with). Radiography training in many institutions around the world is heavily process-driven; that is, radiographers are taught the technical requirements of a CT scan and learn the clinical side on the job.
Amidst rising cancer prevalence and soaring costs, new cancer technologies and innovations are emerging to support the early detection, treatment, and surveillance of cancer. Read this guide to understand how to evaluate these solutions for your employees and members – and to learn more about the current state of coverage, clinical and cost effectiveness, and impact on quality and outcomes.

Background: Thromboelastography (TEG) is a reliable, comprehensive non-invasive hemostatic assay that measures the ability of whole blood to form a clot. TEG analyzes the interaction between platelets and the coagulation cascade. It provides highly descriptive, real-time information on clot formation, clot strength, platelet function, and fibrinolysis, which is superior to traditional coagulation tests such as INR, aPTT, and platelet count.
Patient-centric scheduling can only be achieved through optimized radiology workflows, effective communications between staff and physicians, and, of course, through specialized schedulers. In this guide, we’ll take you through a step-by-step process to transform your radiology center into a high-performance hub of medical imaging.

Over the years, dependency on teleradiology outsourcing for obtaining quality reports has grown. This because of several reasons. On one hand, developed countries like the US face a severe shortage of radiologists. This is despite a substantial increase in the number of scans they conduct. According to reports, in USA, a radiology report requires an average of over two weeks to be signed off from the day of scan.
“Finding and winning the right talent continues to be a priority and a challenge for business leaders. It’s more important than ever to evaluate your strategic workforce needs to understand not only the skills and capabilities required today but also those that will be needed to execute future strategic initiatives. Given the shift to hybrid work, work from anywhere (WFX) and in-person, it’s important to make sure you are fostering an inclusive environment to avoid a two-tiered organ
Capitol Imaging Services has served tens of thousands of women with our women’s health examinations in screening mammography, diagnostic mammography, ultrasound, bone density studies, breast MRI and breast biopsy.

About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.

Background: Medical equipment that gives clinicians vital signs or other objective information must be reliable across populations as this data drives medical decisions. Many of these tools were not developed or validated in a racially diverse group of patients. We have already covered issues with pulse oximetry potentially missing hypoxemia in Black patients on REBEL EM ( Link is HERE ).

Written by: Louise C. Miller , R.T.(R)(M)(ARRT), CRT(M), FSBI, FNCBC, Director of Education When I started writing this blog, I created a list of challenging patients and situations that were not related specifically to positioning challenges (i.e. frozen shoulder, kyphosis, wheelchair patients, etc) since these were addressed in my previous blog article.

MRIs, also known as Magnetic Resonance Imaging, allow for very detailed scans with the help of a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy. They help doctors see organs and structures inside the body that is different than other types of scans such as X-rays, ultrasounds, or CT scans. What is a 3T MRI? Traditional MRI machines operate at a strength of 1.5T, or Teslas.
