The Value of Imaging Part II Value beyond Image Interpretation

Although image interpretation is an essential part of radiologists’ value, there are other ways in which we contribute to patient care. Part II of the value of imaging series reviews current initia...

The Faulty Analysis of Breast Cancer Screening Data

In this limited space I cannot possibly address all the errors in the Bleyer analysis so I will concentrate on the fundamental issue. In his paper with Dr. Welch, in the prestigious New England Jo...

The “Unconference” in Radiological Society Meetings

Professional society conferences provide an important mechanism for radiologists to experience the latest advances in the field by attending an array of scientific and educational talks over the co...

Screening Mammography Would Have Been Initiated Regardless of the CNBSS

I respectfully disagree with Drs. Jha and Ware’s concluding statement “The CNBSS is compelling enough to never start mammograms for breast cancer but not compelling enough to stop screening.” In ad...
