Out-of-pocket expenditures are thought to be a significant barrier to receiving cancer preventive services, especially for individuals of lower socioeconomic status. A new study looks at how the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which eliminated such out-of-pocket expenditures, has affected the use of mammography and colonoscopy. Published early online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study found that use of mammography, but not colonoscopy, increased after the ACA.

New research reports that the number of articles within radiology journals designated as dealing with patient-centered care has increased substantially in recent years. However, a very limited number of radiology journals have published multiple original research articles on the topic. The study, supported by research grants from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute, is published online in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR).
People with Parkinson’s disease and cognitive impairment have disruptions in their brain networks that can be seen on a type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), according to a study appearing online in the journal Radiology.

Onxeo S.A. and the Institut Curie launched a series of studies on World Cancer Day (Feb. 4) aimed at investigating the benefits of combining radiotherapy, DNA repair inhibitors and immunotherapy. This highly innovative combination would make it possible to reverse the disease in patients suffering from drug-resistant cancers.
In humans, the part of the brain that's responsible for face recognition continues to grow into adulthood, according to a new study published in Science. The results are surprising, since brain development is largely thought to involve synaptic pruning, rather than growth. The ability to recognize faces, which is critical for everyday social interactions, improves from childhood to adulthood.
At the 2016 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, GE Healthcare unveiled Freelium, a magnet technology designed to use 1 percent of liquid helium compared to conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnets. Instead of the average 2,000 liters of precious liquid helium, Freelium is designed to use only about 20 liters.
A study published in the February issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine demonstrates the potential of extending peptide receptor radionuclide therapy targeting the somatostatin receptor to other types of malignancies beyond neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The theranostic pairing of Netspot (Ga-68 DOTATATE, which is U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA]-approved) and Lutathera (Lu-177-DOTATATE, currently under FDA review) has already shown that it can significantly improve progression-free survival in patients with somatostatin receptor-positive NETs.
At the Society of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) 20th Annual Scientific Sessions, GE Healthcare showcased cmr42 cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) post-processing software integrated onto its GE Advantage Workstation (AW) and AW Server platforms.
