Theoretical radiation risk in Smith-Bindman, et al, is line with prior statistical modeling. Technology and imaging protocol advances reduced medical radiation dose per capita. No studies directly link CT scans to cancer. Americans should not forgo necessary imaging care and discuss with their doctor.
The ACR Lung Cancer Screening Registry will expand and evolve into the Early Lung Cancer Detection Registry to support actionable incidental pulmonary nodules management. Half of patients with lung cancer found as an IPN are not eligible for screening. 60% of IPN patients are lost to follow-up.

The American College of Radiology庐 (ACR庐) today launched the ACR Recognized Center for Healthcare-AI (ARCH-AI), the first national artificial intelligence quality assurance program for radiology facilities. The program outlines building blocks of infrastructure, processes and governance in AI implementation in real-world practice.
The final United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations, while an improvement over previous guidance, do not go far enough to save more women鈥檚 lives. Women at average risk for breast cancer should start annual screening at age 40.
New USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations are a step in the right direction. However, the American College of Radiology and Society of Breast Imaging urge the USPSTF to go further to recommend annual mammography screening for all average-risk women ages 40 and older.
New ACR breast cancer screening guidelines urge all women, particularly Black and Ashkenazi Jewish women, to have a risk assessment by age 25 to determine if screening before age 40 is needed. The ACR urges average-risk women to start yearly screening at 40, but earlier screening for high-risk women.
The American College of Radiology庐 and the American College of Emergency Physicians released new landmark recommendations to help health systems, physicians and other clinicians improve patient outcomes by addressing actionable incidental findings (AIFs) in emergency department imaging.
The American College of Radiology is set to launch the Contrast-Enhanced Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (CMIST) with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and GE Healthcare. CMIST will determine if contrast-enhanced mammography improves breast cancer detection and reduces false-positive exams in women with dense breasts.
A new report from a joint task force of the American College of Radiology and the Society of Interventional Radiology recommends improved access to interventional radiologists in small and rural areas.
According to a new study, use of breast imaging services 鈥� including mammography screening 鈥� may remain at only 85.3% of pre-pandemic utilization.
Eight major radiology organizations are collaborating to form the Radiology Health Equity Coalition. The Coalition is developing concrete steps that individual radiologic professionals, practices and healthcare institutions can take to advance healthcare equity in radiology and beyond.
The American College of Radiology庐 (ACR庐) today released an update to its ACR Appropriateness Criteria庐 (ACR AC), which includes 211 diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology topics with more than 1,000 clinical variants covering approximately 1,900 clinical scenarios.
The American College of Radiology庐 (ACR庐) Data Science Institute庐 (DSI) and the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA), funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), have teamed up to connect use cases and datasets to speed medical imaging artificial intelligence (AI) development.
The American College of Radiology庐 (ACR庐) is certified as a great workplace for the third consecutive year by the independent analysts at Great Place to Work庐.
In a March 5, 2021 letter from the American College of Radiology庐 (ACR庐), Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) urged US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials to reject a 鈥渕idnight鈥� proposal by the immediate-past HHS Secretary to permanently exempt certain medical devices from the Food and Drug Administration鈥檚 (FDA) 510(k) premarket notification requirements.
A new article published online in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR庐) explains how patients recently vaccinated for COVID-19 can experience false-positive imaging exams and outlines steps providers can take to reduce unwarranted follow-up care for these findings.
The American College of Radiology庐 (ACR庐) Education Center is expanding its offerings to include a series of micro-courses covering a variety of specialties. Each micro-course begins with one-week online access to pre-recorded lectures and cases for a self-paced deep dive on the most challenging topics in a chosen specialty, followed by a virtual two-hour group case review and Q&A with faculty via Zoom and two additional days to review the case content.
The American College of Radiology庐 (ACR庐), Society of Breast Imaging庐 (SBI庐), patient advocates and others secured an extension of the moratorium on harmful 2009 and 2016 United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines from Dec. 31, 2021 to Dec. 31, 2022. Without this added protection gained in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Omnibus and Coronavirus Relief Bill), under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), mammography coverage for women younger than 50 may have been impacted starting Jan. 1, 2022. The newly passed bill ensures that women ages 40 and older who want annual screening mammograms will retain insurance coverage with no copay.
