Request a sales quoteIn this issue of Radiologic Clinics, guest editors Drs. Douglas S. Katz and John J. Hines bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Current Evidence for Selected Topics in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology. Current evidence in radiology asks the question: what is the most appropriate imaging test on the basis of the best available evidence, the physician's experience, and the patient's expectations? In this issue, top experts review current controversies in radiology and the evidence used to support or contradict the clinical question asked.
- Contains 14 relevant, practice-oriented topics including how do we assess controversies using evidence-based radiology?; artificial intelligence in radiology; stroke: controversies in imaging, intervention, and management; manufactured “controversies” have obscured the importance of breast cancer screening; nuclear medicine controversies; and more.
- Provides in-depth clinical reviews on current evidence for selected topics in diagnostic and interventional radiology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
- Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

- More than a Half Century of Misinformation About Breast Cancer Screening
- Key points
- Introduction
- Screening guidelines over time
- Experts were excluded
- “Experts” with no expertise
- Fundamental fact: the randomized controlled trials proved that screening saves lives for women aged 40 to 74 years
- Noncompliance and contamination
- Observational studies confirm the benefit in general populations
- “Frosting on the cake”
- Death rates fall in the United States soon after the start of screening
- Why do women with breast cancer do better than men?
- “Overdiagnosis” has been falsely blamed on screening
- False claims have been raised about the “harms” of screening in support of reduced screening “recalls” for additional evaluation
- There is no scientific support for using the age of 50 years as a threshold for screening
- It is falsely claimed that screening does not reduce “all-cause mortality”
- It is falsely claimed that screening is ineffective because it does not reduce the rate of advanced cancers
- It is claimed that we should only screen women who are at elevated risk of developing breast cancer
- Screening every 2 years means that women will die whose lives could be saved by annual screening
