Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, published by the Radiological Society of North America. This eJournal highlights the emerging applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the field of imaging across multiple disciplines.
Other ideas and concepts covered include education about AI, AI’s role to educate radiologists, referring providers, and patients, and the ethical, legal, and social issues surrounding AI.
Thieme’s MedOne Radiology is a comprehensive medical imaging database. It provides extensive case libraries and diagnostic guidance for those in training, and essential references and procedural guidelines for the qualified specialist in clinical practice. MedOne Radiology includes:
E-Books – A fully searchable database with access to 157 radiology e-books.
E-Journals – Full access to content from Seminars in Interventional Radiology and Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology.
Cases – Direct access to Thieme RadCases, a database with 3,253 must-know cases covering a broad range of radiology subspecialties.
Media – 121,500 images with legends and 395 videos.
MedOne Radiology is also available through the library’s A-Z Database list.

A small but significant number of people experience swollen lymph nodes as a side effect of receiving a COVID vaccine. This can look like a clinically significant finding on cancer imaging, including chest CTs, PET scans, mammography, and breast MRI. In response, radiologists from MSK and three other institutions recently published recommendations for cancer imaging and COVID vaccination.
As reported by Reuters and the Associated Press, the authors recommend scheduling routine cancer imaging screenings either before vaccination or six weeks after. But patients should not delay getting either the vaccine or clinically urgent imaging. Cancer patients should receive the vaccine in the arm opposite the active or suspected cancer. Medical staff should ask patients receiving imaging about their vaccine history, including the date of vaccination and the side of the body vaccinated. If enlarged lymph nodes appear on imaging, radiologists may request follow up images or, in a small number of cases, biopsy.
