title: Current status and issues of concern in diagnostic radiology.
abstract: I have tried to give a little history, discuss some current topics: PACS, inappropriate image utilization, CT screening, Night Hawk, molecular imaging, sonoscope, CAD, and LBBH. I hope these issues are more familiar to you now. The articles that follow from the faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine and Saint Luke's Hospital will bring you up to date regarding the current status of CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, mammography, and interventional radiology.
