   Editorials:Back

Richard B. Gunderman and Matthew C. Ripplinger

As we use the x-ray or the scalpel to lay bare organs such as the liver, the heart, and the brain, we glimpse something integral to our humanity, and when we do, we realize that health, disease, life, and death are matters that beckon us to more than purely scientific or clinical reflection.

The use of interventions to encourage a prompt return to screening should have a substantial effect, not only in terms of a reduction in the number of deaths due to breast cancer but also in terms of a reduction in false-positive events.

We believe the that choice between duplex US and contrast-enhanced MR angiography for initial imaging work-up in patients with peripheral arterial disease may very well depend on the local expertise of those who perform these techniques and the cost considerations that are relevant to the local setting.
