First published in 1993, the criteria includes 257 diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology topics with more than 1,200 clinical variants covering nearly 3,700 clinical scenarios.
The latest update includes 11 new and six revised topics. All topics include a narrative, evidence table, and literature search summary. New topics deal with subjects like breast imaging during pregnancy, managing acute pulmonary embolisms, and staging and follow-up of primary liver cancer and leukemia among others.
