BBRBZ, not because these have yet to be published means they don't merit an audience or platform.

fyi, the two studies will be presented this week Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting. perhaps the authors prefer to first unveil their work within their Society then later to the greater public.

With the decline in science reporting (not that it was ever great) and the I-did-my-own-research crowd being more influential than ever, I wish professional organizations would keep this stuff to themselves before peer review and publishing. Even that is no guarantee of quality, but the vast majority of lay people don't understand the limitations of preprints or preliminary reports like this. There is such a thing as too much information.
