Eric Barnes[email protected]Advanced Visualization3D printing's legal landscape remains wild, untamedMany of the qualities that make 3D printing such an exciting field are the same ones that create a perilous legal environment for the industry, according to experts at last week's 3DHeals conference. From patent protections to product liability, 3D printing's sparse legal track record and unique manufacturing processes raise issues that lack clear answers.April 24, 2017CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderApril 23, 2017Advanced Visualization3DHeals: 3D printing start-ups demand skill, persistenceSAN FRANCISCO - Start-ups are hard enough in any field, but medical device start-ups -- including 3D printing hopefuls -- require extra helpings of dedication and persistence to succeed, according to experts speaking April 20 at the 3DHeals 2017 conference.April 20, 2017CTLung-RADS category 4X helps diagnose lung cancerThe addition of category 4X lesions in the Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) imaging scheme adds value and increases malignancy yields among experienced radiologists, according to a study in Radiology. The 4X nodules turn out to be malignant in half of cases.April 19, 2017CTSharing best practices cuts CT dose substantiallySubstantial reductions in CT radiation dose can be achieved by monitoring and comparing dose across institutions -- even in a large academic health network such as the University of California. Getting buy-in from all the players involved is key, according to a study published online April 10 in JAMA Internal Medicine.April 13, 2017Clinical NewsQuality of China's radiology research improvesImaging research in mainland China has witnessed significant advances in the past decade, as evidenced in part by articles published in Radiology and European Radiology, according to a recent paper in European Radiology.April 9, 2017CTCT scans validated for immune-related colitisCT is a reliable modality for diagnosing immune-related colitis, replacing invasive colonoscopy with high diagnostic accuracy and a safer profile, according to research published April 3 in Cancer Immunology Research.April 4, 2017CTCT radiation dose falls over time, but still varies widelyCT radiation dose dropped a little over the course of a large seven-year study of patients undergoing repeat scans. But just as noteworthy were large variations in dose for repeat procedures in the same patients over time, researchers concluded in a paper published March 28 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.April 3, 2017Clinical NewsACS: U.S. cancer death rates continue to fallOverall cancer death rates continued to decline from 2010 to 2014, the latest period examined in the American Cancer Society's (ACS) annual report on cancer, the ACS said in a statement accompanying a report in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.March 30, 2017Nuclear MedicineRole of imaging modalities is changing for PE diagnosisThe use of ventilation/perfusion SPECT scans to rule out pulmonary embolism (PE) is evolving. What used to be the definitive test for PE is shifting into a role that harmonizes with the use of pulmonary CT angiography, according to an article in the American Journal of Roentgenology.March 30, 2017Previous PagePage 3 of 258Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingBreast density, obesity tied to interval cancers in Korean womenBreast density, obesity, and hormone replacement therapy use are tied to interval breast cancer in Korean women.MRIDTI shows how Alzheimer's affects white matter microstructureMolecular ImagingFES-PET could save $142M in breast cancer costsPractice Management'Financial toxicity' screening for cancer care needs improvementSponsor ContentJourney to the Cloud: A Snapshot of Market Progress - May 22 @ 1pm EDT
