ACR 2017: Radiation dose varies in head CTs of children
A large analysis of pediatric head CT scans across the U.S. showed surprisingly large variations in radiation dose that increased as children grew older, according to results presented at this week's American College of Radiology (ACR) meeting in Washington, DC.

'Deep patient' may point the way to better care
SAN JOSE, CA - With so much research focused on disease diagnosis using artificial intelligence, it's easy to overlook a largely untapped resource that could wield at least as much firepower to reinvent healthcare for the better. That resource is the deep patient, according to a May 11 talk at the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference.

Photon-counting breast CT shows promise
Tests of a prototype photon-counting detector breast CT scanner show that the system could be useful as an adjunct to low-dose breast CT by separating the energy levels of different types of materials within the breast to assess tissue composition and improve cancer diagnosis.

Super-resolution deep learning reconstruction improves CCTA
By Will Morton
The commercially available image reconstruction algorithm outperformed standard hybrid iterative reconstruction for assessing coronary stenosis.
February 10, 2026
Images from two representative cases. (A-C) Images in an 82-year-old man with a calcified plaque in the proximal segment of the left anterior descending artery. (A, B) Curved planar reconstruction images from CCTA with (A) hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) and (B) super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) show that the measured PDS was 66% for the HIR image and 42% for the SR-DLR image. (C) Quantitative analysis of the invasive coronary angiography (ICA) image (reference standard) revealed a PDS of 34% (arrow). (D-F) Images in a 37-year-old woman with a noncalcified plaque in the middle segment of the left circumflex artery. (D, E) Curved planar reconstruction images from CCTA with (D) HIR and (E) SR-DLR show that the measured PDS was 47% for the HIR image and 80% for the SR-DLR image. (F) Quantitative analysis of the ICA image revealed a PDS of 72% (arrow). Blue, red, and yellow lines in A, B, D, and E represent the proximal reference point, stenosed lesion, and distal reference point, respectively, and the insets show the corresponding cross-sectional images.
