Rebekah Moan[email protected]CTEgypt releases DRLs but dose concerns remainEgypt has unveiled the first national diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for CT, but senior radiologists still have concerns about radiation dose. Areas for improvement include the selection of exposure parameters for different examinations, taking into account the image quality, with particular attention on facilities using consistently higher doses compared with DRLs.June 29, 2017BreastVisual aid pinpoints women at high risk of breast cancerA new chart developed in Iran can help physicians identify women who are at high risk for breast cancer. Doing so could make a breast cancer screening program more efficient and productive, suggested the researchers who developed the chart.June 1, 2017Digital X-RayStudy: Reject pelvic x-rays if axial rotation exceeds 10°Researchers from Lebanon have found they can estimate the pelvic axial rotation of children and adults during x-ray acquisition, and any x-rays in which the axial rotation exceeds 10° should be discarded.May 4, 2017Digital X-RaySIR: UFE use still lags hysterectomy for fibroidsUterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is vastly underutilized when it comes to treating uterine fibroids, according to a large nationwide study presented on March 6 at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) 2017 annual meeting in Washington, DC.March 6, 20172017Clinical trials to shed new light on preoperative breast MRIIs breast MRI really diagnosing more false positives than mammography? What changes for preoperative breast MRI can be expected after the latest clinical trials? These are among the important unanswered questions in breast MRI that will be discussed at today's master class at ECR 2017.March 4, 2017MRIUse MRI for athletes' acute groin pain, study findsAs the Rio Olympics loom large, imaging of athletes is on the mind. A new study finds an MRI-based assessment approach for acute groin injuries shows good intra- and interrater reproducibility and may help improve clinician's confidence in scoring of these injuries.July 14, 2016BreastLarge Egyptian study shows breast cancer, density linkA study encompassing more than 100,000 women in Egypt has confirmed that an increase in mammographic breast density -- based on the American College of Radiology classifications -- is associated with a heightened risk of breast cancer.April 5, 2016BreastUse social media to give the people what they wantVIENNA - More than just a platform to share pictures of children and pets, social media can provide rich data that allow radiologists to tailor information in a targeted way, according to a presentation at ECR 2016. For instance, social media played a huge part in crafting an online hub to discuss mammography.March 4, 2016Digital X-RayBone suppression detects more lung nodules on chest x-raysVIENNA - Bone suppression can improve radiologists' detection of lung nodules on chest radiographs, according to a presentation this week at ECR 2016. The mean sensitivity improved significantly with the addition of the technique, the researchers found.March 3, 20162016The 'ins and outs' of imaging dense breastsIn women with dense breasts, mammography's sensitivity can be as low as 60%. In other words, up to 60% of breast cancers can be misdiagnosed in these women. Clearly, something must be done, and something is: Today at ECR 2016, presenters are showcasing tools for quantification and will explain how high breast density may lead to changes in imaging strategies.March 3, 2016Previous PagePage 3 of 10Next PageTop StoriesPractice Management'Financial toxicity' screening for cancer care needs improvementScreening for "financial toxicity" in cancer care could use improvement in the U.S., according to a new review.CTOpportunistic chest CT helps predict low bone mineral densityMolecular ImagingNew guidance issued on PET/CT imaging in breast cancerDigital X-RayIMV: Hospital-based diagnostic x-ray volumes continue to declineSponsor ContentWe care about what you think.
