Plenty of incidental extracardiac findings at screening CT, few interventions
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSG09-09 | Room S102D
Incidental extracardiac findings pose a quandary for reporting radiologists and cardiologists -- it's uncertain whether mentioning them in radiology reports translates into effective management of clinically significant diseases. In this retrospective study, incidental findings were examined in 151 adults undergoing screening coronary CT angiography over a six-year period.

3D reconstruction helps visualize important EVAR complications
Wednesday, December 2 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSK23-03 | Room E353B
The use of maximum intensity projection and volume-rendering 3D reconstruction techniques with contrast-enhanced CT angiography images can detect stent fractures and suture breaks in endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR) patients, according to research from Stanford University.

CT lung CAD helps readers differently
Readers of varying skill levels perform significantly better when they use computer-aided detection (CAD) to find lung nodules on CT scans, according to a new study. But while CAD tends to equalize performance among readers of varying skills, readers perform differently based on experience levels, presentation order of candidate nodules, and total time spent reading a case.

Fluoride ion PET/CT beats FDG for metastatic spinal bone lesions
Sunday, November 29 | 11:45 a.m.-11:55 a.m. | SSA18-07 | Room S505AB
Researchers from Stanford University will present a study that concludes that F-18 fluoride ion PET/CT may be helpful in predicting which metastatic lesions will be painful in the thoracolumbar spine. By doing so, the authors say it will allow for more effective treatment planning and could become an alternative to bone scanning with radiopharmaceuticals based on technetium-99m, which is in short supply.

OsiriX plug-in adds structure to image annotation
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSG10-07 | Room S402AB
In this Tuesday morning scientific session presentation, researchers from Stanford University in Stanford, CA, will discuss a plug-in for the open-source OsiriX image viewer that allows radiologists to create standardized annotations on radiology images.

Calibration tool allows standard PC monitors to be used for trials, review
Thursday, December 3 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSQ10-02 | Room S402AB
Addressing calibration of off-the-shelf displays, researchers from Stanford University will discuss the development of a calibration tool that enables radiologists to verify their PC's display quality, allowing them to remotely participate in clinical trials over the Internet.
