Erik L. Ridley[email protected]CTCT CAC scoring tops age for predicting heart disease riskIs age just a number? Maybe, at least for predicting atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events in older adults. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring with CT is better than a patient's age for predicting risk -- particularly for coronary heart disease, according to research published online on July 26.July 26, 2017UltrasoundPoint-of-care ultrasound shows its meritWhile conventional diagnostic ultrasound understandably offers higher sensitivity and specificity, point-of-care ultrasound can yield a valuable level of accuracy for low-resource settings, according to research published in the July issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.July 26, 2017CTCT lung cancer screening in China | WhatsApp for pediatric ortho trauma | Self-driving doctors?July 24, 2017UltrasoundAuntMinnie.com Ultrasound InsiderJuly 23, 2017CTInsurance coverage for CTC boosts screeningPatients who have insurance coverage for CT colonography (CTC), also known as virtual colonoscopy, are much more likely to receive any form of colorectal cancer screening -- even a different screening test such as colonoscopy, according to research published online July 11 in Radiology.July 10, 2017Ultrasound3D ultrasound quantifies subclinical atherosclerosisWhile detecting subclinical atherosclerosis is useful, quantifying the plaque burden is even more valuable. A 3D vascular ultrasound method can reliably perform this task and help to estimate cardiovascular risk, according to research published in the July 18 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.July 10, 2017UltrasoundElastography, color Doppler US avoid breast biopsiesAdding elastography and color Doppler to B-mode ultrasound can significantly decrease the number of false positives when screening women with dense breasts, avoiding as many as two-thirds of unnecessary biopsies, according to research published online June 21 in Radiology.July 6, 2017BreastAI algorithm uses color to better detect breast cancerMaking use of a false-color enhancement technique that converts black-and-white shadows on mammograms into color, a deep-learning algorithm can achieve accuracy similar to an expert radiologist's for detecting breast cancer, according to research published online June 27 in the Journal of Digital Imaging.July 5, 2017Advanced VisualizationVirtual, augmented reality may remake medical imagingVirtual and augmented reality technologies can help radiologists perceive 3D image data more intuitively and show promise for significantly enhancing both diagnostic and interventional radiology, according to a June 29 webinar sponsored by the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine.June 29, 2017UltrasoundCan mild carotid atherosclerosis hurt mental cognition?Can subclinical carotid atherosclerosis as identified on ultrasound negatively affect cognitive performance? Yes -- at least in individuals who carry a genotype known to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to research published in the July issue of Stroke.June 27, 2017Previous PagePage 117 of 389Next PageTop StoriesNuclear MedicineLLMs rapidly evolving in nuclear medicineLarge language models (LLMs) are widely used to handle the large volume of text data generated in nuclear medicine.MRIDWI with fat correction identifies liver scarring in MASLD patientsUltrasoundGhost scans problematic in POCUS trauma examsMolecular ImagingPSMA-PET may require selective use to be cost-effectiveSponsor ContentJoin Us!
