In this installment, we take a look at A k-Space Odyssey, an iOS app designed to facilitate understanding of k-space, the mathematical abstraction that connects MRI scan parameters with the clinical image.March 20, 2017CTWhich orthopedic imaging options are the safest?Pediatric orthopedic imaging patients who need surgery often receive more x-rays and CT scans than nonsurgical patients, and orthopedic surgeons should seek options to reduce radiation exposure, according to research being presented this week at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2017 annual meeting.March 14, 2017UltrasoundElastography can differentiate cervical lymph nodesAn ultrasound shear-wave elastography technique can effectively differentiate between metastatic and nonmetastatic cervical lymph nodes, according to preliminary research published in the March issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.March 13, 2017AIDeep learning can provide first read of chest x-raysA computer-aided detection system developed using deep-learning technology can perform an initial review of chest x-rays, helping radiologists to prioritize interpretation of cases that are more likely to be abnormal, according to a presentation last week at ECR 2017.March 9, 2017MRIBrain maps aid understanding of human cognitionVIENNA - Detailed brain maps compiled from voxel-based morphometry of brain MR images can yield new insights into human cognition, including evidence that the hippocampus has an important role in executive function, according to a Saturday morning presentation at ECR 2017.March 3, 2017PACS/VNADon't forget color when calibrating imaging displaysVIENNA - While there still isn't a formal standard for ensuring consistent visualization of the type of color used in many imaging modalities, there are steps that can be taken now to calibrate and perform quality assurance for these displays, according to a presentation at ECR 2017.March 2, 2017CTSoftware quantifies emphysema on MDCT imagesVIENNA - An automated software algorithm can be used to quantify emphysema on MDCT studies, offering radiologists a useful tool for diagnosis and follow-up of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to research presented on Thursday at ECR 2017.March 1, 20172017How can radiology departments ensure patient safety?VIENNA - Radiology departments have a moral, professional, and legal responsibility to protect the safety of patients receiving imaging studies with ionizing radiation. It takes teamwork, however, to meet that critical mandate, according to a talk at ECR 2017.February 28, 2017UltrasoundCan ultrasound diagnose nonperforated appendicitis?Ultrasound may be highly accurate for diagnosing pediatric appendicitis, but how does it perform for differentiating between perforated and nonperforated cases? Not very well, and that can pose a challenge when considering treatment options, according to research published in the March issue of Radiology.February 23, 2017UltrasoundAuntMinnie.com Ultrasound InsiderFebruary 21, 2017Previous PagePage 121 of 389Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalDoes advanced imaging in stroke patients improve outcomes?Conventional or advanced imaging selection of EVT patients did not result in significant differences in 90-day clinical outcomes.CTSafety concerns lead to suspension of CT service at Belgian hospitalCTCentrally located lung cancer may lead to poor patient outcomesCTVideo: Perry Pickhardt on CTC, the 'best kept secret in medicine'Molecular ImagingExperts issue appropriate use criteria for molecular breast imaging
