Ridley[email protected]PACS/VNACan an iPad be used to read CCTA studies?Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) studies may be complicated to interpret, but that doesn't mean radiologists can't use an iPad to remotely assess these exams for stenosis levels or to identify coronary anomalies, according to research published in the June issue of Emergency Radiology.June 1, 2016Image ProcessingUltrasound fusion software clears up liver biopsiesSoftware that fuses ultrasound images with MRI or CT studies can accurately guide liver biopsies for lesions that are hard to see on conventional ultrasound, yielding similar accuracy as CT-guided biopsy as well as some key benefits, according to an article in the June issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.May 30, 2016UltrasoundUltrasound contrast can help treat heart attacksUltrasound contrast agents aren't just for diagnostic use anymore. They can also be used therapeutically to help restore blood flow and salvage heart tissue in patients with one of the most serious types of heart attacks: ST-elevation myocardial infarction, according to a study published this week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.May 22, 2016UltrasoundTI-RADS guidelines shine for managing thyroid nodulesOf the three guidelines available for assistance in managing thyroid nodules, the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) guidelines may offer the best diagnostic yield for thyroid cancer, according to research from the University of California, Los Angeles.May 19, 2016UltrasoundAuntMinnie.com Ultrasound InsiderMay 17, 2016UltrasoundCan automated breast ultrasound handle screening?Even if it may detect slightly fewer noncystic lesions than handheld ultrasound performed by radiologists, automated breast ultrasound can still serve as an effective supplemental breast cancer screening tool in women with dense breasts, according to a multi-institutional research team.May 11, 2016UltrasoundWhen should carotid stenosis be followed up?Lower levels of carotid artery stenosis tend to worsen much more slowly than more significant stenosis, and they can be followed up with carotid ultrasound studies less frequently, according to researchers from the Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans.May 2, 2016UltrasoundElastography aids assessment of focal prostate lesionsUltrasound elastography can be a useful problem-solving tool for assessing focal prostate lesions detected on transrectal ultrasound, potentially avoiding the need to biopsy some patients, according to research published in the May issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.April 28, 2016ISCMS, ONC to replace meaningful use for physiciansThe U.S. government has announced significant changes to the meaningful use program for Medicare physicians, including plans to tie the initiative into the new Medicare quality-based payment system and to make it more flexible and relevant for participants.April 27, 2016ISDecision support cuts CT use for pediatric appendicitisClinical decision-support software can help sharply reduce the number of CT studies performed in children to evaluate them for possible appendicitis -- without negatively affecting patient care, according to research published in the May issue of Pediatrics.April 26, 2016Previous PagePage 138 of 393Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingPET predicts faster cognitive decline in women than menWomen initially outperformed men at low brain tau levels, but the advantage diminished as tau levels increased over time.MRIUnclear explanations of contrast MRI exams heighten patient anxietyWomens ImagingMammography screening improves survival for late-stage cancersUltrasoundUltrasound MinnieCast, Episode 2: Body imaging with RUS-PATSponsor ContentHow Agentic AI Is Transforming Radiology Ops
