And image data will be crucial.June 15, 2014UltrasoundSRU guidelines would catch nearly all incidental thyroid cancersVery few incidentally detected thyroid cancers would be missed if recommendations from the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) for thyroid nodules were followed. What's more, the nodules not worked up are unlikely to become a problem, according to research published in the June issue of Radiology.June 4, 2014Advanced VisualizationPatients can be identified based on 3D reconstructions3D surface reconstructions can produce beautiful renderings of a patient's face. So beautiful that individuals could potentially, although not easily, be identified just from their reconstructed CT scan, according to a study published in the June issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.June 2, 2014PACS/VNAiPad-based image viewer offers remote radiology consultsWhile the implementation of PACS in radiology brought a host of clinical benefits, it came with a downside: less interaction between radiologists and clinicians. An iPad application developed by a Johns Hopkins team offers the promise of recapturing the clinical and educational value of frequent face-to-face consultations.May 29, 2014PACS/VNAAuntMinnie.com PACS InsiderMay 26, 2014PACS/VNAPersonal touch wins over patients, referring physiciansWhen given the chance, patients really appreciate the opportunity to meet with radiologists to discuss findings in their radiology report, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital concluded after launching a pilot service to provide patients with consultations on their imaging results.May 26, 2014ISAuntMinnie.com Healthcare IT InsiderMay 21, 2014Previous PagePage 168 of 389Next PageTop StoriesMRIMRI may help guide brachial plexus surgeryMRI-based volumetric analysis of paraspinal muscles can distinguish the severity of traumatic brachial plexus injury.AIShould hospitals pursue local domain LLM adaptation for radiology reports?Womens ImagingMRI model predicts breast tumor shrinkage patternsMRICheck for middle neck involvement for nasopharyngeal cancer prognosisMolecular ImagingPET links brain receptor to emotional numbing in PTSD
