But the radiology department's primary product -- the radiology report -- is still based on archaic information that's 2D and text-based. A joint team from the U.S. and Singapore has developed a way to make radiology reports come alive -- in 3D.September 12, 2013CTNo bones about it: Subtraction CTA uncovers cerebral aneurysmsYielding high sensitivity and accuracy, an advanced visualization technique that automatically subtracts bone data from 320-detector-row CT angiography (CTA) scans could substitute for 3D digital subtraction angiography in detecting cerebral aneurysms, according to research published online in Radiology.September 11, 2013Advanced VisualizationSoftware tool offers fast analysis of metastatic lesionsA semiautomated lesion management application within PACS software can provide reliable, consistent, and speedy segmentation of metastatic lesions in serial CT examinations of cancer patients, according to research published in the September issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.September 3, 2013UltrasoundImaging may contribute to excessive thyroid treatmentIn some countries, thyroid cancer has been one of the fastest-growing diagnoses over the past 30 years. In other nations, however, malignancy rates have remained stable. What's behind the discrepancy? Researchers believe that aggressive use of imaging could be leading to overdiagnosis of thyroid disorders, according to a new analysis in BMJ.August 27, 2013UltrasoundThyroid ultrasound features can guide biopsy decisionsBasing a decision to biopsy a thyroid nodule on the presence of certain ultrasound imaging characteristics could reduce unnecessary biopsies by 90%, according to a large study published online August 26 in JAMA Internal Medicine.August 26, 2013Previous PagePage 183 of 389Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-Ray3D DEXA reveals lower bone density in diabetes patients3D DEXA revealed differences that conventional bone mineral density measurements did not detect.MRIGadolinium in ... beer?UltrasoundMWA safe, effective in treating hyperthyroidism with nodulesAIAI model shows promise for diagnosing prostate cancerCT'Habitat' AI model helps stratify lung nodule disease risk on LDCT
