Erik L. Ridley[email protected]Advanced VisualizationSoftware yields 3D visual summaries of radiology reportsMedical imaging made a major leap forward when it moved from 2D images to 3D renderings. 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, 2013CTInteractive reconstruction of raw CT data: The next frontier?The image interpretation process has come a long way since the days of static film. In the next evolutionary phase, radiologists may be given the ability to perform interactive reconstruction of raw CT projection data -- the sinogram -- according to Dr. Eliot Siegel of the University of Maryland.August 22, 2013Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderAugust 20, 2013MRIMR analysis offers speedy brain tumor therapy responseAn advanced MR analysis method can reveal new information on blood vessel type function, enabling physicians to determine within days whether brain tumor patients are responding to antiangiogenesis therapy, according to a report published online August 18 in Nature Medicine.August 20, 2013Editor's NoteKwiatkowski pleads guilty; Joint Commission eyes imaging safety; final days for MinniesAugust 14, 2013Image ProcessingPostprocessing software boosts preop TAVI assessmentAn automated postprocessing software application shows promise for improving the preoperative assessment of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a team of Paris researchers reported in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.August 13, 2013Previous PagePage 184 of 389Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingFIGO classification from MRI leads to moderate agreement among radsFIGO classification of uterine fibroids on MRI led to moderate overall interobserver agreement among radiologists.Digital X-RayAI fracture detection tools tested head-to-headCTAI improves interreader CAD-RADS agreement on CCTACTWorld Trade Center attacks boosted lung cancer incidence in responders nearly 3-foldSponsor ContentRegister Now: Breaking Barriers in Breast Imaging Webinar
