Erik L. Ridley[email protected]PACS/VNAElectronic image transfer lowers cost, radiation exposureResearchers from the Pacific Northwest reduced repeat rates for CT studies of trauma patients with an electronic image transfer network using CDs and a virtual private network. The model reduced both costs and radiation dose, according to study results published in the September Journal of the American College of Radiology.September 3, 2012PACS/VNANICU staff may be exposed to radiation during pediatric x-raysAdult fingers from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) staff were visualized on nearly half of x-ray images acquired at a Canadian hospital, and, in some cases, nurses might not be aware of their inadvertent radiation exposure, researchers have found.August 29, 2012PACS/VNAPrototype shows potential for patient-centered image sharingCurrent image-sharing methods based on CDs are burdensome to both patients and providers alike and also raise privacy concerns. However, researchers from Wake Forest University have developed a patient-controlled prototype image-sharing framework that aims to tackle those problems.August 28, 2012PACS/VNAAuntMinnie.com PACS InsiderAugust 26, 2012Advanced VisualizationMRI software from MGH offers better estimate of tumor volumesSoftware developed at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) may offer a better way to estimate changes in tumor volume after treatment in soft-tissue sarcoma patients, giving physicians a better tool to track the effectiveness of therapy.August 26, 2012PACS/VNACMS releases final rule for stage 2 meaningful useThe U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released its final rule for stage 2 meaningful use, which now includes the viewing of medical images as a menu item in the U.S. government's healthcare IT stimulus program.August 22, 2012Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderAugust 21, 2012MRIAugmented reality may aid MR-guided interventionsAn augmented reality image overlay system can provide accurate and efficient MR guidance of shoulder and hip arthrography procedures, possibly combining joint injection and MRI into a single procedure, according to research published online in Radiology.August 14, 2012CTCAD cuts variability in low-dose CT lung screeningFor all of its benefits, low-dose CT lung cancer screening can suffer from considerable variability between radiologists reading the studies. But computer-aided detection (CAD) software can help close the gap, researchers reported in the August issue of Investigative Radiology.August 7, 2012Advanced VisualizationDigital watermarks guard integrity of 3D imagesAlthough undetected tampering of medical images by hackers or other parties may seem a remote prospect, research initiatives are under way to ensure it doesn't happen. A Singapore team has developed a tamper detection scheme based on digital watermarks that can determine if volumetric medical images have been altered.August 6, 2012Previous PagePage 203 of 389Next PageTop StoriesAIU.S. FDA may need to clarify SaMD validation standardsIn a video interview, a Dana-Farber Cancer Institute expert describes what the "rigor spectrum" is in validation study designs.Molecular ImagingPSMA-PET/CT may replace NaF-PET/CT in advanced prostate cancerWomens ImagingPreop breast MRI improves surgical planning, but use disparities remainWomens ImagingFIGO classification from MRI leads to moderate agreement among radsSponsor ContentRegister Now: Breaking Barriers in Breast Imaging Webinar
