Ridley[email protected]MRILow reader confidence in CAD hinders results in MRA screeningComputer-aided detection (CAD) technology can be a valuable tool for improving the detection of cerebral aneurysms, but researchers from the University of Tokyo found that a lack of reader confidence in CAD findings can impede its effectiveness when used for MR angiography (MRA) screening.February 14, 2012Advanced VisualizationTackling the challenge of setting up a 3D lab: Part 2In the scond part of our series on how to set up a 3D laboratory, AuntMinnie.com provides coverage of Dr. Eliot Siegel's suggestions on topics such as dealing with billing and coding issues and navigating the pitfalls of 3D labs.February 12, 2012UltrasoundShear-wave elastography improves breast US specificityA large multicenter, international trial published in the February issue of Radiology has found that ultrasound with a shear-wave elastography protocol can significantly improve the specificity of breast ultrasound without hurting sensitivity.February 8, 2012Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderFebruary 7, 2012PACS/VNAU.S. bill aims to clear telehealth state licensing bottlenecksAll physicians must be licensed in any state in which they practice, a requirement that can be time-consuming and costly for those wanting to practice telemedicine and teleradiology. But a bill expected to be introduced in Congress this year aims to make it easier to use medical licenses across state lines.February 6, 2012MRIModified tablet PC guides interventional MRI scansThe MRI suite wouldn't seem to be the safest place to use a tablet PC, but an interventional MR physicist has found a way to make it work. Using an HP TouchPad modified to work within powerful magnetic fields, Andrew Holbrook, PhD, hopes to make it easier to perform interventional MR scans.February 1, 2012UltrasoundJACR: Nonradiologists drive musculoskeletal US growthNonradiologists -- podiatrists, in particular -- are dramatically increasing their utilization of musculoskeletal ultrasound, according to an analysis of Medicare data published in the February issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.January 31, 2012Advanced VisualizationTackling the challenge of setting up a 3D lab: Part 1In the first of a two-part series on how to set up a 3D laboratory, AuntMinnie.com provides coverage of Dr. Eliot Siegel's suggestions on issues such as cost-effectiveness, workflow, 3D technologists, and software purchasing decisions.January 31, 2012PACS/VNACT dose reporting challenged by current indicatorsCapturing CT radiation dose information is a hot topic, but it's complicated by the incomplete methods used for measuring, determining, and calculating dose, said Anthony Seibert, PhD, of the University of California, Davis. Seibert discussed dose capture in a January 25 webinar hosted by the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine.January 26, 2012PACS/VNADespite speed bump, iPad up for task of assessing tuberculosisDespite experiencing noticeably slower workflow, radiologists evaluating patients for tuberculosis reported similar diagnostic performance regardless of whether they read images from Apple's iPad or a traditional LCD monitor, according to research from the University of Maryland.January 25, 2012Previous PagePage 209 of 389Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingExperts issue appropriate use criteria for molecular breast imagingThe criteria offer use scenarios for technetium-99 (Tc-99m) sestamibi-based gamma camera imaging of the breast.MRIfMRI: Cognitive behavioral therapy positively affects the brainPractice ManagementPost Cures Act, outpatients access radiology reports fasterMRIMRI may help guide brachial plexus surgeryAIShould hospitals pursue local domain LLM adaptation for radiology reports?
