Erik L. Ridley[email protected]MRIModified 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, 2012PACS/VNAPACS app alerts radiologists of follow-up studiesResearchers are reporting their experiences with a PACS plug-in app that allows radiologists to automatically track whether follow-up imaging studies have been performed. The app opens the door for an expanded role in patient management -- and closer relationships with referring physicians.January 22, 2012PACS/VNAPACS market primed for double-digit growthThe global PACS market generated $2.8 billion U.S. (2.1 billion euros) in revenues in 2010, and it is expected to grow at a 10% compound annual growth rate to reach approximately $5.4 billion (4.2 billion euros) by 2017, according to a new report from market research firm GlobalData.January 18, 2012HomeDigital x-ray for black lung; assessing melanoma therapy responseJanuary 11, 2012Advanced VisualizationQuality control program boosts 3D lab performanceA quality control program can not only lower 3D image generation errors in 3D labs, it can also improve productivity, according to a study published in the January issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.January 9, 2012PACS/VNAImporting outside studies into PACS avoids repeat imagingRepeat imaging studies can add unnecessary cost and radiation dose for patients. Importing outside imaging exams into PACS can significantly improve the odds of avoiding this source of overutilization, according to research from the University of California, San Francisco.December 25, 2011Previous PagePage 210 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
