Erik L. Ridley[email protected]PACS/VNACAD, PACS pairing boosts lung nodule detection, saves timeThe use of computer-aided detection (CAD) technology as a concurrent reader on PACS workstations can improve the performance of inexperienced readers in detecting lung nodules, according to a study from Catholic University in Rome.April 29, 2010UltrasoundThyroid elastography may reduce unnecessary FNA biopsiesA significant percentage of thyroid nodule fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies lead to benign findings. But use of thyroid elastography may avoid the need for biopsy in many of these patients, according to research published in the April issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.April 20, 2010UltrasoundComputer analysis bolsters liver elastography performanceComputer-enhanced dynamic analysis of ultrasound elastography movies is a useful and reliable method for depicting liver hardness, yielding a high level of interreader agreement, according to research published April 14 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology.April 13, 2010ISSpanish study finds speech recognition saves time, moneyA large study of speech recognition that included nearly 140,000 reports has confirmed the technology's ability to dramatically reduce report turnaround time while saving money. Researchers found that speech recognition slashed turnaround time from about 5.5 hours with conventional transcription to just over one hour.April 11, 2010UltrasoundLow-cost US device shows promise for carotid screeningWhile strokes caused by carotid artery stenosis are preventable, duplex ultrasound screening has failed to demonstrate cost-effectiveness. The developers of an inexpensive ultrasound device hope to change the equation with a two-step screening process analogous to the practice of mammography.April 8, 2010PACS/VNARadiologists dissatisfied with ultrasound features on PACSLagging ultrasound functionality available on PACS software has long been a sore point with many radiologists. And it remains so today, according to a recent survey that found that radiologists were less happy with ultrasound PACS functionality compared to users of other modalities.April 7, 2010UltrasoundAuntMinnie.com Ultrasound InsiderApril 4, 2010PACS/VNARIS/PACS integration with personal EHR can be a tough taskInterest is percolating in the use of personal electronic health records (EHRs). But integrating radiology images and information with these records may be a difficult hurdle to clear, if the experience of Heidelberg University Hospital in Germany is any indication.April 4, 2010PACS/VNAAuntMinnie.com PACS InsiderMarch 30, 2010UltrasoundDoes keepsake ultrasound lead to gender abortions in Calif.?The use of ultrasound to enable gender-selective abortion has been associated with abnormally low female-to-male birth ratios in a number of Asian countries. But the proliferation of fetal keepsake ultrasound in the U.S. may be responsible for a similar trend in California among Asian communities.March 29, 2010Previous PagePage 247 of 393Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingPET predicts faster cognitive decline in women than menWomen initially outperformed men at low brain tau levels, but the advantage diminished as tau levels increased over time.MRIUnclear explanations of contrast MRI exams heighten patient anxietyWomens ImagingMammography screening improves survival for late-stage cancersUltrasoundUltrasound MinnieCast, Episode 2: Body imaging with RUS-PATSponsor ContentHow Agentic AI Is Transforming Radiology Ops
