A Rhode Island health system addressed this issue with software that issues alerts for at-risk patients who have received multiple studies.January 27, 2010UltrasoundColor Doppler US predicts survival of breast cancer patientsColor Doppler ultrasound indices can predict disease-free survival of breast cancer patients during neoadjuvant chemotherapy, according to research published in the European Journal of Radiology.January 25, 2010PACS/VNAHandheld devices show promise in emergency radiologyHandheld devices such as the iPod Touch may be suitable to review medical images in emergency radiology consultations, according to research published in the February issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.January 20, 2010UltrasoundCochrane: Doppler US improves outcomes in high-risk pregnanciesThe use of Doppler ultrasound to monitor fetal health during high-risk pregnancies improves outcomes by decreasing the number of both cesarean sections and perinatal deaths, according to a new meta-analysis from the Cochrane Collaboration.January 19, 2010UltrasoundExperience counts when reading contrast ultrasound liver imagesRadiologists with experience reading contrast-enhanced ultrasound images have the upper hand over neophytes in characterizing malignant liver tumors, according to research published in the January issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.January 18, 2010MRIUltrasound-based technique shows promise for atrial fibrillationIf researchers at the University of Virginia (UVA) Health System have anything to say about it, fluoroscopy may one day no longer be needed to guide catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. The UVA study team has developed a new catheter ablation technique that combines intracardiac echocardiography and electroanatomic mapping.January 14, 2010Advanced VisualizationHow to maximize your chances of 3D lab successBuilding a successful 3D laboratory requires proper handling of challenging issues such as 3D technologist training, 3D study protocols, and capturing sufficient revenue to cover the costs of the service. But the results are worth the effort, according to Dr. Eliot Siegel of the University of Maryland School of Medicine.January 13, 2010UltrasoundUltrasound elastography characterizes fibrosis severityA Spanish research team has found that ultrasound elastography can reliably differentiate between rapid or slow fibrosis in liver transplant patients, paving the way for earlier identification of patients at risk of hepatitis C recurrence.January 5, 2010Clinical NewsACRIN study finds RF ablation effective for reducing painAn American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) study has determined that image-guided radiofrequency (RF) ablation is safe and effective for lowering the level of pain experienced by cancer patients with bone metastases.January 4, 2010Previous PagePage 250 of 393Next PageTop StoriesCTUsing GPT‑4o with CT exams helps diagnose ovarian cancer earlierEarly detection of ovarian cancer is a persistent challenge, with more than half still diagnosed at metastatic stages.Womens ImagingSurvey: Nearly 4 out of 5 practices short on breast imagersRadiation Oncology/TherapyPooled evidence: Lu-177 PSMA-617 vs. established therapies in mCRPCMRICardiac MRI-based ML model predicts MACE risk for STEMI patientsSponsor ContentHow Agentic AI Is Transforming Radiology Ops
