In this scientific poster, U.S. researchers will present their use of an open-source application that allows users to prevent data loss on their mobile computers.November 4, 2009ISACR pilot project shows the need for national CT dose databaseTuesday, December 1 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSJ12-06 | Room S402ABThe American College of Radiology (ACR) will use results from a pilot CT dose index registry to make the case for a national database to track radiation dose.November 4, 2009ISAutomated peer-review QA software beats paperTuesday, December 1 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ12-04 | Room S402ABTo maintain their institutional credentials, U.S. imaging facilities must set up a peer-review quality assurance program for radiologists to grade each other's work. Using paper and pencil to manage this process can be a headache, and that's why a Rhode Island radiology practice has implemented an automated software application for managing peer-review overreads.November 4, 2009UltrasoundLimits on off-hours DVT ultrasound may be more efficientRestricting the number of off-hours venous duplex ultrasound studies for evaluating deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can improve resource utilization without hurting patient care, according to research published in the Annals of Vascular Surgery.November 4, 2009Previous PagePage 255 of 393Next PageTop StoriesMRICardiac MRI-based ML model predicts MACE risk for STEMI patientsA machine-learning (ML) model based on cardiac MRI and clinical parameters performed well in a study of STEMI patients.Digital X-RayLow-value x-ray persists in patients with maxillofacial traumaCT'Quadruple low' PCCT protocol improves lung cancer imagingCTNew benchmark helps monitor cumulative CT radiation doseRadiation Oncology/TherapyStudy questions routine use of radiotherapy after bone surgery
