Ridley[email protected]PACS/VNAThin-slice management smoothes handling of MDCT studiesWednesday, December 2 | 12:15 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-IN2148-L05 | Lakeside Learning CenterMDCT data can put a strain on any PACS network, but Japanese researchers have figured out a clever way to handle large MDCT datasets while maintaining access to high-resolution thin-slice CT data.November 1, 2009PACS/VNAOff-the-shelf LCD monitors may need more time to warm upMonday, November 30 | 12:15 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-IN2122-D07 | Lakeside Learning CenterIt may take more than the currently recommended 30 minutes to adequately warm up off-the-shelf LCDs, according to research to be presented in this scientific poster by researchers from University College Dublin in Ireland.November 1, 2009PACS/VNAAlgorithm helps launch CAD apps automaticallyThursday, December 3 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSQ10-08 | Room S402ABIn this Thursday scientific session presentation, researchers from Siemens Healthcare will discuss their development of an image recognition algorithm that can automatically detect anatomical content and orientation of radiographs -- and launch a computer-aided detection (CAD) application, if necessary.November 1, 2009PACS/VNACDs might not be as reliable as advertisedThursday, December 3 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSQ10-06 | Room S402ABInstitutions with legacy CD and DVD backup archives would be wise to regularly check on the integrity of their image data, according to this scientific session presentation based on research from University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands.November 1, 2009PACS/VNACalibration tool allows standard PC monitors to be used for trials, reviewThursday, December 3 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSQ10-02 | Room S402ABAddressing calibration of off-the-shelf displays, researchers from Stanford University will discuss the development of a calibration tool that enables radiologists to verify their PC's display quality, allowing them to remotely participate in clinical trials over the Internet.November 1, 2009PACS/VNARegular tuneups help off-the-shelf displaysTuesday, December 1 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ12-05 | Room S402ABThe use of secondary off-the-shelf displays for specific clinical purposes is growing, aided by the proliferation of Web-based image viewing software. Clinical users can get the most out of these displays by calibrating them regularly, according to research from University College Dublin in Ireland.November 1, 2009PACS/VNAAutomated 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 1, 2009PACS/VNAFree DICOM anonymizers: You get what you pay forTuesday, December 1 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ12-03 | Room S402ABIn this Tuesday scientific session paper, a University of Pennsylvania team visits the issue of anonymizing protected health information, finding that freely available DICOM software for patient deidentification may not be the best option.November 1, 2009PACS/VNAOsiriX plug-in adds structure to image annotationTuesday, December 1 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSG10-07 | Room S402ABIn this Tuesday morning scientific session presentation, researchers from Stanford University in Stanford, CA, will discuss a plug-in for the open-source OsiriX image viewer that allows radiologists to create standardized annotations on radiology images.November 1, 2009PACS/VNAWeb-based broker helps researchers tackle HIPAA headachesMonday, November 30 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSC08-09 | Room S402ABThe passage of HIPAA created challenges for researchers who now have to ensure that patient data they're working with doesn't include protected health information. In this Monday talk, a group from the University of Chicago School of Medicine will discuss iBroker, an application they've developed that helps researchers handle HIPAA requirements.November 1, 2009Previous PagePage 257 of 393Next PageTop StoriesCTNew benchmark helps monitor cumulative CT radiation doseThe findings highlight the need for systematic dose tracking and rigorous justification of imaging.Radiation Oncology/TherapyStudy questions routine use of radiotherapy after bone surgeryUltrasoundCEUS outshines color Doppler imaging for indeterminate kidney lesionsWomens ImagingWomen's Imaging MinnieCast, Episode 2: Risk-based vs. annual mammography screening, part 1Digital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputations
