Erik L. Ridley[email protected]PACS/VNAMedical imaging? There's an app for thatMonday, November 30 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSC08-08 | Room S402ABDozens of apps, in fact. In this Monday scientific session presentation, researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City and the Hospital of the University of Philadelphia will discuss the rapidly growing number of medical applications for the iPhone, many of which offer value in radiology.November 1, 2009PACS/VNAInternational teleradiology communicates emergency resultsMonday, November 30 | 11:30 a.m-11:40 a.m. | SSC07-07 | Room S102DOne of the biggest knocks against international teleradiology has been a belief that radiologists located onsite or within the community are better positioned to adequately communicate critical emergency findings to referring physicians, compared to teleradiologists who aren't based in the U.S. That theory will be addressed in a presentation by Dr. Stephen Eigles of international teleradiology firm Teleradiology Solutions.November 1, 2009PACS/VNAImage texture allows for accurate image classificationMonday, November 30 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSC08-05 | Room S402ABRadiology is a visual medium, right? Then why not use visual information when looking for images, to improve upon traditional text-based data search methods? That's the proposal in this study, to be presented in the scientific sessions on Monday by a team of researchers from Medical College of Wisconsin and Oregon Health and Science University.November 1, 2009PACS/VNAWorkflow dashboard software orchestrates suite musicMonday, November 30 | 11:00 a.m-11:10 a.m. | SSC08-04 | Room S402ABAn imaging facility is like an orchestra -- every member of the team must play in tune in order to make sweet music. In this presentation, University of Chicago researchers will discuss their work on a dashboard application designed to improve efficiency by providing a graphical view of patient flow within an imaging suite.November 1, 2009PACS/VNAA better way to find a needle (image) in a haystack (PACS)Sunday, November 29 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA11-06 | Room S403ASometimes, trying to find the exact image you want in a PACS archive can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. In this Sunday scientific session presentation, Chinese researchers will discuss their development of a new database search strategy that relies on both text and image information to help radiologists when they're looking for visually similar images.November 1, 2009UltrasoundUltrasound microbubbles pack gene therapy payload to treat diabeticsUltrasound and microbubble contrast agents have proved to be a valuable team in many diagnostic applications. But these technologies may also ultimately combine to give a significant boost to the nascent field of gene therapy, according to research presented at the Advances in Contrast Ultrasound: ICUS Bubble Conference in Chicago.October 28, 2009UltrasoundAuntMinnie.com Ultrasound InsiderOctober 22, 2009AIFDA issues draft guidance on CADIn what may be both good and bad news for the computer-aided detection (CAD) software industry, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has released its long-awaited draft guidance for CAD technology.October 21, 2009PACS/VNAACR: Use of teleradiology triples from 2003-2007The U.S. market for teleradiology services nearly tripled in size from 2003 to 2007, but the market's torrid growth may already be slowing, according to a study by American College of Radiology (ACR) researchers published in the November issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.October 19, 2009UltrasoundContrast ultrasound may spot early signs of atherosclerosisContrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can allow for reliable quantification of the neovascularization of the carotid artery vasa vasorum, enabling early identification of a condition that can be a precursor to atherosclerosis, according to a presentation at this week's Advances in Contrast Ultrasound: ICUS Bubble Conference in Chicago.October 19, 2009Previous PagePage 258 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
