But a study published in the October issue of Nutrition found that ultrasound bone-density values were higher for women who drink beer, besting both wine drinkers and teetotalers.September 22, 2009MRICAD enhances breast MRI specificityAlthough breast MRI is highly sensitive for detecting breast cancer, the technique remains plagued by a relatively low level of specificity. But computer-aided detection (CAD) technology can help reduce false-positive findings, according to research published online this month in European Radiology.September 16, 2009PACS/VNACanadian analysis finds PACS more costly than filmInstalling a PACS network may cost more upfront, but it saves money in the long term compared to film-based imaging, right? Not so fast, according to Canadian researchers who found that from an economic perspective, PACS may not be for everyone.September 14, 2009UltrasoundContrast-enhanced perfusion echo bolsters treadmill stress testsMyocardial perfusion echocardiography with contrast can improve the sensitivity of dobutamine stress tests in detecting coronary artery disease and also improve the performance of treadmill exercise stress echocardiography, according to a study published online in Heart.September 13, 2009Previous PagePage 259 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
