The technology's use in echocardiography continues under a cloud from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's black box warning, and the agency still hasn't provided clearance for use in radiology applications. But the International Contrast Ultrasound Society (ICUS) aims to help change all that.September 24, 2008Image ProcessingAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderSeptember 23, 2008CTCAD detects more lung nodules but not necessarily more cancerComputer-aided detection (CAD) technology can significantly improve the overall performance of radiologists in detecting lung nodules, but it may not provide a statistically significant difference for detecting more lung cancer, according to research published in the Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography.September 23, 2008UltrasoundB-mode US shines in measuring carotid atherosclerosisB-mode ultrasound provides the highest intraobserver and interscan reproducibility for measuring carotid atherosclerosis compared with 3D ultrasound and MRI, according to recent research from the University of Western Ontario.
