The team presented its findings Sunday at this week's RSNA 2007 meeting.November 24, 2007MRICEUS performs well with cystic pancreatic massesContrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) compares favorably with MRI in displaying anatomic features of cystic pancreatic masses, according to research published in the December issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology. A team from the University of Verona in Italy and New York University Medical Center in New York City compared unenhanced sonography, contrast-enhanced sonography, and MRI in displaying the anatomic features of cystic pancreatic masses greater than 1.5 mm in diameter.November 22, 2007CTComputer-aided program can help match metastatic lung nodulesA computer-aided matching program can yield a high rate for matching metastatic pulmonary nodules on clinical series CT scans, provided that lung findings and lung expansion between the serial scans are relatively unchanged, according to a team from the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology in St. Louis.November 15, 2007PACS/VNAEmpiric Systems(Booth 5738) Empiric Systems will introduce its Encompass.NET 5.0 RIS/PACS at RSNA 2007.November 7, 2007ISMerge Healthcare(Booth 1122) Merge Healthcare will highlight several new products in its booth this year at McCormick Place.November 7, 2007PACS/VNAScImage(Booth 2551) ScImage will again focus on its PicomOnline hosted data center service.November 6, 2007PACS/VNAQStar Technologies(Booth 5413) QStar will highlight its SntryPACS offering and SntryStr archive appliance.November 6, 2007PACS/VNAPlasmon(Booth 7508) Plasmon will demonstrate its Archive Alliance (AA) Express appliance this year.November 6, 2007PACS/VNAInSite One(Booth 8308) InSite One will highlight version 4.1 of its InDex archiving technology on the RSNA show floor.November 6, 2007Previous PagePage 287 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
