In 2008, the Albuquerque, NM-based society will replace the conference with its ASRT Annual Governance and House of Delegates meeting. The general education portion of the meeting will be eliminated in favor of a new emphasis on the ASRT's governance system, according to the society.October 4, 2007AICAD systems differ in detecting small noncalcified breast massesTwo computer-aided detection (CAD) systems yielded varying sensitivity in detecting small invasive breast carcinoma, according to a study published in the October issue of Radiology. The researchers compared two CAD systems for detecting invasive breast cancers manifesting as noncalcified masses smaller than 16 mm.October 4, 2007UltrasoundLeft atrial size adds prognostic value in stress echo examsLeft atrial (LA) size provides independent and incremental value over standard risk factors such as left ventricular systolic dysfunction and ischemia in patients referred for stress echocardiography exams, according to a new study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.September 25, 2007CTCAD may improve sensitivity of MDCT screening examsComputer-aided detection (CAD) technology can improve radiologists' sensitivity for detecting solid lung nodules 4 mm or larger during multidetector CT chest screening studies, according to research published in the October issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.September 20, 2007UltrasoundVascular screening may facilitate early disease detection, managementUltrasound vascular screening offers the promise of early disease identification when performed appropriately, allowing individuals to receive preventive medicine, according to Phillip Bendick, Ph.D., of William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI.
