Eric Barnes[email protected]CTSpectral shaping delivers low-dose diagnostic chest CT in obese patientsThursday, December 1 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSQ03-01 | Room E351Spectral shaping with tin beam filtration can improve thoracic CT in large adults weighing more than 90 kg, according to this Thursday morning presentation.October 31, 2016CTHow to image obstructive coronary artery diseaseThursday, December 1 | 8:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m. | RC603 | Room E351This review course gets to the heart of coronary disease, the malady underlying most cardiac morbidity, mortality, and expense. It includes a state-of-the-evidence talk, a discussion of CT myocardial perfusion imaging, and even two talks on MRI of coronary disease.October 31, 2016CTIs SSDE best for tracking dose in low-dose CT lung cancer screening?Thursday, December 1 | All day | PH107-ED-X | Lakeside, PH CommunityCan size-specific dose estimates (SSDEs) be considered the preferred dose index for detectability in lung cancer screening? This collaborative exhibit between Japanese and U.S. researchers explores the suitability of SSDE for dose assessment in lung cancer screening.October 31, 2016CTVolume wins again in epidural spine metastasesWednesday, November 30 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSM18-03 | Room N229Epidural spine metastases are defined as a radiologic critical finding because any delay in reporting may result in substantially increased morbidity. But how can imaging be optimized to find more of them?October 31, 2016CTTime of detection matters in lung nodule malignancyWednesday, November 30 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSM05-01 | Room S404ABIn a study that analyzed the risk of malignancy of screen-detected solid lung nodules, researchers from the Netherlands found that nodule size remains by far the most important predictor of malignancy. But when a nodule is discovered also matters.October 31, 2016CTPerfusion CT predicts treatment response, survival in HCCWednesday, November 30 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSK06-01 | Room E353ACT perfusion imaging offers early biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients being treated with the kinase inhibitor sorafenib, helping doctors quickly determine who will survive longer and who is not being helped by the drug, say researchers in Japan.October 31, 2016CTMyocardial fat offers protective shieldTuesday, November 29 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ04-05 | Room S504ABMyocardial fat on CT images has long been thought to be a bad thing, so researchers in New York City were surprised to find just the opposite in 1,000 patients: enhanced survival and potentially a readjusted risk profile.October 31, 2016CTTechnique uses CT to assess subchondral bone densityTuesday, November 29 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSG09-07 | Room E450BResearchers from Switzerland have found a way to evaluate bone mineral density in the subchondral bone using high-resolution CT, paving the way to better understanding of osteoarthritis, leading to treatment or a cure.October 31, 2016CTOrgan-based dose modulation tames a high-dose CT examTuesday, November 29 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSG04-07 | Room E352An organ-based dose modulation system enables reduction of CT liver doses by one-quarter or more, with no reduction in image quality, say researchers from France.October 31, 2016CTStudy measures accuracy of iodine quantificationTuesday, November 29 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSG12-06 | Room S403BThe accuracy of iodine quantification is becoming a critical question as researchers rely increasingly on dual-energy CT to quantify the composition of scanned materials. Researchers tested three different scanners to find out how well they do the job.October 31, 2016Previous PagePage 11 of 258Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingCase report: Pluvicto as a first-line treatment in late-stage prostate cancerSince 1996, the patient continually declined androgen deprivation therapy, chemotherapy, and local therapy to the prostate gland.MRINew brain MRI imaging technique could help identify Alzheimer'sRadiology EducationScholarly activity low among residency program directorsDigital X-Ray3D DEXA shows value in patients with prostate cancerSponsor ContentDigital Innovations Shaping the Future of Radiology
