Eric Barnes[email protected]CTED patients more confident in diagnosis based on CTEmergency department (ED) patients with abdominal pain are far more confident in their diagnosis when a CT scan is used as part of their workup, according to a study in Annals of Emergency Medicine. However, the patients knew surprisingly little about the risks of ionizing radiation.December 13, 2010CTSecond-reader CAD improves VC sensitivityComputer-aided detection (CAD) works best in virtual colonoscopy when human readers do their job first, according to a new study. The use of CAD as a second reader improved both per-patient and per-polyp detection, while running CAD concurrently with the initial read was less effective.December 13, 2010CTFecal immunochemical testing between colonoscopies reduces riskIndividuals with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer can cut their risk of dying from the disease by undergoing annual fecal immunochemical testing between the standard 10-year cycles of colonoscopy screening, according to a new study in Gastroenterology.December 7, 2010CT'Translucent view' may aid detection of adenomas at VC"Translucent view" polyp rendering is inadequate for primary diagnosis in virtual colonoscopy, but it can help distinguish adenomas from hyperplastic lesions and other likely benign findings, say researchers from Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY.December 6, 2010CTLung cancer outweighs breast cancer risk in chest CTCHICAGO - Even in women, who face higher risks of cancer than men from chest CT scans, the risk of lung cancer far outweighs that of breast cancer, according to researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.December 1, 2010CTConcurrent lung CAD equivalent to second readCHICAGO - Reading lung CT scans concurrently with computer-aided detection (CAD) is much faster and about as accurate as first reading the images unaided, and then following up with CAD, concludes a study presented on Wednesday at the 2010 RSNA meeting.December 1, 2010CTVC in Medicare patients doesn't lead to more imagingCHICAGO - Older patients undergoing virtual colonoscopy do not require significantly more follow-up imaging than younger screening patients, concludes a new study from New York University School of Medicine in New York City.November 30, 2010CTDNA damage reduced at 320-slice coronary CTACHICAGO - Low-dose coronary CT angiography (CTA) delivered far less DNA damage than conventional coronary angiography, researchers from Berlin reported on Monday at the RSNA meeting's cardiac imaging sessions.November 28, 2010CTAutomated PE protocol tool optimizes contrast use, image qualityCHICAGO - Individualized contrast media protocols can cut the use of contrast and the radiation dose while optimizing contrast attenuation for suspected pulmonary embolism (PE), according to South Carolina researchers who presented research on Sunday at the RSNA conference.November 28, 2010CTSimple calcium counting at chest CT predicts mortality riskA simple counting method that assesses coronary artery calcium (CAC) from low-dose chest CT scans can be used to predict an individual's risk of death from cardiac disease, according to study results published in the November issue of Radiology.November 23, 2010Previous PagePage 111 of 258Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingAuditing preop MRIs is feasible under upcoming BI-RADS recommendationsGoing by the upcoming BI-RADS manual resulted in metrics that were within expected ranges based on prior data.Womens ImagingSocial adversity tied to TNBC incidence rates in Black womenPractice ManagementWhat radiology practices need to know about the federal government shutdownMolecular ImagingPET/CT shows value in patients with soft-tissue sarcomasSponsor ContentRegister Now: Breaking Barriers in Breast Imaging Webinar
