Eric Barnes[email protected]InterventionalGood stroke outcomes seen after forced suction thrombectomyMonday, November 29 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSE17-01 | Room N229The Penumbra revascularization system is an excellent recanalization tool for ischemic stroke patients; however, it can't recanalize every occluded vessel. Fortunately, a simple modification of Penumbra makes it possible to recanalize many other cases, say researchers from South Korea.November 18, 2010InterventionalTEA edges out TACE for ablation of unresectable HCCSunday, November 28 | 11:45 a.m.-11:55 a.m. | SSA24-07 | Room E350Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard ablation method for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but transarterial ethanol ablation (TEA) may gain a foothold as an alternative method due to its potential for better outcomes, Hong Kong researchers report.November 18, 2010InterventionalRisk factors predict need for eventual reintervention after aneurysm repairSunday, November 28 | 11:15 a.m.-11:25 a.m. | SSA23-04 | Room E352What are the chances an endovascular aneurysm repair for an abdominal aortic aneurysm will need reintervention? Using computer-aided detection, one can predict the odds before the procedure takes place -- and even better postoperatively, as soon as the patient is sewn up, say researchers from Kingston University in London.November 18, 2010InterventionalFusion imaging system enables ablation of liver tumors undetectable at USSunday, November 28 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA24-03 | Room E350A real-time fusion imaging system that combines ultrasound with CT or MRI allows liver tumors to be targeted and ablated that otherwise would not have been detected on ultrasound, according to this study to be presented on Sunday.November 18, 2010CTCT attenuation changes after RFA predict 6-month HCC outcomesSunday, November 28 | 10:55 a.m.-11:05 a.m. | SSA24-02 | Room E350Patients destined to show signs of recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions reveal different CT attenuation patterns within 24 hours of the procedure, according to researchers from Mexico.November 18, 2010InterventionalTechnical issues render US-guided HCC ablation unfeasibleSunday, November 28 | 10:45 a.m.-10:55 a.m. | SSA24-01 | Room E350Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation is one of the best options for patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions, which are often considered inoperable. But the procedure is technically unfeasible in nearly 40% of candidates for a variety of reasons, say researchers from South Korea.November 18, 2010Cardiac ImagingAuntMinnie.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderNovember 15, 2010CTIn partnership, some gastroenterologists embrace VCGastroenterology's perspective on virtual colonoscopy isn't entirely positive. But it's improved to the point where gastroenterologists are finding common ground with radiologists on the subject of screening: i.e., that the availability of multiple screening options is the only way to care for an aging U.S. population.November 14, 2010CTPerfusion brain CT performed at normal head CT dosesFriday, December 3 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SST14-05 | Room S403BIn brain perfusion CT, multiple time-resolved images are needed to track the flow of contrast through the brain, leading to higher radiation doses in the range of 300-500 mGy. But researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, can do it with less radiation -- down to 75 mGy -- using a gradient adaptive bilateral filter noise reduction algorithm.November 10, 2010CTHigh image quality seen in high-pitch cardiac DSCTFriday, December 3 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SST03-01 | Room S502ABHigh-pitch cardiac CT is becoming an important new method of scanning the thorax quickly and at very low doses. A group from Medical University of Vienna tried it on a 128-slice dual-source CT (DSCT) scanner and came up with excellent results versus other scanning methods.November 10, 2010Previous PagePage 113 of 258Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalLung biopsy before surgery linked to cancer recurrenceThe findings confirm concerns about “tumor cell spillage” during the procedure.CTAbnormal CT-FFR results translate to up to 7 years of cardiovascular riskMolecular ImagingPSMA-PET/CT reporting varies widely in the U.S.Womens ImagingAuditing preop MRIs is feasible under upcoming BI-RADS recommendationsSponsor ContentRegister Now: Breaking Barriers in Breast Imaging Webinar
