Eric Barnes[email protected]CTAccurate, fast soft-plaque measurement seen with coronary CTAAutomated measurement of soft plaque in the heart using coronary CT angiography (CTA) was accurate compared to the gold-standard modality, intravascular ultrasound, and was far faster than manual methods, concluded a new report published online this month in Radiology.September 20, 2010CTBundling of CAD software boosts lung lesion detection at CTRunning CT lung images through multiple computer-aided detection (CAD) applications delivers better results than any single algorithm alone, researchers are finding. This phenomenon is unleashing a minitrend that may be discomforting to CAD developers concerned about the success of their systems.September 20, 2010CTCAD algorithm spots acute intracranial hemorrhageIn stroke treatment, time is brain, as they say, but the timely detection of acute intracranial hemorrhage can be difficult when dealing with subcentimeter lesions or inexperienced readers. A new computer-aided detection (CAD) system designed to detect blood clots in the brain could be a welcome addition.September 19, 2010CTAdvanced VC tool serves up polyp locations for colonoscopyLarge polyps found at virtual colonoscopy are referred to optical colonoscopy for removal, and that's generally the end of the story. But VC-detected polyps can't always be found quickly and easily at colonoscopy, so an automated method of finding them might be just what the gastroenterologist ordered.September 16, 2010CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderSeptember 15, 2010CTASIR enables big CT dose reductions in the abdomenAdaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) of CT data cuts noise and boosts diagnostic confidence of abdominal lesions while slashing radiation dose, reported researchers who used an ASIR algorithm instead of traditional filtered back projection.September 14, 2010Industry NewsDispositivo para reducir nefropatía por medios de contrasteUn tipo de catéter que drena el medio de contraste del corazón tras angiografía y otros procedimientos intervencionistas puede bajar el riesgo de la nefropatía por contraste (NC), según investigadores australianos.September 12, 2010CTContrast-removal device may reduce CIN riskA catheter-based device that drains contrast media from the heart after angiography and other interventional procedures have been completed could cut the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), according to researchers from Australia.September 12, 2010CTAuntMinnie.com Virtual Colonoscopy InsiderSeptember 8, 2010CTStudy finds VC cost-effective if tiny polyps are ignoredVirtual colonoscopy is cost-effective for colorectal cancer screening, assuming that only patients with polyps 6 mm or larger are referred for polypectomy, a new French study has concluded. Removing the smallest lesions is not only prohibitively expensive, the yield in terms of additional cancer is minimal.September 8, 2010Previous PagePage 118 of 258Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingExperts issue appropriate use criteria for molecular breast imagingThe criteria offer use scenarios for technetium-99 (Tc-99m) sestamibi-based gamma camera imaging of the breast.MRIfMRI: Cognitive behavioral therapy positively affects the brainPractice ManagementPost Cures Act, outpatients access radiology reports fasterMRIMRI may help guide brachial plexus surgeryAIShould hospitals pursue local domain LLM adaptation for radiology reports?
