A study from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, casts doubt on the utility of shields placed outside the scan region.October 31, 2016CTWhat radiologists need to know about the Zika virusMonday, November 28 | 7:15 a.m.-8:15 a.m. | SPSH21 | Room E450BThis Hot Topic Session will consist of five presentations on topics such as the role of the radiologist in Zika infection, prenatal imaging findings of congenital Zika infection, pathological correlation with imaging findings, and an update on prevention and vaccination.October 31, 2016CTCanadians study changing approaches to suspected acute appendicitisSunday, November 27 | 12:05 p.m.-12:15 p.m. | SSA06-09 | Room N226As imaging for suspected appendicitis continues to evolve, researchers in Ontario, Canada, sent questionnaires to centers across the country to find out how they were handling these patients. Among the findings: Ultrasound is often the first choice for diagnosing younger patients.October 31, 2016CTHow does tube current modulation affect CT lung cancer screening dose?Sunday, November 27 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA21-06 | Room S404ABResearchers from the University of California, Los Angeles designed a project to measure effective and organ radiation doses in lung cancer screening studies using tube current modulation. They found very low doses overall.October 31, 2016CT90 sites compete in low-dose liver lesion detectionSunday, November 27 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA20-06 | Room S403BLeading medical and physics societies created a contest to compare iterative reconstruction and denoising techniques in low-dose CT for liver lesion detection. Facilities in 26 countries took up the challenge, according to this presentation from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.October 31, 2016CTLow-dose 4D cardiac CT protocol makes procedure viableSunday, November 27 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA03-06 | Room S502ABIs it time for another look at functional 4D cardiac CT? Researchers from Japan proposed a cine cardiac CT scheme that permits accurate assessment of left-ventricular function at an extraordinarily small dose.October 31, 2016CTFFR-CT is formidable in reducing unnecessary invasive angiographySunday, November 27 | 11:15 a.m.-11:25 a.m. | SSA04-04 | Room S504ABBelgian radiologists tested noninvasive fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) to find out if it really reduced unnecessary invasive angiographies in chest pain patients undergoing coronary CT angiography. Their answer was yes, emphatically.October 31, 2016Previous PagePage 12 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
