Even flat lesions were more often visible with use of the open-source 2D-based interpretation software.April 5, 2010Digital X-RayAuntMinnie.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderApril 4, 2010Digital X-RayCardiac cath delivers high radiation doses to operatorsThe rapid development of new cardiac stents and other medical devices is opening up a world of possibilities for interventional procedures in the cath lab -- but it's also exposing equipment operators to ever-higher radiation doses.April 4, 2010CTAuntMinnie.com Virtual Colonoscopy InsiderMarch 31, 2010Digital X-RayHigh glucose signals contrast risk in angio patientsPatients with high blood glucose levels are at increased risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury after invasive coronary angiography, according to a just-published study of thousands of patients in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.March 30, 2010CTBlood infection risk extremely low with VCThe risk of bloodstream infections such as bacteremia leading to endocarditis is extremely low in virtual colonoscopy -- in fact, infection rates are probably even lower than in conventional colonoscopy, say researchers from Ireland, the U.K., and the U.S.March 30, 2010CTDSCT beats other methods for noninvasive gout diagnosisDual-source CT (DSCT) can reliably diagnose gout in its preclinical stages, opening the door to noninvasive diagnosis and earlier, more effective treatment, according to an article published in the April issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.March 29, 2010CTHeart rate key to image quality in low-dose coronary CTAHeart rate control is an important factor for success in prospectively gated coronary CT angiography (CTA). But once patients are beta-blocked, the success rate is high and the doses are uniformly low, according to a new study by Swiss researchers.March 28, 2010CTDiverticular disease favors prone over supine VC imagesDiverticular disease, an unfortunate result of low-fiber Western diets that increases in incidence with age to burden most of the elderly population, has a friend in virtual colonoscopy. That's because VC generally provides an easier colon exam for both patient and provider than conventional colonoscopy.March 25, 2010CTMassive VC study yields trove of extracolonic cancersA study of more than 10,000 asymptomatic screening subjects found that more than one in 200 had unsuspected and typically large but mostly early-stage cancers detected outside the colon at virtual colonoscopy.March 22, 2010Previous PagePage 128 of 258Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayNew procedure treats chronic pain in toe jointsMedian pain scores dropped for 27 patients from nine to one after five months.Practice ManagementHPI study, online tool identify and predict cancer disparitiesCTRadiology CSI: CT helps medical examiners determine cause of deathCTRadiomics plus DL improve prediction of lung cancer invasivenessSponsor ContentJoin Us!
