Eric Barnes[email protected]CTHaustral fold analysis may aid detection of flat colorectal polypsA new computer-aided detection scheme that maps haustral folds in the colon could benefit virtual colonoscopy interpretation in several important ways, according to researchers from Japan.September 11, 2008CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderSeptember 9, 2008CTPortable CT brings lower costs, reduced risk to ICUHospitals can save time and money by bringing CT scanners to intensive care patients rather than the other way around, according to a new study from researchers at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.September 9, 2008CTAuntMinnie.com Virtual Colonoscopy InsiderSeptember 8, 2008CTWider 3D viewing angle may aid polyp detectionVirtual colonoscopy readers saw a greater percentage of the colonic mucosa by increasing the field-of-view on their 3D software to match that of a standard colonoscope. However, the wider viewing angle may have also reduced polyp conspicuity and increased distortion, with unknown effects on detection sensitivity.September 8, 2008CTColor-coded tagging software speeds VC interpretationA novel color-coded fecal-tagging method significantly cut interpretation time for reduced-prep virtual colonoscopy in a recent study, easing a task that can be tiring and time-consuming for radiologists.September 4, 2008CTSodium bicarbonate doesn't prevent CIN reactionsFor clinicians hoping to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with impaired kidney function, sodium bicarbonate is starting to lose its fizz, according to research published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association.September 1, 2008CTCT techniques reveal subtle renal lesionsIt's not difficult to miss renal lesions at CT, considering the diminutive size and radiographic subtlety of some lesions. But the right imaging techniques can help ensure that perceptual errors don't get in the way of the diagnosis.August 27, 2008CTROI changes colorectal tumor perfusion measurementsThe development of automated perfusion-mapping software for CT data has opened up intriguing possibilities for the assessment of tumor vascularity, specifically for monitoring response to antiangiogenic drug treatment. But where, precisely, to measure tumor vascularity is a question that had not been addressed, according to U.K. researchers.August 25, 2008CTAutomated polyp measurement supports risk assessmentAutomated polyp-measurement software performed as well as human readers in a study that could lead to more efficient screening with virtual colonoscopy. The study sought to evaluate the accuracy of an automated polyp size measurement tool and its effectiveness for risk stratification in 305 subjects.August 25, 2008Previous PagePage 157 of 258Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayAI predicts death risk from COPDAn AI model for analyzing chest x-rays can identify individuals at risk of death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)Womens ImagingMusic lowers anxiety, pain for women undergoing mammographyMRI5 ways to reduce gadolinium pollutionMinniesMeet the Minnies 2025 finalistsSponsor ContentJoin Us!
