Eric Barnes[email protected]CTCAD prototype improves VC for inexperienced readersA pilot virtual colonoscopy study using mostly inexperienced readers found that computer-aided detection (CAD) significantly improved sensitivity for colorectal polyps while increasing the false-positive rate for some readers.April 23, 2006CTMDCT correlates ACS to mixed plaquesMDCT can identify coronary plaque type in most patients with suspected coronary artery disease, and even correlate mixed plaque composition with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presentations, according to a pilot study from Austria.April 19, 2006CTPart I: Automated CT lung nodule assessment advancesIn the first installment of our two-part series, researchers assess the critical issue of volumetry in a number of ways, ranging from automated versus manual nodule measurement to volumetry using different reconstruction parameters, to measurement accuracy of compressed datasets.April 16, 2006CTMDCT a good alternative to TTE for aortic stenosisMultidetector-row CT is highly sensitive for identifying patients with degenerative aortic stenosis, providing excellent correlation with transthoracic echocardiography in quantifying disease extent, according to researchers from Austria.April 13, 2006CTAuntMinnie.com CT Radiology InsiderApril 11, 2006CTRare venous malformations look like polyps on VCA colorectal cancer screening patient presented with multiple venous malformations that were initially mistaken for neoplastic polyps on virtual colonoscopy, according to a case report published in this month's American Journal of Roentgenology.April 11, 2006CTCardiac imaging dazzles, but radiologists can't compete aloneNoninvasive cardiac imaging modalities, especially CT and MRI, have transformed the face of cardiac imaging in recent years, opening up an all-but-limitless future for detecting and managing heart disease. But in the long run, radiologists cannot succeed without formal and significant ties to cardiologists, according to a presentation at the recent European Congress of Radiology (ECR).April 9, 2006CTVC CAD improves results for readers at all levelsVirtual colonoscopy computer-aided detection (CAD) studies in recent years have shown promising results for the detection of colorectal polyps and cancer. But do CAD results actually improve reader performance? A group of radiologists in the U.K. sought to answer the question by assessing how VC CAD affects patient classification, polyp detection, and reading times. They found that VC CAD improved reader performance -- significantly and fairly evenly -- at all levels.April 6, 2006Cardiac ImagingAuntMinnie.com Cardiac Imaging Radiology InsiderApril 4, 2006CTAuntMinnie.com Virtual Colonoscopy Radiology InsiderApril 2, 2006Previous PagePage 193 of 258Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingPET predicts faster cognitive decline in women than menWomen initially outperformed men at low brain tau levels, but the advantage diminished as tau levels increased over time.MRIUnclear explanations of contrast MRI exams heighten patient anxietyWomens ImagingMammography screening improves survival for late-stage cancersUltrasoundUltrasound MinnieCast, Episode 2: Body imaging with RUS-PATSponsor ContentHow Agentic AI Is Transforming Radiology Ops
