Eric Barnes[email protected]CTACR 2017: Radiation dose varies in head CTs of childrenA large analysis of pediatric head CT scans across the U.S. showed surprisingly large variations in radiation dose that increased as children grew older, according to results presented at this week's American College of Radiology (ACR) meeting in Washington, DC.May 22, 2017ISMassive cyberattack cripples U.K. health servicesEngland and Scotland have been hit by a large-scale cyberattack that has compromised National Health Service facilities in both countries, including radiology services, according to news and social media reports from affected facilities.May 11, 2017AI'Deep patient' may point the way to better careSAN JOSE, CA - With so much research focused on disease diagnosis using artificial intelligence, it's easy to overlook a largely untapped resource that could wield at least as much firepower to reinvent healthcare for the better. That resource is the deep patient, according to a May 11 talk at the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference.May 11, 2017CTDeep learning for lung cancer advances goalsSAN JOSE, CA - Deep-learning algorithms based on convolutional neural networks are advancing a number of cherished goals in lung cancer analysis that will soon help patients live longer -- and even predict how long they might expect to live, according to a May 10 talk at the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference.May 10, 2017Nuclear MedicineNuclear cardiology lab cuts radiation dose by 60%A large nuclear cardiology lab was able to reduce its average radiation dose by 60% over the past eight years, according to new research presented on Friday at the International Conference on Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT in Vienna and published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.May 7, 2017CTDiagnostic reference levels reduce CT dosesEstablishing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for radiation dose is a powerful tool for reducing radiation exposure in CT, according to a study by Canadian researchers published in the May issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.May 4, 2017Advanced VisualizationRSNA highlights 3D printing resourcesThe RSNA recognizes the value of 3D printing in medicine and plans to use its new 3D Printing Special Interest Group to promote the highest-quality 3D printing applications for medicine via education, collaboration, and research, while assisting in the development of news stories about 3D printing.May 3, 2017UltrasoundContrast image processing boosts ultrasound performanceAn image processing technique applied to contrast-enhanced ultrasound can deliver sharp, spatially compounded images without the need for additional transmit and receive cycles that can damage microbubble contrast, researchers have concluded.May 3, 2017Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderApril 30, 2017CTPhoton-counting breast CT shows promiseTests of a prototype photon-counting detector breast CT scanner show that the system could be useful as an adjunct to low-dose breast CT by separating the energy levels of different types of materials within the breast to assess tissue composition and improve cancer diagnosis.April 26, 2017Previous PagePage 2 of 258Next PageTop StoriesISMRM 2025ISMRM: Synthesized MR images mitigate patient exposure to gadoliniumUsing synthesized "contrast-enhanced" images can address gadolinium-related health concerns and cut exam time.ISMRM 2025ISMRM: MRI postoperative imaging useful for DBS treatment planningISMRM 2025ISMRM: DMI metabolic modeling provides insight for neuro diseasesISMRM 2025ISMRM: AI reconstruction can improve sustainability in MRIWomens ImagingBreast texture patterns on mammo may predict cancer risk in dense breasts
