But radiologists should do their homework before plunging into this exciting area.April 4, 2016UltrasoundQuantitative ultrasound CAD analyzes multiple conditionsResearchers have created an algorithm for computer-aided detection (CAD) of ultrasound scans that can diagnose several diseases at once using quantitative texture analysis, according to an article in the Journal of Medical Imaging.March 28, 2016CTStudy: High-risk smokers can skip second CT screenMost patients at high risk for lung cancer don't need to be screened with CT annually if their initial scan is negative, according to a March 18 study in Lancet Oncology. A lot of money could be saved at little cost to patient health if heavy smokers skip a year of screening, researchers concluded.March 21, 2016CTCAD helps medical personnel triage CT lung cancer scansResearchers from Canada trained nonradiology personnel to use computer-aided detection (CAD) software to analyze CT lung screening scans and triage the ones that should be passed on to radiologists for review, according to a study published on Wednesday in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.March 16, 2016CTDose monitoring software cuts dose notifications by halfVIENNA - Dose awareness among radiology staff is key to maintaining optimal dose levels, concluded several presenters of dose monitoring studies at ECR 2016. Among them, a Swiss group found that running dose monitoring software in real-time and requiring technologists to report the results slashed the number of dose notifications due to technologist error.March 5, 2016Image ProcessingAlgorithm quantifies airway disease at CTVIENNA - A fully automated algorithm to evaluate airway disease produced good to excellent results from MDCT images, according to research from Germany presented this week at ECR 2016.March 5, 2016CTSleep duration not associated with heart diseaseVIENNA - Getting enough sleep may have profound effects on health, but sleep duration has no effect on the development of coronary artery disease, researchers reported on Friday at ECR 2016.March 4, 2016MRIStudy: Let patients choose breath-hold technique for MRIVIENNA - Patients gain important benefits when they are allowed to initiate their own breath-holds for MRI exams, and the exam quality doesn't suffer, according to research presented on Saturday at ECR 2016.March 4, 2016Image ProcessingAutomated coronary plaque analysis predicts future eventsVIENNA - Automated plaque analysis in coronary CT angiography can predict which patients with known ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction may go on to have a heart attack in the future, concluded a Wednesday presentation at ECR 2016.March 2, 2016Previous PagePage 20 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
