Discourse between the two specialties hasn't always been positive. And while gastroenterologists have questioned the accuracy of the virtual exam, radiologists often note that the worst virtual colonoscopy results can be found in gastroenterologist-led studies.July 11, 2004CTMR colonography finds inflammatory bowel disease in kidsUnprepped MR colonography is a promising new tool for assessing inflammatory bowel diseases in children, offering a number of advantages over conventional colonoscopy, according to radiologists at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in Italy.July 11, 2004PACS/VNARadiologists beware: PACS could make you obsoleteMONTREAL - Now that PACS has eliminated radiologists’ central role as image gatekeepers, those who adopt information technology without also transforming themselves risk marginalization and even obsolescence, according to PACS pioneer Dr. Paul Chang.June 30, 2004UltrasoundUltrasound education goes globalMONTREAL - On Monday at the International Congress of Radiology, Dr. Barry Goldberg, director of diagnostic ultrasound at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, talked about the state of ultrasound education in the world, and the steps being taken to fulfill the vast need for medical imaging services.June 28, 2004CTStudies compare, optimize contrast in the abdomenMONTREAL - Getting the contrast agent, dose, and timing right for the imaging task at hand remains one of radiology’s most challenging jobs. In two studies presented on Sunday at the International Congress of Radiology, European researchers sought to answer some interesting contrast questions for abdominal applications in both CT and MRI.June 27, 2004Radiologic TechnologistU.K. radiographers find time, and history, on their sideMONTREAL - Bolstered by strong organizational skills and an acute demand for their services, radiographers in the U.K. are increasingly performing duties so medically advanced as to seem almost heretical by the workday standards of non-radiologists in the U.S. Even "radiographer," an English term that translates poorly into American usage, has a certain ring to it that "technologist," or even "radiologist assistant," clearly lacks.June 26, 2004BreastIn Canada, breast screening programs yield better outcomesMONTREAL - As in the rest of the world, breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer among Canadian women. But Canada has comprehensive breast cancer screening programs in each of its provinces and territories save for Nunavut. Could this enormous national screening and follow-up effort, begun in 1992, be part of the reason death rates are starting to fall?June 25, 2004CTCT, radiation, and risk: two viewsSAN FRANCISCO - As the potential for radiation overexposure rises with increasingly powerful multislice CT scanners, how much attention should radiologists be paying to the risks of radiation? Two radiologists addressed the issue in a point-counterpoint discussion at this week's International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT.June 23, 2004CTCT gains ground in urologyCT urography and cytoscopy are becoming the imaging team of choice for evaluating the urinary system, potentially replacing radiographic procedures such as intravenous or retrograde pyelography as often as 80% of the time, researchers report.June 17, 2004CTProne, supine, and the moveable colonic polypA new study in this month's Radiology suggests that polyps, especially when long or pedunculated, can be mobile, mimicking stool. The researchers, from New York University Medical Center in New York City, looked at the question and found that it actually happens pretty often.June 15, 2004Previous PagePage 219 of 258Next PageTop StoriesNuclear MedicineGenetic mutations linked to poor outcomes in Pluvicto patientsTP53, PTEN, and RB1 mutations may serve as prognostic biomarkers.Womens ImagingAI support leads to more cancers found on DBTCTPROMISE: Women face higher heart disease risk at lower plaque burdensMolecular ImagingPET predicts faster cognitive decline in women than menSponsor ContentHow Agentic AI Is Transforming Radiology Ops
