Eric Barnes[email protected]CTRadiologists prefer optical colonoscopy over CTCCiting the certainty provided by conventional optical colonoscopy results, a majority of radiologists would choose it over CT colonography (CTC) for their own colorectal cancer screening, according to the results of a small survey reported in the February American Journal of Roentgenology.February 10, 2016CTSmokers ineligible for screening have same lung cancer rateLong-term smokers who are at high risk for lung cancer but don't qualify for CT screening under the strict guidelines of the National Lung Screening Trial nevertheless have the same rate of cancers as those who do qualify, concludes a study in the February Journal of the American College of Radiology.February 9, 2016CTArticle blasts LNT theory of radiation harmAn article in the American Journal of Clinical Oncology calls for the abandonment of the linear no-threshold (LNT) model, which holds that even low levels of radiation -- similar to those used in medical imaging -- can be harmful.February 4, 2016Advanced VisualizationVirtual reality goggles can make users queasyIn a stroke of virtual irony, people with the best 3D vision are the most likely to experience motion sickness when viewing virtual reality displays, according to new research in the journal Entertainment Computing.January 31, 2016CTExtracolonic findings on CTC are rare but often importantExtracolonic findings are relatively uncommon in CT colonography (CTC) screening, but the few that require follow-up tend to be highly significant to the patient's health, according to a new report in the American Journal of Roentgenology.January 31, 2016CTMore former smokers should get CT lung screeningLow-dose CT lung cancer screening should be expanded to include smokers who gave up the habit long ago, concludes a new study published in the February issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.January 27, 2016CTColorectal cancer patients diagnosed younger than screening ageMany colorectal cancer patients are being diagnosed when they are younger than 50 years old, the age at which most guidelines say screening should begin, according to a new analysis of U.S. patients in Cancer. The findings raise questions about how -- and whether -- screening should be addressed in younger adults.January 24, 2016Image ProcessingAlgorithm corrects contrast enhancement artifacts in dual-source CTCA new postprocessing technique for dual-source CT colonography (CTC) corrects for artifacts that mimic contrast enhancement created by fecal tagging materials. The algorithm boosts sensitivity and reduces false-positive detections significantly.January 24, 2016CTSocieties issue imaging guidelines for chest painNew guidelines for the appropriate use of diagnostic imaging for chest pain have been released by the American College of Cardiology, the American College of Radiology, and several other societies, according to a report published online January 22 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and the Journal of the American College of Radiology.January 21, 2016Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderJanuary 19, 2016Previous PagePage 22 of 258Next PageTop StoriesBreastDBT performance improves with patient ageDBT led to higher cancer detection rates and lower abnormal interpretation rates in older women in a study over 93,000 women.Digital X-RayAI fails to compensate for night-shift fatigue among residentsPractice ManagementTrainee-led informed consent talks with patients often insufficientCTHigh CAC scores nearly doubles 30-year mortality in young adultsSponsor ContentFREE webinar: find your imaging capacity
