Eric Barnes[email protected]BreastStudy finds differences in how breast density is measuredA study of nearly 2,000 breast cancer patients who underwent screening mammography found significant differences between three different methods of measuring breast density -- though breast cancer risk predictions were similar among the techniques, concludes a report in Radiology.January 19, 2016CTStudy finds CT use has doubled for minor injuriesThe use of CT for minor injuries has doubled in the past decade, according to a study of more than 8.5 million California patients in the Journal of Surgical Research. The increase may indicate that it's time to redouble efforts to ensure that radiation is used appropriately.January 19, 2016Advanced VisualizationCardboard VR viewer helps docs see infant's heart defectsFlorida doctors were able to plan a successful surgical procedure on an infant with severe heart defects, using cardiac CT images visualized with a virtual reality (VR) image viewer made from cardboard.January 17, 2016CTEmphysema-related COPD on CT signals higher malignancy riskIndividuals who have certain types of emphysema may also be at higher risk of cancer if they have suspicious nodules found on CT lung cancer screening scans, according to new research. The findings could help researchers better determine which suspicious nodules warrant further workup.January 17, 2016CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderJanuary 12, 2016Nuclear MedicineStudy finds U.S. nuclear cardiology doses are too highRadiation doses for myocardial perfusion imaging exams in the U.S. are significantly higher than those in the rest of the world. Few U.S. sites adhere to best practices for dose reduction, and the U.S. fee-for-service model also contributes to the disparity, according to articles published online December 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine.January 4, 2016CTCTC excels in matchup with FIT, colonoscopyIn the first randomized trial to pit CT colonography (CTC) against the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and conventional optical colonoscopy, FIT yielded a higher participation rate than CTC but found fewer cancers and advanced lesions, according to results published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.December 29, 2015Image ProcessingMotion correction improves CT lung tumor assessmentPerfusion CT is emerging as a useful way to assess the treatment of lung cancer patients, but respiratory motion can cause problems with images. Fortunately, researchers from California and Pennsylvania have discovered a motion correction algorithm that can help.December 16, 20152015IHS Technology reflects on RSNA 2015 trendsEfficiency, greater patient throughput, and lower cost of ownership were three important and interconnected trends from the recent RSNA 2015 show in Chicago, according to a report by market research and consulting firm IHS Technology.December 14, 2015Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderDecember 13, 2015Previous PagePage 23 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
