Researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are finalizing a longstanding project to build a user-friendly software program that converts CT dose index volume scanner readouts into accurate organ dose estimates.December 2, 2015CTCoronary CTA yields prognostic boost over CACCHICAGO - In asymptomatic individuals at intermediate risk of coronary artery disease, coronary CT angiography (CCTA) significantly outperformed coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring for predicting cardiac events over 10 years, according to a Tuesday presentation at RSNA 2015. Is it time to think about replacing CAC with CCTA in people at intermediate risk?December 1, 2015CTResearchers measure fetal CT dose with SSDECHICAGO - A new fetal dose-measurement technique ties CT dose index volume scanner readouts to size-specific dose estimates (SSDEs), opening a door to greater accuracy in fetal dose measurement, according to a presentation at the 2015 RSNA meeting.November 29, 2015CTNewly detected nodules reveal higher lung cancer riskCHICAGO - Nodules detected with CT at interim lung cancer screening carry more than twice the risk of nodules present at the first scan, according to new research presented at this week's RSNA 2015 meeting.November 28, 2015CTNonsolid lung nodules carry greater cancer risk in womenFor lung nodules detected on CT, certain types can pose a higher risk of cancer for women than men, according to a study to be presented at the upcoming RSNA 2015 meeting in Chicago. The results indicate that radiologists may want to consider gender when interpreting CT lung screening scans.November 23, 2015BreastFDA says film printing optional for mammographyIn a guidance to mammography facilities, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that printing breast images to hard-copy film is no longer necessary and can be performed at the discretion of individual centers.November 22, 2015Advanced Visualization3D images aid selection of heart transplant donorsResearchers in Arizona are building a virtual library of 3D hearts in a bid to improve the matching process between heart transplant donors and recipients, and to make the best use of the perpetually tight supply of donor organs.November 18, 2015CTAutomated tube current selection cuts CT radiation doseAutomated tube current selection reduced dose significantly in CT scans acquired at dozens of centers worldwide, according to the results of a large international study published in Radiology.November 15, 2015Molecular ImagingBone mets no match for hybrid 3D hot-spot analysis of PET/CTWednesday, December 2 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m.| NM223-SD-WEB11 | Room S503ABA technique that identifies bone metastasis "hot spots" automatically from PET/CT could vastly improve radiologists' ability to diagnose and follow-up patients with bone cancer.November 11, 2015Previous PagePage 24 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
