Eric Barnes[email protected]CTCT lung cancer screening evolves at major academic centersMonday, November 30 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | RC201-11 | Room S406BMajor changes have come to CT lung cancer screening in the past two years, and the results of a survey of major academic centers highlights both modest increases in screening volumes and a move away from self-pay screening.November 2, 2015CTHow many CT lung cancer screening patients return after the 1st scan?Monday, November 30, 2015 |10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | RC201-09 | S406B In this study, researchers assessed patient compliance with follow-up recommendations in a CT lung cancer screening program.November 2, 2015CTTin filters and lung nodule CT at x-ray exposure levels: Accurate?Thursday, December 3 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSQ19-05 | Room S403BHow well does CT equipped with a tin filter measure lung nodule volumes at radiation dose levels similar to those of a chest x-ray? Pretty well, most of the time, Mayo Clinic researchers will report in this Thursday presentation.November 2, 2015CTNoncontrast head CT takes on small hyperdensitiesWednesday, December 2 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSM07-06 | Room S403BIn the emergency room, noncontrast head CT scans often reveal hyperdensities that could represent small parenchymal hemorrhages or calcifications. Much of the time, but not always, the two can be differentiated by morphology and location. But is the standard practice of waiting six hours to repeat the head CT scan to assess stability the best way to solve the remaining mysteries?November 2, 2015CTMonoenergetic images vs. calcium blooming in CCTAWednesday, December 2 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSK04-09 | Room S504ABCalcium blooming in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images makes calcium appear larger than its actual size, exaggerating the extent of luminal stenosis and producing false-positive tests, which can lead to inappropriate clinical management, according to this study to be presented on Wednesday.November 2, 2015CTFor ischemic stroke, CT perfusion boosts detection in posterior circulationTuesday, December 1 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSJ18-02 | Room N226There is still no consensus about the best way to image the posterior circulation in the setting of ischemic stroke, but researchers in Münster, Germany, have found significant value in CT perfusion.November 2, 2015CTRadiology's future combines tech innovation and productivity toolsTuesday, December 1 | 1:30 p.m.-2:45 p.m. | PS30C | Arie Crown TheaterWhat does the future hold for radiology? Get ready for a cascade of sometimes conflicting trends -- all leading toward a more complex and better diagnosed future, according to a Tuesday plenary talk by radiology luminary Dr. James Thrall.November 2, 2015CTDECT technique separates benign from malignant lung nodulesTuesday, December 1 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSG03-09 | Room S404CDWhile CT is good at detecting lung nodules, PET/CT is better at determining whether they are malignant or benign. Researchers from Kobe, Japan, wanted to see if their CT technique, known as dual-point contrast-enhanced dual-energy CT (DECT), could rival PET/CT for predicting malignancy.November 2, 2015CTPhase-contrast CT technique reveals hidden image informationTuesday, December 1 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSG14-08 | Room S403BNew developments in phase-contrast CT imaging have some investigators intrigued about the potential of x-ray-based techniques to reveal previously unseen information. Researchers from Emory University will share their thoughts in this Tuesday session.November 2, 2015CTWhat's the minimum CT dose for hepatic metastasis detection?Tuesday, December 1 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSG05-06 | Room E352How low can the CT radiation dose go for hepatic metastasis detection when using advanced iterative reconstruction? Investigators from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, wanted to see how low advanced iterative reconstruction would take them.November 2, 2015Previous PagePage 28 of 258Next PageTop StoriesCTLDCT predicts vertebral fracture risk in heavy smokersParticipants were heavy smokers aged 55 to 74 years old with at least 30 pack-years of smoking history.Digital X-RayChatGPT-5 misses half of distal radius fractures on x-raysAISIIM-CAIMI: AI triaging for ICH leads to faster turnaround timesMRISIIM-CAIMI: 20% of advanced imaging prior auth denials get overturnedSponsor ContentFREE webinar: find your imaging capacity
