But do some COPD phenotypes carry a greater risk of malignancy?November 2, 2015CTRoad to RSNA 2015: CT PreviewAs RSNA 2015 turns a sprightly 101 this year, CT continues to pull tricks out of what always seems like its bottomless hat. In 2015, the all-purpose modality is doing its old tricks better than ever, and it's pulling off some new ones that hadn't seen much play before. Highlights this year include x-ray phase-contrast CT, an investigational photon-counting CT scanner, lung cancer screening, and new and improved iterative reconstruction techniques.November 2, 2015CTCT lung cancer screening puts patients on edgeCT lung cancer screening is associated with high distress levels in nearly half of patients who are screened, according to a study to be discussed on October 28 during the Chest 2015 annual meeting in Montreal.October 25, 2015CTHybrid lung CAD scheme improves accuracyA hybrid computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm for lung nodules showed high sensitivity with very few false positives, according to new research in Medical Physics.October 22, 2015CTJNCI: CT screening beneficial in shorter-term smokersData from a large study show that CT lung cancer screening may benefit even those with fewer than 30 pack-years of smoking history, according to an October 19 article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The findings could potentially open up screening to millions more smokers, especially women and minorities.October 19, 2015Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderOctober 6, 2015CTStudy: Skip CT in most blunt emergency trauma casesDoctors can safely forego CT imaging in more than one-third of emergency blunt trauma cases by using clinical criteria to assess patients rather than automatically sending them to imaging, according to a study of more than 11,000 patients that was published October 6 in PLOS Medicine.October 6, 2015CTUSPSTF foils CT colonography screening againIn a draft recommendation released today, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) appears to have thrown CT colonography under the bus again, excluding the CT-based exam from its list of recommended colorectal cancer screening tests.October 5, 2015Ultrasound3D ultrasound-based hip segmentation is fast, accurateA new automated hip segmentation algorithm that uses 3D ultrasound data produced accurate segmentations of the acetabulum in infant hips, according to a study in the International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery. The technique could improve the diagnosis of infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip.October 5, 2015Previous PagePage 30 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
