Eric Barnes[email protected]UltrasoundGroup creates 3D printed heart with CT, echo dataIn what they are calling a major advance, researchers from Michigan have created a 3D model of a human heart using data from two separate cardiac imaging techniques: CT and echocardiography. They believe that such hybrid 3D models will be more accurate than those created from just one imaging modality.June 28, 2015CTCT lung CAD may require adjustment from radiologistsComputer-aided detection (CAD) for CT lung exams will be essential in the coming era of population-based lung cancer screening. But radiologists may have to change their way of reading studies to reap its benefits, according to a recent talk by Dr. Geoffrey Rubin from Duke University.June 25, 2015CTNonsolid nodules can be safely managed with CTPatients with nonsolid lung nodules can be safely managed noninvasively using low-dose CT, according to an analysis published online June 23 in Radiology of more than 57,000 lung cancer screening patients.June 22, 2015CTLung disease goes undiagnosed in many smokersMore than half of long-term smokers who pass lung-function tests are actually living with lung disease that remains undiagnosed, according to a study published online Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.June 21, 2015CTAre imaging sites ready for new Joint Commission rules?On July 1, a new era of intense scrutiny and documentation will arrive for CT and other imaging modalities, thanks to new Joint Commission accreditation requirements that become effective on that date. Unfortunately, most radiology departments aren't remotely ready to fulfill the requirements, according to a talk at the International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT.June 21, 2015Image-Guided SurgeryOCT tool offers fast intraoperative brain tumor imagingA new brain tumor imaging technique based on optical coherence tomography (OTC) may offers surgeons a highly accurate way to visualize -- and ultimately resect -- malignant tumors during surgery, according to a report from Johns Hopkins University.June 18, 2015CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderJune 16, 2015CTUSPSTF ponders addition of new heart risk factorsThe U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has drafted a research plan for assessing cardiovascular disease risk, and it is accepting public comments on the idea of adding nontraditional measures such as coronary artery calcium into standard cardiovascular risk factor assessment for asymptomatic individuals.June 11, 2015CTMDCT: In CT lung cancer screening, don't forget the heartSAN FRANCISCO - Radiologists who screen smokers for lung cancer with CT should remember to look at the heart as an important predictor of mortality in its own right, according to a Tuesday talk at the International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT (MDCT).June 10, 2015Nuclear MedicineAnnals: Few differences in CCTA vs. SPECT MPIA study comparing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in chest pain patients found that CT's radiation dose was lower and that it yielded fewer unpleasant experiences among patients, according to results published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.June 10, 2015Previous PagePage 34 of 258Next PageTop StoriesRadiation Oncology/TherapyASTRO: Radiotherapy offers opportunities beyond cancer treatmentMolecular ImagingCase report: Pluvicto as a first-line treatment in late-stage prostate cancerMRINew brain MRI imaging technique could help identify Alzheimer'sRadiology EducationScholarly activity low among residency program directorsSponsor ContentDigital Innovations Shaping the Future of Radiology
![Images depict axial MRI scans in a 50-year-old premenopausal female patient with biopsy-proven 12-mm invasive lobular cancer in the lower outer quadrant of the left breast. Upper images are subtracted dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI scans from the first and second postcontrast acquisitions. Lower images are ultrafast MRI scans obtained within 24 hours after the DCE study (four consecutive subtracted dynamic frames from time points [T] 6–9). There is marked background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on the DCE MRI scans. Thus, the known cancer (arrow) is barely visible; it exhibits only slightly stronger enhancement than the normal fibroglandular tissue, which results in low conspicuity. At ultrafast MRI there is less BPE, and still the cancer is barely visible because it starts to enhance simultaneously with the BPE. The conspicuity of the cancer is even reduced compared with the DCE series. Both of the readers missed this cancer on both the DCE and ultrafast MRI scans.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2025/05/2025-05-06-rsna-ultrafast-dce-mri-breast.Gzvq76udFr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
