Eric Barnes[email protected]CTMDCT: Hopes high for CTC screening reimbursementSAN FRANCISCO - The talented but long-suffering colon cancer screening exam known as CT colonography (CTC) may finally be on the cusp of screening reimbursement, though nothing is certain, according to a Monday presentation at the annual International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT (MDCT).June 8, 2015CTMDCT: 3 things to do to standardize CT radiation doseSAN FRANCISCO - Even the largest and most unwieldy collection of CT scanners in a multisite institution can function as one by standardizing three simple components of their CT scanning protocols, according to a Sunday presentation at the annual International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT (MDCT).June 7, 2015CTAdding contrast to CT doubles DNA damage from radiationPatients who received contrast with their CT scans had more than twice as many double-strand breaks in their DNA from radiation exposure compared to those who had CT studies without contrast, concludes a new study in the June edition of Radiology. But whether this DNA damage translates into cancer risk is unclear.June 4, 2015AINew CAD app generates radiology reportsResearchers from Oregon have developed a novel computer-aided detection (CAD) application for radiology reports -- one that churns out differential diagnoses, accurately drawing correlations between imaging findings and potential disease states, according to a presentation at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine meeting.June 4, 2015AIAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderJune 2, 2015PACS/VNASIIM 2015: Most want photos to avoid patient ID errorsNATIONAL HARBOR, MD - Embedding patient photos into medical images has already been shown to prevent misidentification. Now, a new survey shows that the idea has broad support, although some radiologists have concerns about the practice, according to research presented on Saturday at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) meeting.May 31, 2015ISSIIM 2015: Data Fish catches image samples for researchNATIONAL HARBOR, MD - A new data-mining algorithm goes beyond the capabilities of most software applications to unearth subtle imaging findings in vast PACS databases, and could be beneficial for research applications, according to a presentation on Thursday at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) 2015 annual meeting.May 27, 2015Advanced VisualizationAutosegmentation algorithm tackles array of brain tumorsA new algorithm for automatically segmenting image data delivers fast and reproducible volumes of a wide variety of tumors, satisfying a significant unmet need in neuro-oncology, according to a new study in Academic Radiology. A panel of readers gave the algorithm high marks for how well it approximated manual data segmentation methods.May 21, 2015CTGenetic info improves smokers' CT screening complianceAdding genetic information to the cancer risk profiles of current and former smokers reclassifies their risk in more than 25% of cases, according to a study to be presented at the American Thoracic Society meeting in Denver.May 17, 2015CTAnalysis: CT lung cancer screening won't break the bankThe costs of population-wide CT lung cancer screening are likely to be reasonable and comparable to the costs of breast or colon cancer screening, according to an article in the May edition of Thoracic Surgery Clinics.May 14, 2015Previous PagePage 35 of 258Next PageTop StoriesMRIMRI, PET reveal distinct brain changes in loneliness and social isolationPrior studies frequently have used the terms interchangeably and applied measures designed for one construct when investigating the other.MRIPodcast: Hospital accreditation isn’t a safety net for MRIAISIIM-CAIMI program chairs talk medical imaging AI's evolutionCTLDCT predicts vertebral fracture risk in heavy smokersSponsor ContentFree Radiology Workflow Webinar
