Eric Barnes[email protected]Digital X-RaySIR: 3D printer fashions tools for interventional radiologyAt this week's Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) meeting in Atlanta, physicians from Louisiana will discuss their use of 3D printing to construct drug-delivery tools to fight infection and even cancer in the interventional radiology suite.March 1, 2015CTFewer lung cancer patients meet CT lung screening criteriaIt's the ultimate irony: The success of public health efforts to get people to stop smoking is resulting in fewer individuals being eligible for CT lung cancer screening. In fact, some people are continuing to smoke just to be eligible for CT scans, according to new research in the Journal of the American Medical Association.February 26, 2015CTVertebral CAD aces detection of compression fracturesA new computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme can robustly detect vertebral compression fractures on spine CT images. The algorithm was developed by a team led by Dr. Ronald Summers, PhD, from the U.S. National Institutes of Health.February 25, 2015CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderFebruary 24, 2015AIAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderFebruary 22, 2015BreastApplying CAD twice to DBT improves performance at lower doseResearchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new double-barreled approach to computer-aided detection (CAD) that uses two separate CAD algorithms on digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) exams. They believe the technique enables a high level of sensitivity with lower radiation dose.February 22, 2015CTCT scanner in the ED cuts patient waiting timesSubstantial time can be saved by siting CT scanners in the emergency department (ED) rather than transporting patients to the radiology department hundreds of meters away, according to a new study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.February 19, 2015CTResults of European CT screening trial can be widely appliedIndividuals scanned with CT in the Nederlands-Leuvens Longkanker Screenings Onderzoek (NELSON) lung cancer screening trial had a similar risk of cancer as people who did not participate in the study, meaning the research can be generalized to a wider population.February 18, 2015Clinical NewsStudy: 1 in 4 Saudis headed for heart attackWithin the next 10 years, one-fourth of all adults in Saudi Arabia will have a heart attack, according to research presented at the Saudi Heart Association annual conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.February 12, 2015CTMobile stroke unit with CT scanner speeds care in ClevelandA mobile stroke treatment unit with a CT scanner and medical personnel aboard is dramatically cutting time-to-treatment decisions for Cleveland stroke patients. Clot-busting drugs were provided in nearly half the usual time, according to a study presented at this week's 2015 International Stroke Conference.February 11, 2015Previous PagePage 38 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
