Eric Barnes[email protected]Advanced Visualization3D printers help build a better cranial nerveResearchers have created a high-resolution model of a 3D-printed brain and skull base from CT and MR images that details the cranial nerves in ways that outperform standard diagnostic images. The complex neuroanatomy of the nerves can be better understood and depicted by the use of highly customizable 3D-printed models, according to a report in the Journal of Digital Imaging.March 23, 2017Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderMarch 21, 2017Advanced Visualization3DHeals conference explores 3D printing and more3D printing is revolutionizing medicine -- and radiology with it. But what's the best way to learn about this emerging discipline? The 3DHeals International Conference, being held in San Francisco on April 20, will explore 3D printing in healthcare with an eye on virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence.March 21, 2017CTACC: CT detects blood clots that reduce valve motionCT detects small clots surrounding valve leaflets after transcatheter aortic valve replacement that are missed on echocardiography studies, concludes new research presented at the just-concluded American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Washington, DC. Reduced valve motion after the procedure may be a sign of the condition, the researchers said.March 19, 2017CTColor mapping boosts vessel interpretation in stroke CTVIENNA - Color mapping of cerebral vasculature in 4D CT angiography speeds interpretation and may improve accuracy in the detection of vessel occlusions in acute stroke patients, researchers said on Sunday at ECR 2017.March 5, 2017MRIMRI monitors fat for bariatric surgeryVIENNA - MRI and spectroscopy can accurately measure fat volumes in bariatric patients before and after surgery, according to the results of a German study presented at ECR 2017 on Saturday.March 4, 2017Image ProcessingChest CT with iterative recon achieves x-ray dosesVIENNA - Chest CT scans acquired at radiation doses as low as an x-ray showed lesions of all kinds conspicuously, using the latest dual-source CT scanner and iterative reconstruction. Individualized approaches tailored to specific lesion types cut the dose even further, researchers said on Friday at ECR 2017.March 3, 2017CTCAD beats readers for subsolid lung nodulesVIENNA - A computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme outperformed experienced human readers in detecting subsolid nodules as well as cancers in data from more than 2,000 lung cancer screening subjects, researchers reported on Thursday at ECR 2017.March 2, 2017CTLow-osmolar contrast tied to hypotensionVIENNA - Patients receiving low-osmolar (but not iso-osmolar) contrast agents under anesthesia are prone to systemic, self-limited periods of hypotension, researchers reported on Wednesday at ECR 2017.March 1, 2017Radiation Oncology/TherapyArtifact reduction algorithm boosts utility of 4D CTFour-dimensional CT images can improve radiation therapy planning in the upper thorax and abdomen, but motion artifacts often make the images nondiagnostic. New algorithms that provide deformable registration and respiratory motion simulation clear up the picture.February 26, 2017Previous PagePage 4 of 258Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputationsLower limb amputation is an increasingly common major complication of advanced peripheral arterial disease and diabetes mellitus.MRI3D MRI technique helps plan treatment for pediatric heart conditionsWomens ImagingCould AI scoring help with managing DCIS?CTClinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion typePractice ManagementRadiology coding update for 2026
