3D printers help build a better cranial nerve
Researchers 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.

3DHeals conference explores 3D printing and more
3D 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.

ACC: CT detects blood clots that reduce valve motion
CT 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.

Chest CT with iterative recon achieves x-ray doses
VIENNA - 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.

Low-osmolar contrast tied to hypotension
VIENNA - 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.

Artifact reduction algorithm boosts utility of 4D CT
Four-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.
