Does the successful NLST model still hold true?November 3, 2014CTCan the lumen area of stenosis predict coronary lesion significance?Sunday, November 30 | 10:45 a.m.-10:55 a.m. | SSA03-01 | Room S504ABThis study looked at the value of mean lumen area quantification by CT angiography to predict the hemodynamic significance of coronary stenosis at invasive angiography severe enough to require revascularization.November 3, 2014CTPhysics session on innovation in CTSunday, November 30 | 10:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m. | SSA19 | Room S403BNew CT techniques and instrumentation are the focus of a Sunday scientific session that kicks off with a 20-minute physics keynote talk by CT pioneer Willi Kalender, PhD, and continues with presentations of other new technological innovations in CT.November 3, 2014CTRoad to RSNA 2014: CT PreviewInnovation remains at the heart of every advance in CT imaging, and at RSNA 2014 it shows up at every step in the imaging process, from acquisition to reconstruction to analysis. There are discussions of conebeam CT, high-efficiency direct conversion detectors, and new, more efficient detector materials. This year you'll also find presentations on spectral and multienergy imaging, which continue to break ground in new applications.November 3, 2014CTACR hopes for good news from CMS on CT lung screeningThis November could be the most significant Lung Cancer Awareness Month in history, if Medicare approves full coverage of CT lung cancer screening for seniors 65 years and older, the American College of Radiology (ACR) said in a statement.November 2, 2014CTSoftware leverages CT scans to generate bone density dataFresh off the receipt of 510(k) clearance in August for its QCT Pro bone densitometry software, MindwaysCT is hoping to accomplish a goal that has long eluded healthcare professionals: increasing the dismal screening rate for osteoporosis by enabling the generation of bone density data from CT exams.November 2, 2014CTNew studies highlight promises, risks of lung cancer screeningClinicians need to learn more about the benefits of lung cancer screening with CT, biopsy their patients less, and not worry too much about the survival prospects of patients with minimally invasive adenocarcinomas, according to three studies presented on Thursday morning at the Multidisciplinary Symposium in Thoracic Oncology in Chicago.October 30, 2014CTJAMA IM editorials weigh in on lung cancer screeningWith Medicare on the cusp of a momentous decision about whether to pay for CT lung cancer screening, the issue is the focus of a pair of editorials published October 13 in JAMA Internal Medicine. Taking opposite sides, the articles one last time outline positions that have become solidified as the U.S. government weighs what could be one of the biggest public health initiatives in decades.October 12, 2014CTCT hits the road in Houston with stroke ambulance projectHouston doctors have launched a CT-equipped mobile stroke unit to start clot-busting treatment sooner after 911 is called. The University of Texas team also hopes to learn whether patients have better long-term outcomes when they're treated sooner rather than later.October 12, 2014Previous PagePage 45 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
