Eric Barnes[email protected]Advanced VisualizationSurgical planning 'cave' highlights advanced imagingResearchers at Houston Methodist Hospital are using a high-tech surgical planning room they call Plato's Cave to get the most out of their multimodality radiologic images. The Texas-sized cave helps surgeons prepare for their most challenging cases by revealing the anatomic relationships that are key to their decision-making.October 9, 2014Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderOctober 7, 2014CTPrototype FFR-CT software shows high accuracy vs. invasive FFRA software-based technique aimed at deriving CT-based blood flow data without invasive procedures showed similar accuracy to invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) for determining the significance of coronary stenosis, according to a new report in the American Journal of Cardiology.October 1, 2014CTJAMA editorials seek middle ground in Medicare payment for CT lung screeningTwo new editorials in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggest new ways to navigate the gulf between advocates and skeptics of CT lung cancer screening by placing limitations -- for now, at least -- on the screening of Medicare-aged smokers.September 29, 2014CTMDCT study ties aortic calcification to mortalityBoth total aortic calcium load and calcium density measured by MDCT are associated with increased mortality risk, according to a new study in the September 23 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.September 25, 2014CTSurvey: Patients unfazed by false positives on CTC examsIn a new survey, patients said they believe the benefits of having a malignancy detected on colon screening exams more than outweigh the drawbacks of a false positive, even if it would lead to unnecessary imaging or invasive follow-up, according to an article published in the October issue of Radiology.September 23, 2014CTBig spectral CT project launches in New ZealandYou've heard of dual-energy CT, but how about eight-energy CT? That's the goal of researchers in New Zealand, who this month received funding for a project to build a CT scanner capable of detecting eight different energies at once in scans of humans. They hope the new spectral scanner will offer functional imaging that is unprecedented for CT, with a lower radiation dose to boot.September 21, 2014CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderSeptember 17, 2014Nuclear MedicineASTRO: Imaging, radiation oncology increasingly work as oneSAN FRANCISCO - Imaging is central to the unprecedented wave of medical specialties converging on cancer care. But it will take more than what today's radiologists are trained for to better understand cancer's mysteries, according to a keynote address by Dr. Hedvig Hricak, PhD, on Monday at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting.September 15, 2014CTPerfusion CT's great potential remains unrealizedChallenges remain on the road to more precise assessment of tumor treatment response with CT perfusion, but the techniques are already robust and far more sensitive than the old methods based on tumor size. In this emerging field, tumor biology and treatment response combine to make CT an ideal modality for monitoring cancer treatment, according to Boston researchers.September 14, 2014Previous PagePage 46 of 258Next PageTop StoriesNuclear MedicineCPDC launches Cadena Research for radiopharmaceutical developmentThe CPDC has launched Cadena Research, a new preclinical CRO offering support for early-stage radiopharmaceuticals.Radiation Oncology/TherapyASTRO: Patient navigation key to mitigating RT treatment disparitiesRadiation Oncology/TherapyASTRO: Radiotherapy offers opportunities beyond cancer treatmentMolecular ImagingCase report: Pluvicto as a first-line treatment in late-stage prostate cancerSponsor ContentDigital Innovations Shaping the Future of Radiology
