Eric Barnes[email protected]CTAdvanced iterative reconstruction enhances cranial CTThursday, December 5 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SSQ14-04 | Room N228Using a commercially available iterative reconstruction protocol both reduces noise and improves image quality in cranial CT images, according to researchers from University Medical Center Mannheim in Germany.November 12, 2013CTTumor shrinkage post-treatment confers excellent prognosis in kidneysThursday, December 5 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSQ10-02 | Room E450BShrinkage of 10% or more on CT post-treatment is highly predictive of good outcomes in renal cell carcinoma, according to a new study from Boston.November 12, 2013CTControversy session probes CT radiation and riskWednesday, December 4 | 4:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m. | SPSC42 | Room N228This session will take a new look at the data used to evaluate the association between radiation exposure and cancer risk. The participants will examine how those data have been used to quantify risk and assess the uncertainties inherent in those estimates.November 12, 2013CTSession probes 'dollars and sense' of lung cancer screeningWednesday, December 4 | 4:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m. | SPSC41 | Room E450AThe debate over CT lung cancer screening isn't just about safety, it's about dollars. This special controversy session takes on the issue with National Lung Screening Trial data, addressing what the information shows, along with the limitations and cost-effectiveness of screening.November 12, 2013CTIterative reconstruction plus new detector circuitry aids stent assessmentWednesday, December 4 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSM20-06 | Room S404ABCT with iterative reconstruction is racking up points throughout the body for high-resolution imaging at low doses, but improved detector technology also is an important part of the picture in boosting the quality of low-dose imaging, according to German researchers.November 12, 2013CTIterative reconstruction permits sub-mSv CT colonographyWednesday, December 4 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSK05-06 | Room E351Researchers dialed their CT radiation dose way down -- to 1 mSv per CT colonography exam -- and reconstructed the images using two different iterative reconstruction algorithms in this study from Korea.November 12, 2013CTCosts remain low in workup of extracolonic findingsWednesday, December 4 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSK05-01 | Room E351In this scientific session, Italian investigators will discuss their conclusion that it's not expensive to work up patients with potentially serious extracolonic findings, especially considering the benefits of finding serious conditions early.November 12, 2013CTBreast DECT shows potential to predict malignancyTuesday, December 3 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSG14-02 | Room S403BOne of the hardest jobs in diagnostic radiology is distinguishing benign from malignant findings. So a new project that harnesses dual-energy CT (DECT) to analyze water, lipid, and protein content of breast tissue and identify malignancies with high accuracy is welcome news.November 12, 2013CTHot topic session probes evolving concepts in lung cancerTuesday, December 3 | 7:15 a.m.-8:15 a.m. | SPSH30 | Room E351This Tuesday hot topic session on lung adenocarcinoma will examine the major changes in the management of CT findings brought about by the revised lung adenocarcinoma classification scheme.November 12, 2013CTReporting calcifications would aid preventive care in ACOsMonday, December 2 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSE06-03 | Room N227Detecting incidental coronary artery calcifications and reporting the information can identify patients with undiagnosed coronary artery disease who may benefit from medical therapy in accountable care organizations (ACOs), concluded a study team from Brigham and Women's Hospital.November 12, 2013Previous PagePage 59 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
