CT reveals complex function of bird beaks
An innovative CT technique has revealed that bird beaks function as complex radiators, cooling systems, and humidifiers all in one, and they vary according to habitat, according to new research published in ornithology journal The Auk: Ornithological Advances.

Advanced visualization and the cinematic 3D rendering prototype
Thursday, December 1 | All day | PH125-ED-X | Lakeside, PH CommunityDespite continuous evolution in postprocessing techniques, most 3D visualization and planning still occur on a very basic visual level. This all-day educational event covers the basics of maximum intensity projections and volume rendering techniques, and it goes on to discuss the more visually rich world of cinematic rendering of 3D volumes.

4D CT brain segmentation offers subtle clues in stroke
Wednesday, November 30 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSK15-01 | Room N229Dutch researchers have successfully segmented gray and white matter in the brain using 4D CT. The technique provides a subtle assessment of the health of the brain for stroke treatment, and it could be useful in further segmentation and anatomic labeling, according to the group.

3D heart models take on cardiac ablation
Tuesday, November 29 | 9:50 a.m.-10:00 a.m. | RC303-06 | Room S504ABHoping to build a better interventional technique for doctors treating ventricular tachycardia with ablation guided by electroanatomic mapping (EAM), Italian researchers used CT to create a 3D heart model for each patient, overlaying EAM on the CT images to guide ablation. Hint: It works better than EAM alone.
