Actually, they do almost as well as CAD -- and sometimes better -- according to a study of Web-based "crowdsourcing" applied to polyp classification.February 19, 2012MRIMost, but not all, bullets are safe to scan with MRISAN FRANCISCO - Most patients with bullets in their bodies can be safely scanned with MRI, but not those harboring armor-piercing steel bullets, according to a study presented at this week's American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons meeting.February 8, 2012CTAs lung cancer evolves, so must radiologists' decisionsToday's lung cancer isn't your grandfather's squamous cell carcinoma. The new reality of lung cancer makes diagnosis and management more challenging than ever, and the radiologist must adapt accordingly, according to Dr. Jeffrey Galvin from the University of Maryland.February 6, 2012CTContrast face-off reveals little difference in renal functionA large comparison of two commonly used low-osmolality contrast agents failed to find significant differences in their effect on kidney function, according to a new study in the February issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.February 5, 2012CTStress dynamic myocardial perfusion CT a 'viable alternative'Dual-source CT can compete with MRI and SPECT in the performance of sophisticated cardiac scans that combine anatomic and functional imaging for a comprehensive assessment of patients with suspected coronary artery disease, say researchers from Spain and the U.S.February 2, 2012Cardiac ImagingAuntMinnie.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderJanuary 29, 2012Nuclear MedicineJACC: Questions remain about cardiac radiation's link to cancerThere are still no strong data linking the use of ionizing radiation in cardiac imaging to the development of cancer, though several studies have found that higher radiation exposure may increase the risk of developing cancer, concludes a paper published online January 30 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.January 29, 2012CTFollow-up protocol performs well in CT lung screeningResearchers reported good results with a protocol for working up patients with nodules found on CT lung screening, according to research in the February American Journal of Roentgenology. The algorithm produced low false-positive rates, and could make the establishment of large-scale CT screening programs more feasible.January 25, 2012Previous PagePage 90 of 258Next PageTop StoriesMRIMRI may help guide brachial plexus surgeryMRI-based volumetric analysis of paraspinal muscles can distinguish the severity of traumatic brachial plexus injury.AIShould hospitals pursue local domain LLM adaptation for radiology reports?Womens ImagingMRI model predicts breast tumor shrinkage patternsMRICheck for middle neck involvement for nasopharyngeal cancer prognosisMolecular ImagingPET links brain receptor to emotional numbing in PTSD
