Brian Casey[email protected]Digital X-RayDigital tomosynthesis IDs chest lesions, avoids need for CTWednesday, November 28 | 5:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m. | LL-CHS-WE1D | Lakeside Learning CenterIn this poster presentation, Italian researchers will describe how they use digital tomosynthesis to characterize suspicious chest lesions, avoiding the use of CT and sparing patients radiation dose.November 12, 2012Image ProcessingBone suppression DR improves lung nodule detectionWednesday, November 28 | 5:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. | LL-CHS-WE1C | Lakeside Learning CenterDutch researchers will demonstrate in this poster presentation how the use of bone suppression image processing can improve radiologist performance in detecting solitary pulmonary nodules with digital radiography (DR).November 12, 2012BreastDQE can be measured in the clinical environmentWednesday, November 28 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSM18-05 | Room S403AIn this presentation, representatives from a Canadian start-up firm will demonstrate their tool for measuring detective quantum efficiency (DQE) of digital x-ray systems in the clinical environment.November 12, 2012Digital X-RayPortable wireless DR beats CR for some clinical tasksWednesday, November 28 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSK03-06 | Room S404CDThe incorporation of wireless digital radiography (DR) detectors into portable x-ray systems has brought major workflow advantages to radiology departments compared to computed radiography (CR). But does wireless portable DR also have an image quality advantage?November 12, 2012Digital X-RayRadiation dose can be reduced for neonatal chest radiographyTuesday, November 27 | 3:15 p.m.-3:25 p.m. | VSPD32-02 | Room S102ABIn this scientific presentation, researchers from Carestream Health will share how task-specific techniques can be employed that would promote dose reduction in pediatric imaging in digital radiography (DR) without negatively influencing diagnostic image quality.November 12, 2012Digital X-RayLower DR tube voltage reduces dose while preserving image contrastMonday, November 26 | 5:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m. | LL-PHS-MO1D | Lakeside Learning CenterIn this Monday evening poster presentation, researchers from Philips Healthcare will discuss their use of a lower tube voltage to reduce dose in digital radiography (DR) while maintaining a high contrast-to-noise ratio.November 12, 2012CTDR, 320-detector-row CT cut dose in pediatric studiesMonday, November 26 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-PDS-MO3A | Lakeside Learning CenterIn this lunchtime poster presentation, researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences will demonstrate the results of their investigation into lower radiation doses possible for pediatric imaging with two technologies, digital radiography (DR) and 320-detector-row CT.November 12, 2012Digital X-RayTechnique estimates pediatric dose for DR studiesMonday, November 26 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-PDS-MO2A | Lakeside Learning CenterHeightened concern over radiation dose has led to the development of new methods for calculating and reporting dose delivered to patients during imaging exams. Most of the attention has focused on CT -- but what about digital radiography (DR)?November 12, 2012CTDigital tomosynthesis a good option for paranasal sinusitisMonday, November 26 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSC14-06 | Room S403AThe clinical applications for digital tomosynthesis have been growing steadily, and Japanese researchers believe that sinus imaging should be added to the list.November 12, 2012CTDigital tomosynthesis may be alternative to KUB urolithiasisMonday, November 26 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSC14-02 | Room S403ADigital tomosynthesis could be a better alternative than conventional kidney, ureter, and bladder (KUB) radiography or unenhanced CT for detecting urinary stones, according to this presentation by Chinese researchers.November 12, 2012Previous PagePage 3 of 190Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingPET/CT scans show lung damage in stone workersThe metabolic activities occurring in the lungs of these patients have been unknown.CTSCCT: Study explores diagnostic accuracy of CCTACTSCCT: AI predicts coronary artery calcium scores from chest x-raysCTSCCT: CCTA model shows plaque volume changes in chest pain patientsSponsor ContentYou think ahead.
