Brian Casey[email protected]UltrasoundRoad to RSNA 2010: Ultrasound PreviewUltrasound has a reputation as a portable, relatively cheap technology that frequently serves as a gateway to more powerful modalities. At this year's RSNA show, look for presentations that emphasize ultrasound's emerging potential in more advanced imaging.November 11, 2010UltrasoundNonradiologists drive rapid growth in musculoskeletal ultrasoundThursday, December 2 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSQ12-02 | Room E451AOne of the great things about ultrasound is that its portability and simplicity make it easy to use compared to other imaging modalities. But that might not be so great from a healthcare utilization perspective, according to researchers from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, who found that nonradiologists are utilizing ultrasound at a dramatically higher rate than radiologists.November 11, 2010BreastHigh-res ultrasound with elastography beats specimen mammographyWednesday, December 1 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSK01-09 | Room E450AExamining excised breast tissue with high-resolution ultrasound elastography could help surgeons confirm tumor-free margins with greater accuracy than specimen mammography, according to this Wednesday morning presentation by German researchers.November 11, 2010UltrasoundSonoelastography helps identify aggressive DCIS lesionsWednesday, December 1 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSK01-08 | Room E450ADetermining which ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions could turn into aggressive cancers is one of breast imaging's biggest challenges. Fortunately, sonoelastography may be able to help, according to South Korean researchers.November 11, 2010UltrasoundBetter together in the breast: Sonoelastography and B-mode ultrasoundWednesday, December 1 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSK01-06 | Room E450ACombining sonoelastography with conventional B-mode ultrasound improves the differentiation of benign and malignant breast masses smaller than 1 cm, according to this presentation by Korean researchers.November 11, 2010UltrasoundElastography CAD application equals radiologist interpretationWednesday, December 1 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSK12-06 | Room N229In a positive early finding, South Korean researchers found that the use of a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm to generate ultrasound elasticity scores in thyroid scans worked as well as radiologists generating the scores on their own.November 11, 2010Image-Guided SurgeryUltrasound-guided dry needling reduces pain from plantar fasciitisTuesday, November 30 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ16-04 | Room E451BIn this Tuesday afternoon session, U.K. researchers will discuss the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided dry needling to relieve pain in plantar fasciitis cases that have been resistant to more conservative treatment methods.November 11, 2010UltrasoundAxillary node reporting needs standardized lexiconTuesday, November 30 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ02-03 | Room E450AThe establishment of the BI-RADS lexicon helped standardize reporting of breast lesions; in the same way, a similar lexicon is needed for reporting suspicious lymph nodes found on axillary ultrasound scans, according to this Tuesday afternoon presentation.November 11, 2010MRIMRI grows as go-to modality after equivocal ultrasoundTuesday, November 30 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSG08-03 | Room S402ABIf an abdominal ultrasound is equivocal, which imaging modality are radiologists turning to? Increasingly, the answer to that question is MRI, according to this Tuesday morning presentation by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.November 11, 2010Ultrasound3D/4D ultrasound helps clarify fetal abnormalitiesMonday, November 29 | 9:20 a.m.-9:30 a.m. | VP21-04 | Room N230Fetal ultrasound with a 3D/4D scanner can produce stunning images, but are they of clinical value? In this Monday morning presentation, Egyptian radiologists will discuss how the technology helped expecting parents understand the nature of anomalies in fetuses.November 11, 2010Previous PagePage 32 of 190Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalInterventional rads treat half of Medicare liver cancer patientsInterventional radiology accounted for 7.4% of total payments while performing 11.7% of work relative value units.Womens ImagingRural-urban breast cancer survival gap widens, ACS studies findNuclear MedicineLu-177 PNT2002 before SBRT extends disease control in prostate cancerMRIAI on par with radiologists for finding prostate cancer on MRIAIHPI: Evidence contradicts broad claims about AI, radiology workforce
