Shalmali Pal[email protected]MRIMR study shows how whiplash can be perpetual pain in the neckMost whiplash cases resolve themselves, often without treatment. But in some instances, the pain and discomfort from whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders (WAD), can persist for long periods of time. Researchers in Australia and the U.S. relied on MRI to assess why some people experience chronic repercussions from whiplash.November 15, 2006Womens ImagingAuntMinnie.com Women's Imaging InsiderNovember 12, 2006UltrasoundI'm the describer! Ultrasound research lacks true weightModern-day ultrasound research relies too heavily on case descriptions and technical details to be of any real value to the medical community, according to Dr. Bruce Hillman, the chairman of the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN). Hillman, who is also a professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, suggests ways in which sonography investigators can make their work more relevant.November 12, 2006CTGender influences colon cancer diagnosis, outcome in Ohio womenIn Ohio, women with colon cancer presented with more advanced disease and had a worse prognosis than men, according to researchers in Cincinnati. In addition, female patients were older than male patients at the time of diagnosis and were more likely to have right-sided colon cancer, which is difficult to assess endoscopically, according to the study in the Journal of Women's Health.November 9, 2006CTSpinal Chance-type fractures require careful imaging analysisOf the 160,000 thoracolumbar spine fractures that occur annually, most happen in young males involved in car collisions. But the spectrum of imaging findings in these fractures may be difficult to detect, leading a group in Maryland to catalog the most common ones in the American Journal of Roentgenology.November 8, 2006MRIMRI, US far from idle for hand, wrist injuriesMRI and ultrasound are equally valuable for assessing such conditions as tenosynovitis, skier's thumb, and vascular flow, according to several recently released studies. Researchers in Switzerland discuss why and how they use MR imaging for the small vessels of the hand. Meanwhile, investigators in Italy and Belgium put ultrasound to the test in the wrist and thumb.November 5, 2006Musculoskeletal RadiologyAuntMinnie.com Orthopedic Imaging InsiderOctober 31, 2006MRIMRS results could steer first-episode psychotics to more aggressive therapyAmong mental health professionals it's accepted that patients with schizophrenia have abnormal brain morphology, especially in the cortical areas, that manifests at the time of the first psychotic episode. Australian researchers undertook a study to see if these structural brain changes relate to future clinical outcome.October 30, 2006Molecular ImagingFDG-PET predicts response, survival in postchemo breast cancer patientsWhile the survival rates for neoadjuvant therapy are on par with those of adjuvant treatment, the same can't be said for high-dose chemotherapy regimens. Two published papers from the U.K. and Australia looked for ways to single out responders to treatment. The first used FDG-PET to predict breast cancer's pathologic response to therapy, while the second used the modality for prognostic stratification after high-dose chemotherapy.October 29, 2006UltrasoundThe future of ultrasound: Used by many, understood by fewAt the recent Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound meeting in San Francisco, imaging and industry experts discussed the current state of sonography, the challenges the ultrasound community faces, and what's in store for the next 10 years.October 26, 2006Previous PagePage 17 of 100Next PageTop StoriesAIOpen-source DL model does well for identifying lung cancer riskAn open-source, deep-learning (DL) model called Sybil performs well when it comes to predicting lung cancer risk among heavy-smoking populations.Womens ImagingFewer Black women may be eligible for supplemental imaging for dense breastsMolecular ImagingPET/CT reliable for diagnosing fracture-related infectionsCTCT distinguishes between accidental and abusive head trauma in infantsWomens ImagingMammography has role in diagnosing pregnancy-associated breast cancer
