Shalmali Pal[email protected]Nuclear MedicineBrain SPECT sheds new light on neuronal migration disordersTechnetium-99m ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) brain SPECT offers information on small areas of cortical dysplasia. Imaging the cerebral cortex with SPECT rather than MRI may prove useful in the detection of functionally focal abnormalities associated with neuronal migration disorders, according to Korean researchers.January 1, 2001NeuroradiologySPECT shows the gamut of brain abnormalities in ADHD patientsSPECT brain scans of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder typically show evidence of infraorbital prefrontal deactivation, says a researcher from Columbus Children’s Hospital in Ohio. These areas of the brain modulate executive functioning such as organization, impulse control, and judgment.December 28, 2000BreastTACT technique offers 3-D mammogramsA new breast imaging technique could offer 3-D mammograms as an alternative to conventional 2-D digital mammography. At last month's RSNA meeting, a researcher from Wake Forest University presented results from an emerging technology known as tuned-aperture computed tomography.December 27, 2000MRIImaging sheds light on amputee stump pain, both real and phantomApproximately 60,000 lower limb amputations are performed annually in the U.S., and many of these patients experience residual pain ranging from postoperative complications to phantom pain. But when clinical manifestations are nonspecific, diagnosing the various causes of stump pain can be difficult.December 19, 2000BreastBreast MRI leads to necessary tumor detection, not unnecessary mastectomyIn a study presented at last week's RSNA meeting, University of Pittsburgh researchers found that breast MRI did not result in an inordinate increase in the hospital's mastectomy rate.December 3, 2000RSNAPersistent marketing makes community CT center a financial successCHICAGO – In an effort to gain market share in CT services, the radiology department of a Boston-based academic hospital set up an off-site location and posted a profit of more than $2 million.November 29, 2000RSNAThe following is a list of featured scientific sessions at the RSNA conference on Thursday, November 30.The following presentations at the RSNA conference on Thursday, November 30 have been recommended by the AuntMinnie.com editorial advisory board and editorial staff.November 29, 2000RSNAHandheld US shows good bedside manner in imaging abdominal traumaCHICAGO - Handheld ultrasound scans had a sensitivity of 76% and a specificity of 97% for detection of free intraperitoneal fluid in patients with abdominal trauma, making it as good as cart-mounted US equipment but much more convenient, according to radiologists from Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University School of Medicine in Providence.November 28, 2000RSNAMicrocalcifications can’t escape CAD-enhanced mammographyCHICAGO - By incorporating computer-aided detection with standard mammography, 20% more cancers were pinpointed at the Women’s Diagnostic and Breast Health Center in Plano, TX, but the CAD system did not adversely effect recall rates or positive predictive value for biopsy.November 28, 2000RSNAThe following is a list of featured scientific sessions at the RSNA conference on Wednesday, November 29.The following presentations at the RSNA conference on Wednesday, November 29 have been recommended by the AuntMinnie.com editorial advisory board and editorial staff.November 28, 2000Previous PagePage 85 of 100Next PageTop StoriesMRICardiac MRI predicts risk of death in dilated cardiomyopathyA new strategy leverages the prognostic value of a late gadolinium enhancement and offers a quantitative versus qualitative approach.Womens ImagingBreast calcifications affect MRI cancer treatment response predictionDigital X-RayExperts propose generalist radiology AI frameworkPediatric RadiologyHPI: U.S. pediatric radiology workforce in declineSponsor ContentJoin Us!
