By using MR to image osseous overuse and myotendinous injuries, radiologists can make that judgment call.July 27, 2000Nuclear MedicinePET outperforms CT in detecting non-small-cell lung lesionsFDG-PET scanning outdoes CT in the detection of local and distant metastases in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, according to Dutch researchers reporting in the July 27 New England Journal of Medicine.July 25, 2000Nuclear MedicinePET scanning useful in neonatal heart patients, researchers sayCardiac PET scanning offers a reliable, noninvasive method for evaluating coronary abnormalities in very young patients, starting in the first month after birth. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles used FDG and ammonia-13 PET studies to assess myocardial viability in children with suspected heart defects, and tested PET's effectiveness against histologic findings.July 24, 2000MRIMRI algorithm envisions better look at the eyesBritish engineers have designed a post-processing algorithm that could give imaging specialists a better view of the orbital cavity and its surrounding structures with MRI.July 23, 2000InterventionalInterventionalists eye local drug-delivery systems for prevention of restenosisFor some time, interventional radiologists have been ill equipped in the ongoing battle against restenosis after revascularization procedures, according to a Canadian clinician.July 12, 2000MRITracking of pediatric sedation for MR imaging highlights concernsJuly 10, 2000Nuclear MedicineNuclear medicine researchers seek better prostate imaging with new gamma probeA transrectal imaging probe being developed by researchers at the University of Michigan promises both high sensitivity and resolution for early detection of prostate cancer, according to a presentation at the Society of Nuclear Medicine meeting in June.July 5, 2000Practice ManagementGene therapy: New frontier for interventional radiology?The common cold virus can fell even the hardiest person -- and it may have the same debilitating effect on cancer cells. If so, interventional radiologists may be the ideal specialists to infect patients with gene-altering viruses for their own good.July 4, 2000BreastFinnish team searches for better mammography CAD systemSAN FRANCISCO - A fully automated computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system that provides differential diagnosis for breast calcifications may prove superior to neural network-based CAD systems, but must face down several challenges before it can move past the conceptual phase, according to its Finnish designers.June 29, 2000Previous PagePage 91 of 100Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingFalse-positive DBT findings differ between AI, radiologistsFalse-positive DBT findings differed between AI and radiologists in population-based breast cancer screening.Practice ManagementWhat is the real impact of the 2025 MPFS Proposed Rule on radiology practices?Practice ManagementHPI: Radiology attrition varies by gender, specialty, and practice typeRadiation Oncology/TherapyASTRO: Short prostate SBRT reduces side effects, but not PSA levelsSponsor ContentDigital Innovations Shaping the Future of Radiology
