Although it first came on the scene with the introduction of CT scanning in the late 1970s, perceptions that 3D had limited clinical application kept it out of the limelight. Now it's taking center stage, creating images that radiologists could only dream of decades ago.November 2, 2003Digital X-RayCR versus DR -- what are the options?The vast majority of imaging exams rely on radiography, the last modality to go digital. However, x-ray systems are coming on the market with larger image receptors, higher resolution, and increased functionality. Increased competition and innovation should mean lower prices and workflow improvement for imaging facilities.July 30, 2003Nuclear MedicinePre-treatment with rhTSH reduces 131I retention in thyroidResearchers in the department of nuclear medicine at Johann W. Goethe University Hospital in Frankfurt examined 227 patients, 163 of whom were prepared for the therapy by thyroid hormone withdrawal and 64 of whom received recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone prior to therapy.July 21, 2003PACS/VNARIS/PACS integration -- what is it and what are its benefits?When the RIS, PACS, and modalities operate and function as a single system, users can reduce film and chemical costs, reduce film-storage space requirements, and increase productivity due to better utilization of radiology assets. Most important, such a system will significantly improve service to patients and referring physicians.June 5, 2003Previous PagePage 13 of 17Next PageTop StoriesPractice ManagementNew MR safety codes provide additional reimbursement for radiologistsIn a new column, Erin Stephens of Healthcare Administrative Partners reviews the new CPT code changes for MR safety services.CTCT, MRI reveal hidden brain changes linked to increased fall riskWomens ImagingImaging societies, experts react to U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Braidwood caseMRIDeep learning plus MRI predicts likelihood of postpartum hemorrhageWomens ImagingPersonal tragedies spur unity behind bill for diagnostic breast care
