Road to RSNA 2012: Healthcare Informatics Preview
Once again, this is a year focused on healthcare IT and imaging informatics at the 2012 RSNA conference. It would be an understatement to say that there are a staggering number of courses, scientific sessions, educational exhibits, and poster presentations -- even the subject of the Eugene P. Pendergrass New Horizons Lectures has an informatics slant.

AIUM forum touts 'ultrasound first' to boost use of modality
Ultrasound is an underutilized diagnostic imaging exam, according to the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), which organized a forum to promote the concept of performing "ultrasound first" when clinically indicated. But what will it take to make this happen?

Speech recognition systems could detect signs of user stress
Many radiologists feel that speech recognition dictation systems -- one of the cornerstones of digital efficiency -- were thrust upon them. While the systems had the potential to dramatically reduce radiology report turnaround time and operating costs, their use has been burdensome to many radiologists by decreasing their productivity.

ASTRO: SBRT for prostate cancer sustains cancer-free survival
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) yields excellent cancer-free survival rates for intermediate-risk, organ-confined prostate cancer patients and results in few long-term rectal side effects, according to research presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) annual meeting.

ASTRO: Rad therapy helps older women with breast cancer survive
Older women with early-stage, low-risk breast cancer who were treated with radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery showed higher survival rates than those who did not have radiation therapy, a California study found. Results were presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting.

ASTRO: APBI with EBRT may not be best for breast cosmesis
Breast cancer patients who undergo breast-conserving surgery and then get accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) with 3D external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) have worse cosmetic outcomes than those who receive whole-breast irradiation, concluded research presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting.

ASTRO: Prostate screening has edge for high-risk patients
Annual prostate-specific antigen screening yields a slightly greater quality-adjusted life expectancy among patients who have a high risk of developing metastatic disease compared to unscreened patients, according to research presented on Tuesday at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) annual meeting.
