Scientific poster digital format offers potential to transform medium

CHICAGO - Displaying scientific posters in digital format at this year's RSNA meeting allows authors not only to convey facts, graphs, and photos, but also to incorporate some interactive functionality. Onsite digital displays offer huge potential to educate readers in ways that even the best developed paper poster cannot.

MGH's Render app finds images in PACS databases

With more than 8.8 million exams stored in the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) PACS archive, there's probably an image representing any medical condition and diagnostic interpretation imaginable. The challenge is to find it. Render, a radiology report and image search application, makes this possible.

Are referring physicians really listening?

Tuesday, December 1 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SSG10-04 | Room S402ABAre referring physicians responding to recommendations for additional imaging procedures by radiologists? Precise answers to this age-old question -- made more difficult by the reduction of direct radiologist and physician communication that resulted from conversion to RIS and PACS -- can now be obtained through the implementation of electronic medical records.

MRI outperforms ultrasound for fetuses with ventriculomegaly

Tuesday, December 1 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m.| SSJ10-03 | Room E351Harvard Medical School researchers have found that MRI adds useful information for fetuses with ventriculomegaly, but it does not predict outcome any better than atrial diameter, except for ventricular volume, in cases of mild, isolated ventriculomegaly.
