Better guidelines are needed to increase the modality's value in breast imaging, according to a presenter at the 2006 American Society of Breast Disease (ASBD) symposium in Las Vegas.May 25, 2006CT64-slice CT reliable as first-line test before coronary angiographyIn two of the first studies comparing generations of CT systems, 64-slice scanners appear to be the most accurate in detecting coronary vessel obstruction. The studies, presented at the 2006 American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Atlanta, found clinically significant differences among 12-, 16-, and 64-slice scanners.May 24, 2006Page 1 of 1Top StoriesUltrasoundCould AI help standardize MSK ultrasound?An AI algorithm showed success in providing accurate, real-time guidance for shoulder imaging.Practice ManagementResearchers to develop 'patient-centered' imaging assessment toolImaging InformaticsHill Day 2026 highlights weight of imaging data in biomedical researchWomens ImagingWomen's Imaging MinnieCast, Episode 5: Could CEM sub for MRI?Sponsor ContentModernizing Radiotherapy Workflows
