Rob Skelding[email protected]2010Interpretation errors top clinical negligence claims in U.K.VIENNA - Compared with the U.S., the U.K. is perhaps not seen as a strongly litigious country, but a new analysis of clinical negligence claims in radiology presented at the European Congress of Radiology reveals a clear rise in recent years in the number and financial burden of malpractice suits.March 7, 20102010Expanding role of radiographers brings new challengesVIENNA - New insurance laws, a keener recognition of patients' values, and an expanding list of professional duties amplify the pressure on radiographers to implement evidence-based practice. Early research findings from three Northern European pilot studies were discussed at the European Congress of Radiology.March 6, 20102010New European regs spotlight need for clinical radiology auditsVIENNA - The term "audit" may strike fear into the hearts of even the finest organized radiology departments. But if performed well, clinical audits can be an effective way to support -- and even promote -- your radiology services, delegates heard Saturday at the European Congress of Radiology.March 5, 2010UltrasoundAutomated breast US improves breast cancer detectionVIENNA - Automated breast ultrasound promises improved cancer detection when combined with standard digital mammography, but training is required for radiologists to realize its full clinical potential, according to results from a pair of new studies presented Friday at the European Congress of Radiology.March 4, 2010Digital X-RayRadiation exposure increases risk of breast cancerVIENNA - A Dutch study presented at the European Congress of Radiology this week has raised questions over the relationship between the risk of breast cancer in high-risk women and their exposure to radiation from a young age.March 3, 2010CTHow I do it: CT perfusion in functional tumor imagingMany hospitals make the decision to acquire CT perfusion technology and software primarily for stroke diagnosis; however, the technique can also yield valuable results in functional tumor imaging. That's according to Dr. Ken Miles, who explains how to optimize CT perfusion protocols to produce accurate and consistent tumor imaging results.August 6, 2009Digital X-RayCAD may improve novice performance in pulmonary CTACT angiography (CTA) is an effective method for detecting pulmonary emboli, yet inexperienced readers may frequently miss filling defects when working alone or under pressure. New research suggests that computer-aided detection (CAD) software could serve as a valuable surrogate second reader.March 25, 2009Breast7-tesla breast MRI shows advantages in first testsThe promise of a diagnostic advantage in mammography using powerful 7-tesla MRI was underlined by preliminary results presented at the European Congress of Radiology. Although image quality was improved compared to 1.5-tesla MRI, using such a powerful system might be problematic due to current patient safety rules.March 12, 2009MRIECR studies confirm impact of breast MRI on patient outcomesVIENNA - With tissue-conservation procedures among the most common surgical treatments for breast cancer, imaging techniques that accurately probe the depths of disease status surely prove invaluable. Or do they? A pair of presentations from this week's European Congress of Radiology (ECR) sheds some light on the matter.March 9, 2009CTCT protocols reduce risk for pulmonary embolismVIENNA - New research presented at the 2009 European Congress of Radiology examines whether reduced-energy CT and low-dose contrast media provide safer solutions without compromising pulmonary embolism image quality.March 8, 2009Page 1 of 3Next PageTop StoriesImaging InformaticsSIIM: Nina Kottler speaks on improving efficiency with AINina Kottler, MD, speaks with AuntMinnie about how radiologists are using AI to improve workflow efficiency.AISIIM: Brad Erickson talks research challenges, retirementAISIIM: Operational consideration needed for AI in radiation oncologyUltrasoundUltrasound MinnieCast, Episode 10: How to apply POCUS oversight in your hospitalSponsor ContentWebinar: AI for CT & PET/CT Imaging
