Frances Rylands-Monk[email protected]BreastBreast ultrasound helps mammography find more cancerAdding ultrasound to mammography screening detects more early invasive breast cancer and probably reduces mortality, according to a 4 November study in the journal Lancet. The Japanese trial is thought to be the first of its kind in a large, randomized, multicenter population with a focus on younger, average-risk women.November 4, 2015CTHow CT unraveled curiosities of King TutAncient Egypt was a great civilization, but what made it great? Investigations on the mummies, including the famous case of Tutankhamun, have provided some answers. In an exclusive interview, Dr. Ashraf Selim speaks about his fascinating work and how CT shed new light on King Tut.October 13, 2015BreastBMJ: Dutch data show breast cancer screening worksThe Dutch example of breast cancer screening works, and mammography screening is a clear way of detecting cancer early, along with increased breast cancer awareness, according to the authors of a new study published in BMJ.October 12, 2015CTRadiation dose issues climb agenda in Middle EastNew research from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, reveals how the region is targeting ever-optimized dosage in imaging and how dose awareness is becoming of greater importance within the radiological community.April 21, 2015CTACC: CCTA sharpens diagnosis, targets interventionMore accurate diagnosis using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in chest-pain patients will reduce the risk of heart attack and hone treatment, according to a new study from Scotland that was presented at this week's American College of Cardiology (ACC) annual meeting in San Diego. Researchers found that patients with suspected angina benefited from clearer results after undergoing CCTA.March 16, 20152015Heavy investments enable Turkey to shineTurkey is now leading the way in several areas of radiology. In Sunday's host session, "Turkey welcomes ECR," key figures from the country's community of radiologists provided delegates with a snapshot of their work, notably functional brain MRI, percutaneous treatment of liver hydatid cysts, and advanced hepatopancreaticobiliary imaging.March 7, 2015MRIEurope plays catch-up on MRI safetyWhile having an MRI safety officer at each imaging site is strongly recommended, few European centers have implemented this in practice. The situation looks set to change with the emergence of formal national and international guidelines that seek to minimize the risks for patients and professionals, according to a refresher course on Saturday at ECR 2015.March 6, 2015CTCAD becomes a spell-check for small polypsComputer-aided detection (CAD) can only enhance performance if used correctly, and it does not reduce the need for training, according to a presentation on Friday at ECR 2015 in Vienna. CAD for colonography has shown promise, but radiologists need to understand sensitivity and specificity issues, as well as when CAD should be deployed.March 5, 2015Nuclear MedicineHybrid techniques make giant strides in clinical practiceAs hybrid imaging gains more ground in cardiology, neurology, and oncology, the debate over PET/MRI's current and potential role in routine practice still rages. The central question remains: Is it an expensive new toy with no clinical applications on the horizon, or is it a truly revolutionary technique?March 3, 2015ISStandardization moves streamline Europe's reporting structuresAdvances in data mining from radiological cases can be made only if the global imaging community adopts lexicon and formatting standards for their reports, and radiologists must ask their IT providers for reporting tools.March 3, 2015Previous PagePage 7 of 11Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayOpportunistic use of chest x-rays can help screen for osteoporosisChest x-rays obtained for other indications could be used to identify patients with signs of bone demineralization.AIRadiology drives July FDA AI-enabled medical device updateWomens ImagingRural women more prone to advanced-stage breast cancerDigital X-RayPeripheral vision training improves lesion detectionCTDoes adding plaque burden grade improve CAD-RADS scoring on CTA?
