Rebekah Moan[email protected]BreastNew technology could become next primary breast cancer screenerVIENNA - Multimodal tomography, a 3D nonionizing diagnostic imaging technology, may one day overtake mammography as the primary breast screening method considering its high sensitivity and specificity, according to a Thursday presentation at the European Congress of Radiology.March 1, 2012BreastDigital breast tomosynthesis will replace mammographyVIENNA - In 10 years, breast tomosynthesis will replace full-field digital mammography because of its higher sensitivity, enhanced image quality, and ability to image dense breasts, predicted a presenter at the European Congress of Radiology on Thursday.February 29, 2012MRIFunctional breast techniques receive cautious vote of confidenceVIENNA - Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR mammography is a sensitive method for detecting breast cancer because it highlights tumor vasculature, but diagnostic results may vary depending on reader experience. Diffusion-weighted imaging and MR spectroscopy aim to address this issue, and are continuing to show promise, according to a refresher course at the European Congress of Radiology.February 29, 2012Digital X-RayDR chest tomosynthesis helps characterize lung lesionsThe use of chest tomosynthesis with a digital radiography (DR) system enabled radiologists to characterize pulmonary lesions, circumventing the need for further diagnostic workup of patients with CT, according to a study by Italian researchers.December 11, 2011BreastNew U.K. study finds fewer benefits for breast screeningA new model-based analysis of mammography in the U.K. published Thursday in the British Medical Journal has found that the harms of breast screening may outweigh the benefits for up to 10 years after a screening program starts.December 8, 2011Digital X-RayDR chest tomo reduces number of CT exams in SwedenUsing chest tomosynthesis with a digital radiography system reduced the number of chest CT exams performed at a Swedish institution, leading to lower radiation dose and better use of CT resources, according to a presentation from last week's RSNA meeting.December 5, 20112011The future of radiology is bright, RSNA president saysCHICAGO - Radiology is beset with challenges ranging from regulatory to monetary. However, in his presidential address at the RSNA 2011 meeting, Dr. Burton Drayer said he preferred to focus on the "rainbows instead of the impending storm clouds."November 26, 2011CTSIIM regional meeting focuses on Calif. dose reporting billSAN FRANCISCO - California's new radiation dose reporting law was the focus of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine's (SIIM) first regional meeting. Attendees heard from inspectors on how they plan to enforce the law, which could become a model for other states concerned about radiation overdose.October 24, 2011Previous PagePage 10 of 10Top StoriesPractice ManagementMedical societies, experts share mixed thoughts on 'Big Beautiful Bill'The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Senate’s version of the bill on July 3, which calls for Medicaid cuts and an increase to the MPFS.CTBoth standard and ultrahigh resolution modes effective for PCCT CCTAAssociationsACR, MGMA respond to U.S. House, Senate passing 'Big Beautiful Bill'InterventionalGAE with stem cells effective for knee osteoarthritisUltrasoundCan lung ultrasound predict delirium in elderly COVID-19 patients?
