Rebekah Moan[email protected]MRICAD boosts breast MRI sensitivityVIENNA - Breast MRI already has high sensitivity, but can it be even higher? The answer is yes, if computer-aided detection (CAD) is thrown into the mix, according to a presentation at ECR 2015. In fact, the CAD system detected previously missed cancers nearly as well as it did screen-detected cancers.March 5, 2015CTCT, MRI contribute to major shake-up in breast imagingRapid progress in both CT and MRI are being made in the field of breast imaging. Speakers at today's special focus session at ECR 2015 will provide an overview of what's possible with breast CT and unenhanced breast MRI.March 4, 2015BreastBreast screening controversies set to generate fierce debateToday's session on breast cancer screening has the potential to be the most controversial at ECR 2015, because it includes the perspectives of not only screening advocates but also dissenters. Specifically, researchers will debate hot topics such as the Canadian National Breast Screening Study, followed by a period of questions and answers.March 4, 20152015How 'normal' can revolutionize imagingVIENNA - So often "normal" is looked down upon; it's the extraordinary, the outliers, the special cases that get all the attention. However, normal studies can revolutionize the way images are seen, according to a speaker at the ECR 2015 opening press conference.March 3, 2015UltrasoundThe good, the bad, and the ugly about breast ultrasoundWhen it comes to screening women for breast cancer, those with dense breasts or tissue abnormalities tend to be the most troublesome, but breast ultrasound has proved, and continues to prove, its utility for these women, say leading researchers.March 3, 2015BreastNew studies underline promise of digital breast tomosynthesisDigital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is superior to conventional digital mammography when detecting breast cancer in women with dense breasts, according to research presented at this month's International Congress of Radiology. DBT also has an edge for the characterization of masses.September 24, 2014BreastSwiss board repeats call to abolish breast screeningBreast cancer screening programs in Switzerland should be wound down, as screening does not clearly produce more benefits than harms, according to an editorial by two members of the Swiss Medical Board published in the New England Journal of Medicine.April 15, 2014BreastNew BI-RADS uncouples assessment and managementVIENNA - The fifth edition of the BI-RADS atlas has been released, and while there have been several changes, perhaps the most important is the uncoupling of the assessment category and management recommendation, according to presenters at an ECR 2014 session on Sunday afternoon.March 10, 2014Digital X-RayTeeth: The feature radiologists need to know more aboutVIENNA - Most radiologists don't deal much with dental imaging, but they should be aware of what to look out for and know the difference between dental MRI and cone-beam CT, according to a Sunday presentation at ECR 2014.March 9, 2014CTNew model for CKD screening cuts eGFR redundancies in halfVIENNA - Because of the proportion of false positives in predicting chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced CT, the current combination of all risk factors is inaccurate, delegates at ECR 2014 learned. A less elaborate model cuts estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) redundancies by 50%.March 8, 2014Previous PagePage 5 of 10Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalStenting shows little benefit over medical therapy for reducing strokeStent placement doesn't reduce risk of recurrent stroke more than medical therapy in patients with narrowing of arteries in the brain.Womens ImagingMRI predicts treatment response for triple-negative breast cancerMRICardiac MRI shows heart damage caused by air pollutionUltrasoundCEUS impacts 2D shear-wave elastography liver assessmentAIHow accurate are AI-generated depictions of radiologists?
