Louise Gagnon[email protected]Breast ImagingRSNA 2019 to offer a look at progress of AI and DBTWhat if you took two of the most exciting technologies in medical imaging and put them together? That's the promise behind the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The upcoming RSNA 2019 meeting will offer an excellent look at the progress being made in integrating AI with DBT.November 17, 2019CTCanada's Conservatives pledge $1.5B in imaging fundsOTTAWA, ONTARIO - Long wait times in Canada for medical imaging procedures could be cut dramatically -- at least, if the Conservative Party follows through on an election pledge made today to invest $1.5 billion Canadian in new MRI and CT scanners.September 19, 2019MRIMRI shows brain changes from cannabis useThe use of even small amounts of cannabis can cause changes in the brains of adolescents, according to recent studies using MRI. The findings indicate that researchers should pay close attention to increasing cannabis use, especially in vulnerable populations, according to a presentation last week at the Society for Magnetic Resonance Radiographers & Technologists (SMRT) meeting.May 19, 2019MRISMRT: Simple solution improves 7T field homogeneityMONTREAL - While 7-tesla MRI offers high resolution and strong contrast, its shortcoming is the lack of field homogeneity. This can be addressed with the use of dielectric pads, according to poster research presented at the Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (SMRT) annual meeting.May 16, 2019ISSMRT: EMR confers many benefits to MRI workflowMONTREAL - The electronic medical record (EMR) is making inroads into radiology, presenting workflow challenges that may not have been present in the era when PACS was king. But the EMR also presents workflow benefits, specifically for MRI, according to a Sunday talk at the Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (SMRT) annual meeting.May 12, 2019MRISMRT: Abbreviated protocol may address barriers to breast MRI screeningMONTREAL - Abbreviated and unenhanced breast MRI protocols hold potential to address the barriers to using MRI more widely in breast screening, according to a presentation at the Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (SMRT) annual meeting.May 11, 2019MRISMRT: The 'tunnel game' helps prep kids for MRI scansMONTREAL - Developing alternatives to using anesthesia during pediatric MRI scans can be as easy as child's play, according to a poster presentation at the Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (SMRT) annual meeting.May 10, 2019Radiation Oncology/TherapyBrachytherapy error halts treatment at Canadian centerA cancer center in Hamilton, Ontario, has suspended brachytherapy treatment for cervical cancer patients after discovering that guide tubes of the wrong length were being used, meaning radiation may have missed the tumor target. The episode highlights the importance of anonymous error reporting, according to experts.February 13, 2019MRICanadian group tackles MRI waits through schedulingWait times for MRI scans have been a troublesome issue in Canada. But in Ontario, researchers have developed a method that could double the number of patients who receive MRI scans within targeted wait times by using computer technology to give higher priority to patients the longer they have been waiting.October 30, 2018AIRadiology leaders must counter hype over AI in radiologyRadiology leaders must take the lead in educating the imaging community about how artificial intelligence (AI) will augment the work of radiologists rather than take away their jobs, said RSNA President Dr. Vijay Rao at the recent Canadian Association of Radiologists meeting.May 15, 2018Previous PagePage 4 of 7Next PageTop StoriesClinical NewsCloser proximity to Missouri's Coldwater Creek tied to cancer riskPeople who live or have lived near Coldwater Creek, Missouri, have a higher risk of developing cancer.AIChatGPT-4 accurately classifies pancreatic cysts on MRI, CT imagingCTVideo: SCCT president offers highlights for upcoming meetingCTCT reveals changes in lung holes in emphysema patientsSponsor ContentYou think ahead.
