Brian Casey[email protected]EconomicsMICI Q4: Political concerns don't roil admins' outlookRadiology administrators appear to have put aside previously stated concerns about political turmoil in Washington, DC. Administrator sentiment remained stable for the fourth quarter of 2017, according to the latest figures from the Medical Imaging Confidence Index (MICI).November 13, 2017RSNAHolistic approach tackles digital x-ray reject analysisSunday, November 26 | 11:00 a.m-12:30 p.m. | RCC11C | Room S501ABCIn this Sunday morning refresher course, Alisa Walz-Flannigan, PhD, will discuss strategies for analyzing repeat digital x-ray studies.November 12, 2017RSNARoad to RSNA 2017: Digital X-Ray PreviewRadiography is medical imaging's first modality, but over a century after its discovery it's still going strong, with new technologies and clinical applications giving x-ray a renewed sense of vibrancy. At RSNA 2017, one of the most exciting technologies will be artificial intelligence.November 12, 2017RSNAIs there a better way to calculate patient radiation dose in radiography?Thursday, November 30 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | PH263-SD-THB5 | Lakeside, PH Community, Station 5In this poster presentation, researchers from Belgium will describe their efforts to develop more-personalized radiation doses for posteroanterior chest radiography studies using information on body habitus that is available in the DICOM header of images.November 12, 2017RSNAAutomated image quality tool is adapted for pediatric studiesThursday, November 30 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | RC613-12 | Room S102CDIn this Thursday talk, researchers from Duke University will explain how they took a tool developed for automated assessment of image quality in adult chest radiographs and adapted it for use in children.November 12, 2017RSNAWhat causes delays in hip radiographs for ER patients?Wednesday, November 29 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSM07-06 | Room S403BA group from Ireland will explore the reason why radiographs of hip fractures are delayed in the emergency room (ER) setting in this Wednesday afternoon presentation.November 12, 2017RSNAAfter-hours x-ray may not be necessaryWednesday, November 29 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | ER225-SD-WEA1 | Lakeside, ER Community, Station 1In this study, researchers from Ireland found that plain-film abdominal radiographs performed outside of standard working hours were rarely useful and exposed patients to unnecessary radiation while using scarce hospital resources.November 12, 2017RSNAPediatric x-ray dose is standardized in PortugalWednesday, November 29 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | RC513-12 | Room E352In this Wednesday morning presentation, researchers from Portugal will discuss their project to optimize radiation dose for the most common pediatric plain radiography exams performed in their country. They also aimed to develop diagnostic reference levels to set optimal dose levels that can be used across the nation.November 12, 2017RSNADouble reading skeletal surveys could reduce need for follow-up examsWednesday, November 29 | 9:20 a.m.-9:30 a.m. | RC513-05 | Room E352Before you acquire a follow-up skeletal survey for nonaccidental trauma, it might be a good idea to take another look at the initial exam, according to this study from researchers at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.November 12, 2017RSNAMethod helps calculate newborn weight, gestational age from x-raysWednesday, November 29 | 9:10 a.m.-9:20 a.m. | RC513-04 | Room E352In this Wednesday morning session, researchers from Spain will describe their efforts to find a better way to calculate the weight and gestational age of critically ill newborns based on anteroposterior chest x-rays.November 12, 2017Previous PagePage 61 of 140Next PageTop StoriesCTNew benchmark helps monitor cumulative CT radiation doseThe findings highlight the need for systematic dose tracking and rigorous justification of imaging.Radiation Oncology/TherapyStudy questions routine use of radiotherapy after bone surgeryUltrasoundCEUS outshines color Doppler imaging for indeterminate kidney lesionsWomens ImagingWomen's Imaging MinnieCast, Episode 2: Risk-based vs. annual mammography screening, part 1Digital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputations
