This year's presentations will reaffirm the utility of tried-and-true imaging techniques and also feature relatively new technologies that have already begun reshaping the approach radiologists take to common clinical applications.November 6, 2019CTCT lung screening proves cost-effective even at older agesA cost analysis of well-established CT lung cancer screening guidelines confirmed that screening remains cost-effective even at the oldest upper age limits, with screening of older people incurring more costs but offering greater reductions in mortality risk. The findings were published online November 4 in Annals of Internal Medicine.November 4, 2019CTReversed halo sign on chest CT linked to septic PEThe presence of a reversed halo sign on chest CT scans is indicative of septic pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with intravenous substance use disorder, according to a study published online October 31 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.November 3, 2019CTCould cold, hard cash reduce unnecessary head CT scans?Offering financial incentives like cash to emergency patients with minor traumatic brain injury to convince them to skip scans that might not be medically indicated may help reduce the rate of unnecessary head CT exams, according to an article published in the October issue of Academic Emergency Medicine.October 30, 2019Advanced Visualization4 core applications of cardiovascular 3D printingHow are clinicians integrating 3D printing technology into adult cardiovascular medicine? Researchers from the U.S., Switzerland, and China detail a wide range of examples in four core areas in a review article published online October 21 in Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery.October 27, 2019CTSmokers less likely to undergo medical, screening examsCurrent smokers who met the National Lung Screening Trial criteria for CT lung cancer screening were less likely to participate in general medical checkups and colon cancer screening exams than those who did not in a new study, published online October 22 in PLOS One.October 23, 2019CTLife expectancy model refines CT lung screening criteriaResearchers from the U.S. National Institutes of Health have developed a prediction model that determines an individual's eligibility for CT lung cancer screening based on life years gained. The model may be a more effective alternative to traditional screening criteria, according to an October 22 article in the Annals of Internal Medicine.October 22, 2019Previous PagePage 14 of 63Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayDo courts recognize the limitations of chest x-ray for lung cancer?Currently, there is no formal, universally accepted methodology of using radiology-specific evidence-based medicine in courts.UltrasoundPOCUS outperforms chest x-ray in finding pneumothoraxCTSCCT: Higher exposure to air pollution linked to higher CACSCTSCCT: Saurabh Jha on what trainees can expect starting out in cardiac CTSponsor ContentWhen time is of the essence
