Abraham Kim[email protected]CTBlack-blood CT sheds light on intraluminal heart anatomyAn advanced imaging technique called black-blood CT can leverage cinematic rendering technology to provide a detailed view inside the lumen of vasculature and potentially bolster cardiac evaluation, according to an article published online October 1 in the Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.October 8, 2019CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderOctober 6, 2019CTNew CT diagnostic reference levels factor in image qualityCT diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are primarily intended to regulate radiation dose. But researchers from Duke University are now proposing that image noise be factored into DRLs to further optimize the quality of CT scans, in an article published in the October issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.October 3, 2019MRINew technique unravels 3D MRI scans of placentaWhen applied to 3D MRI, a new mapping algorithm can generate virtual placenta models that open up and flatten -- enhancing the visibility of the placenta during pregnancy, according to an upcoming presentation at the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention in China.October 2, 2019MRIMRI, blood test uncover signs of mild TBI in athletesThe combination of MRI and blood biomarker analysis revealed damage to the blood-brain barrier of high-contact sports athletes in a new study published online in the Journal of Neurotrauma. Together, the tests may be able to detect mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) that often go undiagnosed using standard methods.September 29, 2019CTRadiologist leadership cuts CT lung screening radiationMany U.S. institutions have been exceeding radiation dose recommendations for CT lung cancer screening exams, according to a study published online September 23 in JAMA Internal Medicine. A possible solution may be to have a lead radiologist establish CT protocols at each screening facility.September 26, 2019CTCinematic rendering offers clinical utility in MSK CTWhat is the clinical utility of cinematic rendering in musculoskeletal (MSK) CT? It enhances the visualization of soft-tissue injuries and fractures -- in turn improving trauma evaluation and preoperative planning, Dr. Savvas Nicolaou said in a presentation at the recent International Society for Computed Tomography meeting in San Diego.September 25, 2019CTISCT: Will AI for CT be radiology's killer app?SAN DIEGO - While artificial intelligence (AI) has been generating buzz in radiology, a "killer app" for AI in medical imaging has yet to emerge. Dr. Eliot Siegel believes that killer app could be the use of AI for processing CT data, according to a talk at the 2019 International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) meeting.September 22, 2019CTISCT: Radiologists glean insight from patient reviewsSAN DIEGO - Whether for a conventional CT scan or a more intricate imaging exam, radiology reports can often be challenging for patients to understand. Dr. Arun Krishnaraj shared lessons learned from soliciting feedback for medical imaging reports in a talk at the 2019 International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) symposium.September 20, 2019CTISCT: 10 pillars of an effective CT lung screening programSAN DIEGO - As CT lung cancer screening continues to expand across the U.S., what measures can healthcare providers take to ensure that screening programs remain efficient, cost-effective, and patient-centered? Dr. Florian Fintelmann offered 10 tips in a talk at the 2019 International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) meeting.September 19, 2019Previous PagePage 15 of 63Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingNew research initiative to create protocol for women with BACThe InAWH and the Washington Research Foundation aim to help hospitals and providers put BAC reporting into practice.UltrasoundSiemens focuses ultrasound business on procedural imagingUltrasoundFDA: Philips Lumify ultrasound issue tied to 4 deathsCTNew dataset maps people eligible for LDCT lung cancer screeningAISopris Capital buys Blackford Analysis from Bayer
