Abraham Kim[email protected]CTVolumetry software affects CT lung screening recall ratesUsing different types of volumetry software to measure nodules on CT lung cancer screening exams can drastically alter the recall rate for follow-up exams, underscoring the need to validate the software to ensure effective screening, according to an article recently published online in the European Journal of Radiology.September 19, 2019CTISCT: 5 clinical benefits of photon-counting CTSAN DIEGO - Photon-counting CT scanners might not yet be available for everyday clinical use, but early studies have shown that the technology can offer clear benefits over conventional CT, many of which Cynthia McCollough, PhD, detailed in the opening session of the 2019 International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) symposium.September 18, 2019Advanced Visualization3D VR models improve kidney-sparing surgery outcomesExamining 3D virtual reality (VR) models during presurgical planning for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy led to reductions in operating time, blood loss, and hospital length of stay compared with planning based on MRI and CT scans alone in a new study, published online September 18 in JAMA Network Open.September 17, 2019CTClinical study validates ultrahigh-resolution chest CTAn ultrahigh-resolution CT scanner substantially improved the quality of imaging data acquired from patients with various chest diseases, compared with a standard CT scanner, in a new study, recently published online in the Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography. The advanced CT technology may enhance diagnostic imaging and disease characterization.September 16, 2019CTRisk model improves accuracy of CT lung cancer screeningUsing a risk-prediction model to determine eligibility for CT lung screening is more effective for detecting cancers than current guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, according to new results from the International Lung Screen Trial presented at the recent World Conference on Lung Cancer in Barcelona, Spain.September 15, 2019Advanced VisualizationNew 3D bioprinting method produces functional organ tissueResearchers from Harvard University have developed a new 3D bioprinting method that uses a combination of stem cells and 3D CT data to produce functional, patient-specific organ tissue. The resulting 3D-bioprinted models are poised to facilitate organ repair and restoration, according to an article recently published online in Science Advances.September 15, 2019Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderSeptember 11, 2019CTStroke care looks skyward with new mobile CT programThe notion that stroke care could one day take to the skies seems more likely now than ever. Researchers from Australia have launched a new research program tasked with developing portable brain CT scanners that can be installed onboard aircraft to give rural areas access to faster stroke intervention.September 10, 2019CTBlood biomarkers bolster CT lung cancer screeningAdding a blood test to CT lung cancer screening improved the early detection of lung cancer by 36% in an ongoing study and may help lower mortality rates in high-risk smokers, compared with standard clinical care, according to a September 9 presentation at the World Conference on Lung Cancer in Barcelona, Spain.September 8, 2019Digital X-RayVirtual reality relieves kids' anxiety over chest x-rayEducating pediatric patients about their upcoming chest x-ray exam with virtual reality technology helped reduce preprocedural anxiety, and, in turn, the need for repeat exams and parental presence in the imaging suite in a new study, published online September 9 in JAMA Pediatrics.September 8, 2019Previous PagePage 16 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
