Abraham Kim[email protected]CTNew CT-guided procedure eases chronic pelvic painCT-guided pulsed radiofrequency, a relatively new technique that delivers bursts of energy to nerve roots, may be a safe and effective alternative to more traditional noninvasive therapies for chronic pelvic pain, according to an article published online August 22 in Clinical Radiology.August 25, 2019HomeColo. radiologist scales the world's highest summitsWith only one more mountain to go, Colorado radiologist Dr. Peter Lowry is on pace to scale the tallest summit in each of the seven continents of the world before year's end. His motivation? Reinvigoration for a relatively sedentary line of work that often demands long hours spent indoors.August 21, 2019Advanced Visualization3D models advance therapy for heart rhythm disorders3D heart models based on MRI scans allowed for the virtual simulation of existing and future irregular heartbeats in patients with atrial fibrillation in a new study, published online August 19 in Nature Biomedical Engineering. The models helped pinpoint distinct regions in the patients' heart that would benefit most from ablation therapy.August 20, 2019Advanced Visualization4 applications of cinematic rendering in maxillofacial CTSwiss researchers have used cinematic rendering to create photorealistic images of head CT and conebeam CT scans. They assess the potential benefits of integrating these images into the evaluation of maxillofacial anatomy and pathology in a study recently published online in Dentomaxillofacial Radiology.August 19, 2019CTIs it time to implement CT lung screening in Asia?A computer-based simulation model projected that CT lung screening in several Asian countries could reduce lung cancer deaths by nearly 5% in a new study, recently published online in PLOS One. These populations are likely to benefit greatly from widespread implementation of CT lung screening, researchers say.August 18, 2019CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderAugust 14, 2019CTConcerns grow over CT radiation for kidney stonesClinicians need to be more judicious when it comes to using CT for kidney stones, say researchers from Washington. In a new study published online in Urology, they report that patients with active stone disease are exposed to roughly 10 times more CT radiation per year than individuals without kidney stones.August 14, 2019MRI7T MRI and 3D printing uncover signs of severe MSA combination of 7-tesla MRI and 3D printing technology has revealed that patients with a growing number of chronic active brain lesions are also more likely to have more debilitating forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), including individuals receiving standard treatment. The findings were published online August 12 in JAMA Neurology.August 13, 2019CTCT confirms air pollutants heighten lung disease riskQuantitative analysis of CT scans revealed that long-term exposure to everyday air pollutants was associated with worsening lung function and faster progression of lung disease in otherwise healthy individuals in a new study, published online August 13 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.August 13, 2019UltrasoundEcho remains top modality in Canada for heart failureAlthough CT and MRI have taken on a growing role in recent years, resting echocardiography remains by far the most widely used imaging modality for heart failure patients in Canada, according to an article published online August 9 in JAMA Network Open.August 8, 2019Previous PagePage 18 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
