Abraham Kim[email protected]CTBiennial follow-up exams prove safe for CT lung screeningBiennial CT lung cancer screening is a safe alternative to annual screening, say researchers from Italy. They found that both approaches led to similar reductions in cancer and all-cause mortality in a new analysis of the Multicentric Italian Lung Detection trial published in the September issue of the European Journal of Cancer.August 7, 2019Advanced Visualization3D-printed head customizes neurosurgery simulationResearchers from Australia have created a 3D-printed head model, based on a combination of MRI and CT angiography scans, that allows for the realistic simulation of neurosurgical procedures. They discuss the specifics of their method in an article published online August 1 in 3D Printing in Medicine.August 7, 2019Molecular ImagingPSMA-PET/CT most effective for recurrent prostate cancerPET/CT is significantly better at detecting prostate cancer recurrence when used with the radiopharmaceutical gallium-68 (Ga-68) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) than with F-18 fluciclovine, according to an article recently published online in Lancet Oncology.August 6, 2019CTUSPSTF again dismisses pancreatic cancer screeningThe U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has reaffirmed its prior decision to recommend against imaging-based screening for pancreatic cancer in asymptomatic individuals, in a recommendation statement published online August 6 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.August 6, 2019Advanced Visualization3D-bioprinted model reproduces heart structure, functionResearchers from Pennsylvania have developed a way to create realistic 3D-bioprinted heart models that reproduce not only the cardiac texture and microstructure of MR images but also cardiac function and cell growth. Their new 3D bioprinting technique is the subject of an article published in the August 2 issue of Science.August 1, 2019CTBrain abnormalities on CT, MRI indicate severe ZikaStructural abnormalities visible on the brain MRI and CT scans of infants with the Zika virus had a significant association with severe clinical outcomes, especially in those initially affected by the virus during the first trimester of pregnancy, according to a study published online July 31 in JAMA Network Open.July 31, 2019Advanced VisualizationTop 5 clinical applications of pediatric 3D printingWhat are the most common clinical applications for 3D-printed models created from MRI scans of pediatric patients? A team from Ohio explored the various applications and the role radiologists play in production of the models in a new article, recently published online in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.July 30, 2019CTCT for hematuria may increase cancer risk, costsThe diagnostic advantages of using CT to evaluate patients with blood in the urine, or hematuria, may be offset by a bevy of downsides, including increases in patient costs and risk of cancer from radiation exposure, according to a study published July 29 in JAMA Internal Medicine.July 29, 2019Advanced VisualizationCinematic rendering complements CT in diagnosing colitisRadiologists who had access to cinematically rendered images of the colon in addition to conventional CT scans -- as opposed to CT alone -- reported clear improvements in their capacity to diagnose ulcerative colitis in a new study, published in the August issue of the Japanese Journal of Radiology.July 29, 2019CTWhy are some CCTA scans ineligible for FFR-CT analysis?A significant proportion of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans has been deemed ineligible for analysis with fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) in recent studies. An international team of researchers investigated the underlying causes behind this issue in an article published online July 23 in Radiology.July 28, 2019Previous PagePage 19 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
