The 3D models have helped improve patients' understanding of their disease and treatment, according to a presentation at RSNA 2018.November 29, 2018MRIMRI exposes changes to kids' brains from footballAn examination of MRI scans revealed that repeated head collisions incurred while playing football can deform the shape of white-matter tracts -- or bundles of nerve fibers -- in a child's brain, according to a presentation on Thursday at RSNA 2018.November 28, 2018CTEmergency CT use continues its exponential growthCHICAGO - The utilization rate of CT continues to soar in U.S. hospital emergency departments, with radiologists interpreting the majority of these exams. What does the trend say about the state of emergent CT? Researchers from Pennsylvania explored the question in a Tuesday presentation at RSNA 2018.November 27, 2018CTCT-guided pulsed radiofrequency provides back pain reliefCT-guided pulsed radiofrequency, which applies pulses of energy directly to nerve roots, may be an effective method for alleviating lower back pain for cases when more conservative treatment options fail to do so, according to a Tuesday presentation at RSNA 2018 in Chicago.November 26, 2018Advanced VisualizationVirtual reality may help plan, guide glioma resectionCHICAGO - Virtual and augmented reality technologies offer an interactive, 3D visualization of brain cancer that can help improve preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance for brain tumor resection, according to a Tuesday presentation at RSNA 2018.November 26, 2018MRIMRI shows promise for lung cancer screeningCHICAGO - Nearly a decade ago, CT surpassed x-ray as the imaging modality of choice for lung cancer screening. But could there be an even better option for the test? Researchers from the U.S., Switzerland, and Germany made the case for MRI in a Monday presentation at RSNA 2018.November 25, 2018ISFuture of radiology empowered by emerging technologiesCHICAGO - Radiology can once again situate itself at the center of patient care by embracing emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, RSNA 2018 President Dr. Vijay Rao said in her opening address. Radiologists must do their part to make this future a reality.November 24, 2018CTFlat-panel CT helps refine pitch for cochlear implant usersAn individualized CT-guided approach to programming cochlear implants significantly improved pitch perception in people with deafness or severe hearing deficiencies, compared with the standard technique, according to an article published online November 21 in JAMA Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery.November 21, 2018Advanced Visualization3D printing gives pediatric heart surgery a boostResearchers in the U.S. have created hundreds of individually tailored 3D-printed cardiac models to facilitate presurgical planning for pediatric heart disease. Using these models has helped lower operating times and reduce costs, according to a new article published in 3D Printing in Medicine.November 20, 2018BreastACS releases blueprint to advance cancer screeningCurrent cancer screening efforts have not sufficiently invested in optimizing the use of new discoveries and technology to improve outcomes, according to a report from the American Cancer Society (ACS) published online November 19 in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.November 19, 2018Previous PagePage 33 of 63Next PageTop StoriesASTRO 2026ASTRO: Incoming president talks 2026 highlights, previews next yearNext year's theme in Chicago, IL, is "The Full Spectrum: From Discovery to Delivery, Expanding What's Possible."ASTRO 2026ASTRO: Radiosurgery may extend survival for SCLC with brain metastasesASTRO 2026Video from ASTRO: How is the RPT boom impacting radiation oncology?MRICardiac MRI-derived metrics predict adverse cardiac disease outcomesSponsor ContentFree Webinar: CT Contrast Injection Reimagined
