But the test offered less of a benefit to men, according to a study recently published in the International Journal of Cancer.June 13, 2019CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderJune 12, 2019CTFFR-CT beats CCTA for assessing heart disease outcomesFractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) was significantly better at predicting the long-term effects of cardiac disease -- including death, heart attack, and the need for revascularization -- than conventional coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in a new study, published online June 11 in Radiology.June 11, 2019Advanced VisualizationCinematic rendering tops CT to visualize patient anatomyCinematically rendered CT images allowed clinicians to understand patient anatomy more quickly and with a greater degree of accuracy than conventional CT, according to an article recently published online in JAMA Surgery. Researchers from Germany suggest the technique may also benefit surgical planning and decision-making.June 6, 2019Image ProcessingAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderJune 5, 2019Advanced VisualizationAR headsets speed transition from 2D to 3D in liver imagingRadiologists wearing augmented reality (AR) headsets were able to accurately identify liver tumors on virtual 3D models four times faster than on conventional MRI scans. Researchers believe that AR could speed the transformation of 2D to 3D imaging.June 5, 2019CTRisk models boost efficiency of CT lung cancer screeningIntegrating risk-prediction models into eligibility criteria for CT lung cancer screening could prevent up to 24% more cancer deaths than using guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, with no difference in the number of smokers screened, according to a report published June 3 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.June 3, 2019AINg details key steps for the adoption of AI in radiologyBURLINGAME, CA - With the advance of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine well underway, what's holding AI back from being deployed in clinical practice?
