3 ways cinematic rendering can bolster colon evaluation
The photorealistic quality of cinematically rendered CT scans can aid in the understanding of complex colon anatomy and has the potential to facilitate the detection and characterization of colon pathology in three major ways, according to an article published in the May/June issue of the Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography.

Is whole-body CT necessary after motor vehicle crashes?
Using whole-body CT to evaluate patients with normal physical presentation following a motor vehicle crash did not prompt any changes in their medical care in a new study, published online May 28 in Radiology. The findings question the value of the imaging technique in some emergency trauma cases.

3 ways to lower CT radiation dose across the hospital
A hospital-wide quality improvement project effectively lowered CT radiation dose by nearly 20%, report researchers from Seattle. They detailed how three initiatives enabled them to achieve this dose reduction in an article published online May 21 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

CT lung screening risk model cuts false-positive rate
Using a risk prediction model to figure out which nodules to work up helped reduce the false-positive rate in a CT lung cancer screening trial by more than threefold, compared with rates using previous criteria, according to an article published online May 15 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Head CT offers low diagnostic yield for fainting
More than half of all patients who faint still undergo head CT despite a diagnostic yield of less than 3% for the exam, according to an article published in the May issue of Academic Emergency Medicine. Researchers from Canada say it's high time to cut back on using the test for most patients.

3D MRI captures changes to fetal head during birth
Researchers from France have used 3D MRI to visualize changes to the shape of the fetal brain and skull during the second stage of labor. The images revealed that fetal heads may experience greater stress than previously imagined, according to an article published online on May 15 in PLOS One.

CT predicts cardiac events in colon cancer patients
Body composition measurements -- specifically visceral adipose tissue and muscle radiodensity -- obtained from the routine CT scans of patients with colorectal cancer could help identify those at the greatest risk of major adverse cardiac events, according to an article published online May 16 in JAMA Oncology.

Images of a 39-year-old who underwent screening mammography. Right craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (middle) views from preoperative mammography show suspicious grouped fine pleomorphic calcifications (arrows). After biopsy showed ductal carcinoma of situ (DCIS), patient underwent breast-conserving surgery, yielding final diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (intermediate grade, hormone receptor positive). (Right) Screenshot of an output of a commercial AI tool applied to preoperative mammography. AI detected right breast lesion with score of 95% on both views (concentric colored circles). Present study’s reviewing radiologist deemed AI marking to correspond with site of DCIS.
