Abraham Kim[email protected]Advanced Visualization3 ways cinematic rendering can bolster colon evaluationThe 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.May 29, 2019CTIs 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.May 29, 2019Advanced VisualizationRadiologists rally in support of medical 3D printingClinicians, including radiologists, who attended a 3D printing course unanimously agreed that the technology has the potential to benefit the management of cardiovascular disease; nearly all expressed an interest in learning more, according to an article published May 20 in the International Journal of Artificial Organs.May 28, 2019CT3 ways to lower CT radiation dose across the hospitalA 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.May 23, 2019Radiation Oncology/Therapy3D printing customizes brachytherapy for cervical cancerResearchers from the Netherlands have created individually tailored 3D-printed brachytherapy applicators based on the MRI scans of patients with cervical cancer, potentially improving access to tumors during treatment, according to an article published online recently in 3D Printing in Medicine.May 22, 2019CTCT lung screening risk model cuts false-positive rateUsing 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.May 22, 2019CTHead CT offers low diagnostic yield for faintingMore 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.May 20, 2019MRI3D MRI captures changes to fetal head during birthResearchers 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.May 17, 2019BreastSmokers shy away from cancer screening examsIndividuals who smoke are much less likely than nonsmokers to participate in basic screening exams for breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer, despite clear recommendations from existing guidelines, according to a new study published online May 17 in JAMA Network Open.May 16, 2019CTCT predicts cardiac events in colon cancer patientsBody 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.May 16, 2019Previous PagePage 23 of 63Next PageTop StoriesAIHPI: Evidence contradicts broad claims about AI, radiology workforceA team from the Neiman HPI expressed concern about comments published in JAMA Health Forum regarding AI's impact on the radiology workforce.Womens ImagingNew research initiative to create protocol for women with BACUltrasoundSiemens focuses ultrasound business on procedural imagingUltrasoundFDA: Philips Lumify ultrasound issue tied to 4 deathsCTNew dataset maps people eligible for LDCT lung cancer screening
