Abraham Kim[email protected]UltrasoundARRS: Density reporting laws not enough to boost breast USHONOLULU - Rates of breast ultrasound (US) use have slowly trended upward in states that have adopted breast density notification laws, but this growth has yet to cross the threshold of statistical significance, according to a presentation at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting.May 9, 2019UltrasoundARRS: Cinematic rendering comes to breast ultrasoundHONOLULU - Researchers from California produced photorealistic 3D models of the breast by applying cinematic rendering to 3D transmission ultrasound images. The potential clinical applications of these models were the subject of a Wednesday presentation at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting.May 8, 2019CTARRS: Should CT lung screening programs fear flu season?HONOLULU - Is CT lung cancer screening less effective during flu season? Probably not, but screening eligible smokers for respiratory illnesses such as the flu before ordering the exam sharply reduced the need for downstream testing, according to a presentation at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting.May 7, 2019CTARRS: Use of CT angiography surges for carotid imagingHONOLULU - The utilization rates of all imaging modalities for noninvasive carotid imaging have declined over the past decade with one exception -- CT angiography (CTA). CTA use for carotid imaging has grown by nearly 700%, according to a presentation on Monday at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) meeting.May 6, 2019Advanced VisualizationARRS: Radiologists foresee bright future for 3D printingHONOLULU - What are the predominant applications of 3D printing in healthcare, and what lies ahead for the technology? Radiologists from the U.S., Canada, and South Korea envisioned a bright future for medical 3D printing in a Sunday featured course at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) 2019 meeting.May 6, 2019CTCT lung screening isn't reaching areas that need it mostThe availability of CT lung cancer screening facilities favors U.S. regions that have relatively fewer individuals at risk of lung cancer. This suboptimal distribution may be contributing to the slow adoption of screening among eligible smokers, according to an article published in the May issue of Chest.May 3, 2019CTWhy are doctors overriding CT guidelines for PE patients?As much as 37% of CT pulmonary angiography exams for patients with a pulmonary embolism (PE) were ordered against guideline recommendations at a New York hospital, according to a new study. Researchers investigated the underlying reason for this discordance in an April 30 article published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.April 30, 2019CTLung cancer rates rise in China after screening startsThe incidence rate of lung cancer began climbing in women not long after CT lung screening began in China, but lung cancer mortality rates have yet to fall. And no effect has been seen yet in men, according to an article published in the June issue of Lung Cancer.April 29, 2019Radiation Oncology/TherapySingle-dose brachytherapy treats low-risk prostate cancerA single session of high-dose-rate brachytherapy safely treated prostate cancer in men and proved especially effective in low-risk cases in a new study, according to a presentation delivered on Monday at the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology meeting in Milan.April 29, 2019Advanced VisualizationAR, 3D printing aid presurgical planning for kidney cancerAugmented reality (AR) and 3D printing provided better visualization of intricate kidney structures than conventional MRI and CT -- improving physicians' understanding of patient anatomy before performing kidney tumor surgery, according to an article published online April 19 in JAMA Network Open.April 25, 2019Previous PagePage 24 of 63Next PageTop StoriesCTSCCT: Higher exposure to air pollution linked to higher CACSThere are a number of factors that could contribute to heart disease caused by pollution, according to an SCCT presentation.CTSCCT: Saurabh Jha on what trainees can expect starting out in cardiac CTCTSCCT: CCTA identifies underlying heart disease in firefightersCTSCCT: AI-driven CAC grading significantly cuts scoring timeSponsor ContentWhen CT meets the power of AI everyone benefits.
