New data show that less than 9% of doctors talked about screening with their patients who currently smoke, according to an article published online April 25 in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.April 24, 2019Advanced VisualizationVirtual reality engages patients more than CT, bookletsPatients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm were more engaged and had a better understanding of their condition after examining 3D models using virtual reality technology, compared with CT scans or other educational resources, according to an article published online April 19 in the Annals of Vascular Surgery.April 24, 2019CTAI predicts lung cancer survival from CT scan dataHarvard researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm capable of analyzing routine CT scans to predict how well lung cancer patients will respond to treatment, as well as their likelihood of survival, according to an article published online April 22 in Clinical Cancer Research.April 21, 2019Advanced Visualization3D-printed craniofacial models support family consultsResearchers from Saudi Arabia have created 3D-printed models based on the CT scans of children with craniofacial deformities. Examining the models significantly increased the parents' likelihood of consenting to surgical treatment, according to a study recently published online in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery.April 21, 2019CTCan videos convince smokers to get CT lung screening?Smokers who watched a video and read a brochure on the potential harms and benefits of CT lung cancer screening had a better understanding of the exam and had more confidence in their decision to get screened, according to an article published online April 17 in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society.April 18, 2019Advanced Visualization4 practical applications of VR, AR in radiologyVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are emerging as key tools for advancing education, communication, and clinical care in radiology. Researchers offer details on several practical applications of the technologies as they are being used throughout various hospitals in an article published online April 16 in Radiology.April 18, 2019CT3D-bioprinted model mimics real human heart propertiesResearchers from Israel have created a 3D-printed model that captures the immunological, biochemical, cellular, and anatomical properties of a real human heart, according to an article published online April 15 in Advanced Science.April 15, 2019CTCTC offers added value to colon cancer screeningCT colonography (CTC) nearly matched the predictive accuracy of colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening, while also allowing for risk stratification by providing detailed insight into the nature of colorectal findings in a new study, published online April 11 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.April 15, 2019CTProlonged CT lung screening offers cumulative benefitsThe latest results from the Multicentric Italian Lung Detection trial highlighted the increasing benefits of CT lung screening over time -- starting after year five -- culminating in a 39% reduction in lung cancer mortality risk for eligible smokers at 10 years, according to a recent study published in the Annals of Oncology.April 14, 2019Previous PagePage 25 of 63Next PageTop StoriesCTSCCT: CCTA identifies underlying heart disease in firefightersSudden cardiac death is a leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in firefighters, accounting for 40% of duty-related firefighter deaths in 2023.CTSCCT: AI-driven CAC grading significantly cuts scoring timeMolecular ImagingPET/CT scans show lung damage in stone workersCTSCCT: Study explores diagnostic accuracy of CCTASponsor ContentWhen time is of the essence
