Very favorably, for the most part, according to a study by U.S. and Australian researchers, who reported their findings in an article published online March 1 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.March 6, 2019Advanced VisualizationVR, AR elevate radiologists' value in future of medicineHow can virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) help radiologists advance their specialty's value in healthcare? Researchers from the Netherlands, Sweden, and the U.K. drew from their experiences with the technologies to discuss the possibilities in a Coffee and Talk session at ECR 2019.March 3, 2019CTCT system developers utilize AI to boost patient careDisease detection with CT has benefited greatly from advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) software during the past year. To make the case at the ECR 2019 technical exhibition, many vendors are dedicating their CT booth presentations to the integration of AI into the modality. The rewards for patient care are visible for all delegates to see during this week's congress.March 1, 2019CTDose monitoring optimizes whole-body CT in ItalyBy monitoring CT dose and adjusting protocols at their institution, researchers from Italy were able to identify the optimal parameters for reducing cancer patients' exposure to radiation from whole-body CT exams, without lowering image quality. They presented their findings on Wednesday at ECR 2019 in Vienna.February 27, 2019CTU.S. cancer sites boast high access to CT lung screeningMore than 70% of U.S. cancer centers offer onsite CT lung cancer screening, but this high availability drops off substantially for sites serving racial minorities and rural residents in Puerto Rico, according to an article published online February 25 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.February 26, 2019Advanced Visualization3D printing reduces liver transplant costs, surgery timePresurgical planning on 3D-printed models allowed researchers from China to perform liver transplants with more accuracy and efficiency than standard surgical planning methods -- ultimately speeding up operation times and reducing patient costs, according to an article recently published online in Liver Transplantation.February 25, 2019CT24/7 availability of radiologists speeds up emergency CTProviding around-the-clock radiologist coverage significantly boosted the efficiency of emergency patient care, including reducing head CT turnaround times by more than tenfold, according to a series of presentations at the upcoming Canadian Association of Radiologists 2019 meeting in Montreal.February 24, 2019Previous PagePage 28 of 63Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingPET/CT scans show lung damage in stone workersThe metabolic activities occurring in the lungs of these patients have been unknown.CTSCCT: Study explores diagnostic accuracy of CCTACTSCCT: AI predicts coronary artery calcium scores from chest x-raysCTSCCT: CCTA model shows plaque volume changes in chest pain patientsSponsor ContentWhen time is of the essence
