The prediction can then be used to direct patient therapy, according to an article published online February 15 in Nature Communications.February 14, 2019CTLung cancer imaging on the upswing in ChinaCT appears to be taking over for x-ray as a tool for the diagnosis of lung cancer in China, where imaging utilization rates have generally trended upward over the past decade -- most notably in underdeveloped regions of the country, according to an article published online February 8 in Thoracic Cancer.February 14, 2019Advanced Visualization3D printing unites radiology, otolaryngology3D printing is emerging as a key technology in the management of ear, nose, and throat conditions, according to an article recently published online in Laryngoscope. International researchers contend that the growing demand for 3D printing will bolster collaboration between radiologists and otolaryngologists.February 12, 2019Molecular ImagingNew technique may top ultrasound for heart disease riskA new imaging technique known as volumetric multispectral optoacoustic tomography provided better visualization of the carotid arteries than ultrasound did in a new study, published online February 12 in Radiology. It may help advance the noninvasive assessment of cardiovascular disease, according to the researchers.February 12, 2019CTHeart societies endorse CT CAC for risk assessmentThe American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology have reaffirmed their support for the use of CT coronary artery calcium (CAC) testing to estimate heart disease risk, according to an article published online February 11 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.February 11, 2019CTAcademic pediatric facilities have lower CT radiation doseAcademic pediatric facilities used about half the radiation dose that other U.S. medical facilities used for pediatric CT scans of the chest, abdomen-pelvis, and brain -- with significantly less variation in dose, according to an article published online February 5 in Radiology.February 6, 2019CTCT matches MRI for late-window stroke evaluationStroke patients who underwent endovascular therapy had similar improvement after their treatment regardless of the type of perfusion imaging -- CT or MRI -- that clinicians used to confirm their eligibility for surgical procedures, according to an article published online January 28 in JAMA Neurology.February 5, 2019Previous PagePage 29 of 63Next PageTop StoriesNuclear MedicineLu-177 PNT2002 before SBRT extends disease control in prostate cancerA group from the University of California, Los Angeles, updated an analysis of outcomes from the LUNAR trial by 10 months.MRIAI on par with radiologists for finding prostate cancer on MRIAIHPI: Evidence contradicts broad claims about AI, radiology workforceWomens ImagingNew research initiative to create protocol for women with BACUltrasoundSiemens focuses ultrasound business on procedural imaging
