Abraham Kim[email protected]Advanced VisualizationCinematic rendering paves way for 'virtual' physical examRadiologists from Massachusetts identified ear calcification on the cinematically rendered CT scans of a patient with traumatic brain injury -- effectively allowing them to uncover a rare diagnosis without performing a physical exam, according to an article published online January 28 in Endocrine.February 4, 2019CTRussian AI detects lung cancer on CT in 20 secondsResearchers from Russia have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) program called Doctor AI-zimov that is capable of identifying and marking lung nodules -- some as small as 2 mm -- on CT scans in under 20 seconds.February 3, 2019CTDid Image Gently reduce CT use for kidney stones?The CT utilization rate for children with kidney stones has gradually decreased in recent years, but researchers from Michigan are questioning whether the Image Gently safe-imaging initiative is the cause of the trend. Their findings were published online January 28 in the Journal of Urology.February 3, 2019CTHigh CT CAC scores in athletes do not increase mortalityMen who regularly engage in high levels of physical activity are at an increased risk of having elevated CT coronary artery calcification (CAC) scores, but this association does not translate into a higher risk of all-cause mortality, according to research published online January 30 in JAMA Cardiology.January 30, 2019CTCT reveals risk of electric scooters, need for helmetsShould helmets be required for electric scooter use? Probably yes, say researchers from California, who identified a high proportion of head injuries on the emergency CT scans of scooter riders, many of whom were adolescents. The findings were published online January 25 in JAMA Network Open.January 27, 2019CTPulmonologists more open to CT lung cancer screeningPulmonologists and primary care physicians have contrasting opinions regarding CT lung cancer screening -- with pulmonologists referring far more patients for the exam, according to an article published in the January-February issue of the North Carolina Medical Journal.January 23, 2019CTSmoking tied to vascular disease risk in African-AmericansCT coronary artery calcium scans of African-Americans revealed that smoking substantially increased their risk of developing peripheral artery disease, according to an article published online January 23 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.January 23, 2019MRI4D flow MRI, 3D printing improve congenital heart surgeryPlanning a complex surgery for patients with congenital heart disease may require multiple advanced visualization techniques, say researchers from California, who used both 4D flow MRI and 3D printing for a case study recently published in the World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery.January 22, 2019CTFew artifacts from CT eye shields affect diagnosisGiving patients eye shields to protect the eye lens from radiation during CT scans resulted in some image artifacts, but these rarely affected exam interpretation, according to research published online January 15 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.January 21, 2019Advanced VisualizationCinematic rendering enhances pelvic CT bone evaluationResearchers from Thailand used cinematic rendering to enhance the visualization of pelvic bone CT scans, enabling radiologists and osteologists to identify key features for age estimation without invasive preparation, according to an article recently published in Forensic Science International.January 20, 2019Previous PagePage 30 of 63Next PageTop StoriesClinical NewsCloser proximity to Missouri's Coldwater Creek tied to cancer riskPeople who live or have lived near Coldwater Creek, Missouri, have a higher risk of developing cancer.AIChatGPT-4 accurately classifies pancreatic cysts on MRI, CT imagingCTVideo: SCCT president offers highlights for upcoming meetingCTCT reveals changes in lung holes in emphysema patientsSponsor ContentWhen time is of the essence
