Abraham Kim[email protected]MRICould MRI replace CT for lung cancer screening?Monday, November 26 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSC03-09 | Room E451AMRI could be a more cost-effective alternative to CT for lung cancer screening, say researchers from the U.S., Switzerland, and Germany, who used a prediction model to compare the two exams.October 30, 2018CTIASLC advocates CT lung cancer screeningThe International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) has emphasized again its support for CT lung cancer screening as a tool for identifying early-stage lung cancer and reducing the mortality rate of high-risk smokers.October 25, 2018CTCT reveals heart enlargement differs in men, womenIs CT a viable alternative to cardiac MRI for assessing heart chamber enlargement? Yes, say researchers from Canada, who discovered that the condition was much more common in men than women. Their findings were published in the November issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.October 24, 2018CTMachine-learning CCTA helps characterize heart plaquesResearchers from Japan have developed a method that uses machine learning to characterize plaques on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans with an accuracy exceeding that of standard techniques, according to an article published online October 20 in the Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.October 23, 2018Radiation Oncology/TherapyASTRO: Weekly breast radiation therapy is safeA larger, weekly dose of radiation therapy has side effects that are comparable to those from conventional daily treatments for early-stage breast cancer, say U.K. researchers, who shared their findings on Sunday at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting in San Antonio.October 21, 2018CTCT radiomics improves management of bile duct cancerResearchers from China have developed a radiomics model that can determine the malignancy of lymph node metastases in patients with bile duct cancer by analyzing features on CT scans, according to an article recently published online in Radiology. They believe the model can predict the survival rate of patients.October 18, 2018Advanced VisualizationAugmented reality heightens accuracy of brain procedureResearchers from China used augmented reality technology to visualize brain CT scans directly on the head of a patient for a neurosurgical procedure -- markedly improving the procedure's accuracy compared with standard methods, according to an article published online October 16 in the Journal of Neurosurgery.October 15, 2018CTCinematic rendering enhances ovarian cancer evaluationThe photorealistic detail provided by cinematically rendered CT scans helped researchers from China characterize and stage ovarian tumors better than they could with traditional volume rendering and multiplanar reconstruction, according to an article published online in the Journal of Ovarian Research.October 11, 2018Advanced Visualization3D printing boosts efficiency of rib fracture repairResearchers from Taiwan have created 3D-printed models of rib structures based on chest CT scans to facilitate presurgical planning for rib fracture stabilization. The technique led to reductions in operating time and length of surgical incisions, according to an article recently published online in PLOS One.October 10, 2018CTReport predicts plunge in U.S. lung cancer mortalityIn a new paper, researchers from the U.S. National Cancer Institute and other U.S. institutions predict mortality from lung cancer will plunge through 2065, largely due to the success of smoking-control efforts. Lung cancer screening may also help reinforce this trend, according to the article, published online October 8 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.October 8, 2018Previous PagePage 39 of 63Next PageTop StoriesCTNew benchmark helps monitor cumulative CT radiation doseThe findings highlight the need for systematic dose tracking and rigorous justification of imaging.Radiation Oncology/TherapyStudy questions routine use of radiotherapy after bone surgeryUltrasoundCEUS outshines color Doppler imaging for indeterminate kidney lesionsWomens ImagingWomen's Imaging MinnieCast, Episode 2: Risk-based vs. annual mammography screening, part 1Digital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputations
