Checking for these factors may help improve survival, according to an article published online on August 14 in Lancet Neurology.August 16, 2018CTLung cancer overdiagnosis varies widely on CT screeningThe concept of overdiagnosis has bedeviled the mammography screening debate, and it's beginning to show up in CT lung cancer screening as well. A study published online August 13 in JAMA Internal Medicine found an overdiagnosis rate of 67% in a Danish lung screening program -- much higher than rates in other programs.August 16, 2018CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderAugust 14, 2018CTAre patients adequately informed about CT lung screening?Physicians may not be adequately explaining the harms and benefits of CT lung cancer screening to eligible smokers, according to an article published online August 13 in JAMA Internal Medicine.August 13, 2018CT3 reasons why trauma injuries are missed on whole-body CTThere are three major characteristics that predict which patients presenting with multiple traumatic injuries will have their injury overlooked on a whole-body CT exam, according to an August 7 article in Radiology. Identifying these risk factors early could help improve injury detection.August 8, 2018CTVariation in CT, MRI protocols can be reducedResearchers from Boston successfully cut by almost one-third the number of CT and MRI protocols being used in their health network. They believe the streamlining will lead to more consistent patient care with less waste, according to an article published online August 3 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.August 7, 2018Advanced Visualization3D-printed hips may improve complex fracture diagnosisRadiology residents who examined 3D-printed models of an acetabular fracture based on hip CT scans had a marked improvement in their understanding of the condition, according to an article published online recently in Academic Radiology. This could benefit the accuracy of their diagnostic reports.August 7, 2018Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderAugust 5, 2018Previous PagePage 43 of 63Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputationsLower limb amputation is an increasingly common major complication of advanced peripheral arterial disease and diabetes mellitus.MRI3D MRI technique helps plan treatment for pediatric heart conditionsWomens ImagingCould AI scoring help with managing DCIS?CTClinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion typePractice ManagementRadiology coding update for 2026
