The technique could eventually be able to improve the visualization and diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in humans, according to an article published in the June issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.June 3, 2018Advanced Visualization'Bitmap' technique enhances quality, speed of 3D printingA new 3D printing technique can produce multimaterial 3D-printed models more rapidly and with a higher resolution than traditional techniques by converting MRI and CT scans into a series of black and white pixels, according to a study published online May 29 in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing.June 3, 2018CT3 steps to personalized CT lung cancer screeningWhat's the best way to personalize CT lung cancer screening to make sure it has the greatest positive effect? A group from Michigan came up with three factors to consider, ranging from lung cancer risk to life expectancy, in a paper published online May 29 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.May 28, 2018CTLung cancer more common in white women than menThe incidence rate of lung cancer is now higher in non-Hispanic white women in the U.S. than it is in men of the same race, flipping the historical trend of a higher incidence in men, according to research published in the May 24 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.May 23, 2018CTAI can detect, assess white-matter lesions on CT scansResearchers from the U.K. have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm capable of accurately detecting and rating the severity of brain lesions on CT scans of patients presenting with stroke or dementia, according to an article published online May 15 in Radiology.May 22, 2018Advanced VisualizationAI may help overcome barriers to medical 3D printingHow can artificial intelligence (AI) help ameliorate the high cost and long turnaround time of producing 3D-printed models? One possibility is by automating steps in the 3D printing process, according to a review article published online May 9 in Expert Review of Medical Devices.May 20, 2018CTASCO: CT lung cancer screening rates continue to stagnateDespite support from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and various medical societies, CT lung cancer screening rates for current and former heavy smokers remain low, according to research to be presented on June 1 at the 2018 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in Chicago.May 16, 2018CTMRA tops CTA for pulmonary embolism evaluationMR angiography (MRA) may have an edge over CT angiography (CTA) for diagnosing pulmonary embolism due to its reduced risk of radiation and adverse events, according to a pair of articles by Wisconsin researchers published online in Emergency Radiology and the Journal of the American College of Radiology.May 15, 2018CTRisk-based CT lung screening could be more efficientPerforming CT lung cancer screening based on an individual's cancer risk rather than one-size-fits-all guidelines could be a more efficient way to figure out who needs screening, according to a May 14 article in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Four risk models, in particular, seem to stand out from the rest.May 14, 2018Previous PagePage 47 of 63Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingWomen's Imaging MinnieCast, Episode 2: Risk-based vs. annual mammography screening, part 1Vilert Loving, MD, from Ochsner Health and the SBI discusses breast cancer screening based on annual mammography versus risk.Digital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputationsMRI3D 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 type
