Abraham Kim[email protected]CTHow prevalent are incidental thyroid nodules on CT?Incidental thyroid nodules on CT lung screening scans may be more common than you think, according to an analysis of data from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). Researchers found more nodules requiring workup than were originally reported by NLST readers.April 17, 2018CTFlexible 3D-printed heart replicates size, textureResearchers from Australia and China have created a 3D-printed heart that mirrors the size and texture of real cardiac tissue, with potential clinical applications in patient and medical education, communication among clinicians, and presurgical planning, according to a recent study published in PLOS One.April 12, 2018CTLung cancer risk model optimizes follow-up CT screeningHow might a lung cancer risk-prediction model improve follow-up CT screening? A model that incorporates patient characteristics and CT data could allow many individuals to skip the first annual follow-up screening exam -- reducing costs and radiation exposure, according to research published online recently in Thorax.April 11, 2018CTStudy questions use of whole-body CT for kids with traumaDoes examining whole-body CT scans of children who present to the emergency department with blunt trauma improve their survival more than evaluating select CT scans of the patients' injured areas? Not in the least, found a study published online April 9 in JAMA Pediatrics.April 9, 2018CTMuscle mass, adiposity on CT predict breast cancer survivalMeasurements of muscle mass and adiposity drawn from the CT scans of patients with breast cancer predicted their survival better than calculations of body mass index, according to research published online April 5 in JAMA Oncology.April 5, 2018Advanced VisualizationRadiology education gets Second Life in virtual worldHow can the immersive, simulated environment of a virtual world benefit radiology education? By offering a way for students to engage in collaborative learning and training online with minimal use of resources, found researchers from Spain in a study published online March 26 in Academic Radiology.April 4, 2018CTCADx volumetry predicts lung cancer recurrence on CTMeasurements of lung nodule volume on CT scans made with computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) software were more accurate than conventional measurements of nodule diameter in predicting the recurrence of subsolid lung cancer in patients who underwent surgery, according to a recent study published in Radiology.April 4, 2018BreastACR, SBI: Some black women need earlier breast screeningThe American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) have updated their breast cancer screening guidelines to recommend that black women at high risk of breast cancer start breast screening at an earlier age.April 3, 2018CTDoes organ-specific CT dose reduction really reduce dose?Researchers from Belgium are questioning whether organ-based tube-current modulation in CT chest studies of women really reduces radiation dose. They found that while radiation dose to the breast fell, it increased in other areas, according to a study published on March 27 in Radiology.April 3, 2018Advanced Visualization3DHeals 2018 to foster collaboration in medical 3D printingMultidisciplinary collaboration is becoming increasingly critical as the clinical use of 3D printing progresses. The upcoming 3DHeals 2018 conference in San Francisco offers an outlet for all those interested in the burgeoning technology to discuss the most recent developments with leaders in the field.March 30, 2018Previous PagePage 49 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
