Abraham Kim[email protected]CTIs CT alone enough to clear cervical spine trauma?If a CT scan of a patient with obtunded blunt trauma is normal, is a follow-up MRI scan still needed to ensure the person doesn't have cervical spine trauma? Probably not, according to new research published in JAMA Surgery.March 22, 2018CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderMarch 20, 2018Image-Guided SurgerySIR: 3D printing aids US-guided procedure simulationResearchers have created 3D-printed models of groin vasculature with texture resembling real tissue for use in training students on ultrasound-guided interventional procedures. They detailed their experience with the models in a March 20 talk at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) 2018 annual meeting.March 19, 2018Advanced VisualizationSIR: Holography platform boosts reader confidence for aneurysmsResearchers are reporting positive results using a holographic augmented reality platform to assess splenic artery aneurysms in a study presented at this week's Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) annual meeting.March 18, 2018CTCT scans reveal changes to MLB baseballsCT may have helped researchers uncover why there's been an explosion of home runs in Major League Baseball (MLB). A group from California and Ohio scanned baseballs and found that their density has dipped in recent years -- supporting suspicions that "juiced balls" are behind the power surge.March 15, 2018CTHead CT scan finds large air pocket displacing brainClinicians in Northern Ireland reported that CT scans of a patient revealed a sizable black spot in the frontal lobe of the brain. This hypodense mark turned out to be a pocket of air that was compressing brain tissue as it seeped into the skull, according to a paper in BMJ Case Reports.March 14, 2018Advanced VisualizationCustomized 3D-printed liver boosts patient educationResearchers from China have created 3D-printed livers of pediatric patients with hepatic tumors and used these models to educate the parents -- improving their understanding of the condition and treatment options, according to a recent study published in the Journal of International Medical Research.March 13, 2018CTVessel-subtracting CAD boosts CT lung cancer screeningBy suppressing vessels from lung cancer screening CT scans, a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm helped radiologists improve their ability to spot nodules as well as reduce their interpretation times, according to an article published in the March issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.March 8, 2018Image-Guided SurgeryRadiopaque 3D-printed phantoms fit for CT-guided procedureGerman researchers have developed a 3D printing technique for producing realistic CT phantoms that radiologists were able to apply to the simulation of a CT-guided pain therapy procedure, according to results presented at ECR 2018.March 6, 2018Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderMarch 4, 2018Previous PagePage 50 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
