Is 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.

SIR: 3D printing aids US-guided procedure simulation

Researchers 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.

CT scans reveal changes to MLB baseballs

CT 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.

Head CT scan finds large air pocket displacing brain

Clinicians 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.

Vessel-subtracting CAD boosts CT lung cancer screening

By 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.
