Abraham Kim[email protected]CTDoes colonoscopy top CTC for cancer screening?Is colonoscopy or CT colonography (CTC) more cost-effective when screening for colorectal cancer? Dutch researchers get to the bottom of this question in a study published online February 27 in Radiology.March 1, 2018Advanced VisualizationMeasurements of AR holograms match gold standardResearchers at the University of California, San Francisco created holograms that have comparable dimensions to corresponding CT scans using proprietary augmented reality (AR) software. They plan to present their work at the upcoming American Roentgen Ray Society meeting in Washington, DC.February 27, 2018Digital X-RayStudy eyes interventional rads and opioid prescriptionsInterventional radiologists write relatively few prescriptions for their patients, yet some prescribed opioids more frequently than other physicians did for Medicare beneficiaries in 2015, according to a study published online February 21 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.February 25, 2018Nuclear MedicineCCTA usage rate rises sharply, but still eclipsed by MPIThe use of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) to evaluate chest pain in the emergency department has grown exponentially, but clinicians are still using myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) far more frequently, according to research published online February 15 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.February 22, 2018CTUltralow-dose CT slashes radiation dose for fracturesJust how low can CT radiation dose go? Researchers from New York City found that radiologists performed well when reading extremity trauma scans acquired with an ultralow-dose protocol with dose levels approaching those of x-ray, according to a study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma.February 20, 2018Advanced Visualization2D/3D hybrid interface refreshes diagnostic imagingA new display interface for radiology workstations combines virtual reality with a traditional 2D interface to provide simultaneous 2D and 3D visualization of medical images. Using it helped radiologists improve their diagnostic performance in a study published in the February issue of the Journal of Digital Imaging.February 13, 2018CTFrench find no need for CT to rule out PEFrench researchers found that a set of clinical criteria was just as accurate as a protocol that included CT pulmonary angiography for ruling out pulmonary embolism (PE) in the emergency department, according to an article published in the February 13 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.February 12, 2018CT5 ways to optimize CT lung cancer screeningAn academic hospital that implemented a CT lung cancer screening program obtained similar detection rates as the National Lung Screening Trial. But it also encountered challenges that needed to be addressed to improve the quality of screening, which researchers describe in a new study published in Academic Radiology.February 8, 2018CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderFebruary 6, 2018CTIs CT or MR perfusion better for diagnosing CAD?Recent advances in scanner technology have made the use of CT stress myocardial perfusion imaging feasible. Just how well it matches up to MR perfusion in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) is the central question of a study published in the February issue of Radiology.February 6, 2018Previous PagePage 51 of 63Next PageTop StoriesUltrasoundCEUS outshines color Doppler imaging for indeterminate kidney lesionsCEUS outperformed color Doppler ultrasound in a study focusing on indeterminate kidney lesions.Womens ImagingWomen's Imaging MinnieCast, Episode 2: Risk-based vs. annual mammography screening, part 1Digital 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?
