Abraham Kim[email protected]MRIfMRI reveals that 'magic mushrooms' reduce depressionU.K. researchers used functional MRI (fMRI) to determine that the psychoactive ingredient in "magic mushrooms" -- psilocybin -- decreases symptoms of depression, according to a study published online October 13 in Scientific Reports.October 12, 2017CTAI algorithm predicts lung disease, adverse events on CTRecent studies have demonstrated the power of artificial intelligence (AI) software to detect disease, but how well can it predict future adverse events? The extent to which AI can assess smokers' risk for lung disease on CT was reported in a new study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.October 12, 2017AINIH opens massive x-ray database to propel AI researchOptimizing artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for medical applications demands immense stores of imaging data. Researchers may now begin sating that need thanks to an enormous database of chest x-rays recently made available by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).October 9, 2017Advanced VisualizationHow radiologists can optimize their role in 3D printingThe vision of combining 3D printing and healthcare is now a reality. What can radiologists do to get started, and how can they maximize their role in the field? A panel of 3D printing experts discussed such questions and more in a September 28 webinar.October 8, 2017MRIIBM's Watson assigns patients to MRI contrastDetermining which patients need contrast for musculoskeletal MRI scans can soak up a lot of time and resources. What if you could use artificial intelligence instead? Researchers found that IBM Watson could help optimize the process, according to a September 18 paper in the Journal of Digital Imaging.October 2, 2017CTCT radiation dose tracking reveals global disparitiesThe growing use of radiation dose tracking software has revealed an inconvenient truth: There are substantial differences around the world in the amount of radiation dose being used for CT scans, according to a Swiss study published online in the American Journal of Roentgenology.October 2, 2017CTCan MRI challenge CT in diagnosing appendicitis?CT has long been the go-to tool for diagnosing appendicitis in kids, but concerns about radiation have radiologists exploring other modalities. Whether MRI could be one of these alternatives was the subject of a study published in the October issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.September 28, 2017CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderSeptember 26, 2017CTCTA helps direct use of clot removal for stroke patientsDetermining which stroke patients should undergo mechanical clot removal hinges on a complex network of clinical imaging factors. Measuring collateral blood flow through CT angiography (CTA) can help optimize the process, according to a study published online September 25 in JAMA Neurology.September 25, 2017Digital X-RayDigital tomo refines postoperative imaging of hand fracturesThe proper installation of orthopedic hardware in the hand and wrist after surgery is usually confirmed with digital radiography. But digital tomosynthesis may further enhance visualization around such implants, according to research published online September 11 in Clinical Radiology.September 24, 2017Previous PagePage 62 of 63Next PageTop StoriesCTNew benchmark helps monitor cumulative CT radiation doseThe findings highlight the need for systematic dose tracking and rigorous justification of imaging.Radiation Oncology/TherapyStudy questions routine use of radiotherapy after bone surgeryUltrasoundCEUS outshines color Doppler imaging for indeterminate kidney lesionsWomens ImagingWomen's Imaging MinnieCast, Episode 2: Risk-based vs. annual mammography screening, part 1Digital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputations
