BlinkRadiology advances novel technique to image interpretation
By Wayne Forrest
There is an old adage that states, "If you blink, you'll miss it." In the case of BlinkRadiology, however, the Springfield, IL-based start-up radiology software company encourages blinking. The firm has developed digital image display software that rapidly alternates new and prior images in front of and over each other. By "blinking" the two images, the technique is designed to improve the accuracy of image interpretation by taking advantage of the human brain's instinctive attraction to motion.

Two-segment CTA reconstruction aids images, not accuracy
By Eric Barnes
For patients with faster heart rates, the use of two-segment reconstruction improves image quality at 64-slice coronary CT angiography (CTA), according to a study from Germany. Among all patients, however, accuracy was not improved using two-segment when compared to single-segment reconstruction.

Translucency rendering aids prepless 3D VC
By Eric Barnes
The use of primary 3D interpretation isn't generally recommended for reading reduced-prep virtual colonoscopy (VC) data. Reading is time-consuming, and 3D endoluminal views can make it difficult to distinguish from residual stool difficult. But a new study says that reading reduced-prep data in 3D is not only possible but accurate and time-efficient if a software translucency rendering tool is applied.

Radiologists may be better off taking hands-on approach to 3D workflow
By Erik L. Ridley
The growing size of datasets produced by multidetector-row CT (MDCT) and MRI scanners has led to a crisis in radiology workflow that is being addressed to some extent by 3D image processing, according to Dr. Eliot Siegel, chief of imaging for the VA Maryland Healthcare System in Baltimore. While there are several possible models for handling 3D data, the most effective may be one that has radiologists taking more control of image processing tasks.
