'Instant replay' fluoroscopy cuts radiation dose in children
By Eric Barnes
If you've ever watched a fluoroscopy study fly by and muttered something less printable than "Wait -- what was that again?" you may not be alone. Considering how fast physiologic processes happen, a little instant-replay action could go a long way toward nailing the diagnosis. Now researchers from Israel have found that a software feature known as last fluoroscopy hold (LFH) can dramatically reduce the need for another pass at the patient, thereby reducing the radiation dose and saving time.

Now researchers from Chicago have developed a computerized temporal subtraction technique used between successive whole-body bone scans that may reduce physicians' reading time and improve their accuracy.

Advanced visualization alone reduces coronary CTA accuracy
By Eric Barnes
Radiologists using advanced visualization software to get the best coronary CT angiography (CTA) results might want to take another look. Radiologists in Germany and the U.S. have concluded that reading CTA data using advanced visualization techniques alone can miss many relevant stenoses that would have been found with a glance at the native CT data.
