Rib suppression algorithm enables better chest x-ray imaging

By Brian Casey

Monday, November 26 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSC14-01 | Room S403AThe increasing use of digital radiography has given rise to a host of image processing techniques that can improve image quality and reduce dose. In this Monday morning presentation, researchers report on one such algorithm, which suppresses contrast from the ribs to enable the use of a more optimal imaging protocol.

Road to RSNA 2012: Advanced Visualization Preview

By Erik L. Ridley

The growing power of advanced visualization technology will be ever-present in the scientific program at this month's RSNA meeting in Chicago. Hot topics this year include computer-aided detection (CAD) and computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) technology, as well as quantitative imaging. Look for a range of papers on CAD and, in particular, CADx, as researchers increasingly explore the use of computer-aided technology to assist in diagnosis, not just detection.
