Suspicious findings by rad oncs at CT simulation merit look by radiologist

By Shalmali Pal

Radiation oncologists who come across previously undetected findings during CT simulation have a responsibility to ensure that those images are reviewed by a diagnostic radiologist, according to researchers from the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit. While the group acknowledged that CT simulation images are not of the highest diagnostic quality, they can still yield clinically relevant information.

Teniae coli landmarks guide navigation in VC

By Eric Barnes

A new study in Radiology examines the use of teniae coli -- three thick bundles of muscle that run along the outer longitudinal layer of the colon's muscularis externa -- as a navigation and localization tool for virtual colonoscopy data. Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD, believe that teniae coli, as extractable features of VC datasets, can significantly improve polyp localization over current methods.

RSNA studies advance ultrasound's role in breast cancer detection

By Edward Susman

The preliminary results of the ACRIN 6666 trial show that ultrasound boosts cancer detection but at the risk of a higher false-positive rate. While the trial investigators continue to mine the trial data to find the best place for the modality in a screening setting, other researchers are using advanced imaging technology such as 3D and computer-aided analysis tools with ultrasound to enhance breast imaging.

TMJ imaging benefits from digital tomo technique

By Brian Casey

Japanese researchers have produced good results using a digital tomosynthesis technique for general radiography studies of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). As part of its research, the group also developed a new reconstruction algorithm for digital tomo studies that they say reduces image artifacts in the 3D volumes generated by the digital tomo system they used.

3D CT planning organizes acetabular fracture fragments into a surgical framework

By Shalmali Pal

International orthopedic surgeons and trauma specialists have teamed up to develop a CT-based virtual 2D planning system for acetabular fracture reduction. The team tested a 2D CT data-driven virtual software application for more accurate planning in acetabular fracture operative reduction and internal fixation.
