3D diminution index spots lung nodules attached to blood vessels
By Eric Barnes
BERLIN - A principal limitation of lung cancer imaging is the difficulty of distinguishing lung nodules attached to blood vessels from normal blood vessels, especially in CT data. But researchers from Japan have developed a 3D feature called the diminution index, which scans the CT pulmonary blood vessel data for signs of rapidly expanding shapes that can indicate a nodule rather than a blood vessel.

4D MRI enables blood-velocity measurement in mitral valve insufficiency
By Eric Barnes
BERLIN - Mitral valve insufficiency is a fairly common heart problem that lacks ideal imaging solutions. The problem lies in assessing regurgitant blood flow to determine the need for intervention. A presentation Thursday at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting discussed the limitations in assessing blood flow, and highlighted a new measurement approach using time-resolved MRI vector fields.

How to find and train a 3D technologist
By Brian Casey
SAN FRANCISCO - The routine use of 3D imaging has created a new class of radiologic technologists who specialize in processing and reconstructing 3D imaging studies before the radiologist interprets them. Such individuals can have a beneficial impact on 3D workflow by assuming 3D processing duties once handled by radiologists, according to speakers at the International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT on Thursday.
