Regular tuneups help off-the-shelf displays
By Erik L. Ridley
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ12-05 | Room S402ABThe use of secondary off-the-shelf displays for specific clinical purposes is growing, aided by the proliferation of Web-based image viewing software. Clinical users can get the most out of these displays by calibrating them regularly, according to research from University College Dublin in Ireland.

Automated peer-review QA software beats paper
By Erik L. Ridley
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ12-04 | Room S402ABTo maintain their institutional credentials, U.S. imaging facilities must set up a peer-review quality assurance program for radiologists to grade each other's work. Using paper and pencil to manage this process can be a headache, and that's why a Rhode Island radiology practice has implemented an automated software application for managing peer-review overreads.

Web-based broker helps researchers tackle HIPAA headaches
By Erik L. Ridley
Monday, November 30 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSC08-09 | Room S402ABThe passage of HIPAA created challenges for researchers who now have to ensure that patient data they're working with doesn't include protected health information. In this Monday talk, a group from the University of Chicago School of Medicine will discuss iBroker, an application they've developed that helps researchers handle HIPAA requirements.

International teleradiology communicates emergency results
By Erik L. Ridley
Monday, November 30 | 11:30 a.m-11:40 a.m. | SSC07-07 | Room S102DOne of the biggest knocks against international teleradiology has been a belief that radiologists located onsite or within the community are better positioned to adequately communicate critical emergency findings to referring physicians, compared to teleradiologists who aren't based in the U.S. That theory will be addressed in a presentation by Dr. Stephen Eigles of international teleradiology firm Teleradiology Solutions.

Image texture allows for accurate image classification
By Erik L. Ridley
Monday, November 30 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSC08-05 | Room S402ABRadiology is a visual medium, right? Then why not use visual information when looking for images, to improve upon traditional text-based data search methods? That's the proposal in this study, to be presented in the scientific sessions on Monday by a team of researchers from Medical College of Wisconsin and Oregon Health and Science University.

Workflow dashboard software orchestrates suite music
By Erik L. Ridley
Monday, November 30 | 11:00 a.m-11:10 a.m. | SSC08-04 | Room S402ABAn imaging facility is like an orchestra -- every member of the team must play in tune in order to make sweet music. In this presentation, University of Chicago researchers will discuss their work on a dashboard application designed to improve efficiency by providing a graphical view of patient flow within an imaging suite.

A better way to find a needle (image) in a haystack (PACS)
By Erik L. Ridley
Sunday, November 29 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA11-06 | Room S403ASometimes, trying to find the exact image you want in a PACS archive can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. In this Sunday scientific session presentation, Chinese researchers will discuss their development of a new database search strategy that relies on both text and image information to help radiologists when they're looking for visually similar images.
