4 key enterprise imaging takeaways from SIIM 2019

July 16, 2019 -- Although enterprise imaging has been a popular topic of discussion in recent years, customer adoption still remains relatively low. Market analyst Stephen Holloway shares his four key observations on enterprise imaging from the recent Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) annual meeting in Denver. Discuss

Preop breast MRI predicts positive tumor margins

July 16, 2019 -- Preoperative breast MRI features such as multifocal disease, a nonmass enhancement lesion, and greater background parenchymal enhancement can help predict positive or close margins at breast-conserving surgery, according to a new study published in the August issue of the European Journal of Radiology. Discuss

MRI, age can predict return from baseball elbow injury

July 16, 2019 -- Patient age and findings on MRI can be helpful in determining how soon baseball players might return to action after an elbow injury, according to research presented at the recent American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine annual meeting in Boston. Discuss

Synthesized 2D mammography equal to FFDM, with a caveat

July 15, 2019 -- The visibility of screen-detected cancers is generally equal to or higher on synthesized 2D mammography when compared with full-field digital mammography (FFDM), but caution should be used when evaluating asymmetries and lesions less than 2 cm in size, according to a new study published online July 12 in Academic Radiology. Discuss

ABVS distinguishes malignant from benign breast lesions

July 15, 2019 -- The automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) performs just as well as handheld ultrasound for distinguishing between malignant and benign breast lesions, according to a literature review published in the August issue of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. Discuss

Vest technology could monitor patient therapy at home

July 15, 2019 -- Patients undergoing personalized lutetium-177 (Lu-177) DOTATATE therapy for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors may soon be monitored in the comfort of their homes after treatment, thanks to a newly developed vest. Discuss

Demographic factors limit access to CT lung screening

July 15, 2019 -- Smokers who are older, uninsured, undereducated, and live in a rural area are more likely to be located farther away from a CT lung cancer screening facility and thus have limited access to screening services, according to an article published online July 11 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. Discuss

AR offers 3D image guidance for interventional procedures

July 12, 2019 -- Researchers from New York have developed a new image-guidance technique that uses augmented reality (AR) to facilitate interventional procedures. They detail how their method may help improve the ease and accuracy of catheter placement into the heart in an article recently published online by PLOS One. Discuss

Low-field MRI ensures safe scans with implanted devices

July 12, 2019 -- How low can clinicians go with MRI magnet strength to ensure the safety of patients with implanted cardiac rhythm management devices and maintain diagnostic-quality images? The answer is 0.2 tesla, according to an Austrian study published July 4 in the European Journal of Radiology. Discuss

Female radiologists read fewer advanced imaging studies

July 12, 2019 -- Female radiologists interpret fewer advanced imaging studies than their male counterparts, according to a study published online July 4 in Academic Radiology. Discuss
