3D VR models improve kidney-sparing surgery outcomes
September 18, 2019 -- Examining 3D virtual reality (VR) models during presurgical planning for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy led to reductions in operating time, blood loss, and hospital length of stay compared with planning based on MRI and CT scans alone in a new study, published online September 18 in JAMA Network Open.

Discuss FET-PET can be useful for glioma evaluations
September 18, 2019 -- When glioma results are inconclusive on MRI, clinicians should consider fluoroethyl-tyrosine (FET)-PET for more definitive results and to differentiate between tumor progression and treatment improvement, according to a study published online September 13 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Discuss Clinical study validates ultrahigh-resolution chest CT
September 17, 2019 -- An ultrahigh-resolution CT scanner substantially improved the quality of imaging data acquired from patients with various chest diseases, compared with a standard CT scanner, in a new study, recently published online in the Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography. The advanced CT technology may enhance diagnostic imaging and disease characterization.
