Discuss AR headsets speed transition from 2D to 3D in liver imaging
June 6, 2019 -- Radiologists wearing augmented reality (AR) headsets were able to accurately identify liver tumors on virtual 3D models four times faster than on conventional MRI scans. Researchers believe that AR could speed the transformation of 2D to 3D imaging.

Discuss CAD software helps stratify risk in lung cancer patients
June 6, 2019 -- By measuring the percentage of pulmonary fibrosis on CT exams in lung cancer patients, computer-aided detection (CAD) software can also detect and quantify the extent of interstitial lung abnormalities and help in risk stratification of these patients, according to research published online June 4 in Radiology.

Discuss Surveillance breast MRI is double-edged sword
June 4, 2019 -- Using breast MRI for the surveillance of breast cancer survivors appears to be a double-edged sword. While breast MRI has a better cancer recurrence detection rate than mammography, the modality also can lead to more biopsies, according to a study published online June 4 in Radiology.
