Discuss Ultrasound CADx software can stratify thyroid nodules
April 15, 2019 -- Although it doesn't perform as well as a sonography expert, ultrasound computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) software can still be useful for stratifying thyroid nodules by their risk of malignancy, according to research published online April 11 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Discuss Flortaucipir-PET shows promise for detecting CTE
April 12, 2019 -- Flortaucipir-PET scans revealed high amounts of tau protein in brain regions associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in former professional football players, potentially enabling this disease to one day be diagnosed before death, according to new research in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Discuss MRI can help assess additional damage from ACL injuries
April 11, 2019 -- An acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury often also inflicts damage to the anterolateral structures of the knee. A preoperative MRI can help to assess these injuries and assist in surgical planning, according to a study published in the April issue of the American Journal of Sports Medicine.

Discuss AIUM: TRUS or MRI for prostate diagnosis?
April 10, 2019 -- ORLANDO, FL - Although multiparametric MRI may be widely considered now as the go-to exam for detecting prostate cancer and guiding biopsies, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) can still be a viable option, according to a presentation at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) meeting.

Discuss Low-energy scanning methods cut CT contrast dose
April 10, 2019 -- Using dual-energy CT or simply lowering the tube voltage of standard CT can enable a 25% reduction in contrast dose for CT exams without altering image quality -- uncovering the potential for hospital-wide cost savings, according to an article published online April 9 in Radiology.

Discuss fMRI links imaging biomarker to PTSD treatment response
April 10, 2019 -- Using functional MRI (fMRI), researchers have observed abnormal patterns of brain activity in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that can predict a poorer response to therapy, according to two studies published online April 3 in Science Translational Medicine.
