How does tube current modulation affect CT lung cancer screening dose?
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 27 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA21-06 | Room S404ABResearchers from the University of California, Los Angeles designed a project to measure effective and organ radiation doses in lung cancer screening studies using tube current modulation. They found very low doses overall.

FFR-CT is formidable in reducing unnecessary invasive angiography
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 27 | 11:15 a.m.-11:25 a.m. | SSA04-04 | Room S504ABBelgian radiologists tested noninvasive fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) to find out if it really reduced unnecessary invasive angiographies in chest pain patients undergoing coronary CT angiography. Their answer was yes, emphatically.

Are CT reports transferred with trauma patients unreliable?
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 27 | 10:45 a.m.-10:55 a.m. | SSA06-01 | Room N226Radiologists from a level I trauma center wondered if the CT reports they were getting for patients transferred to their emergency department were accurate. Their six-month investigation didn't deliver much confidence in the original reads.

Road to RSNA 2016: CT Preview
By Eric Barnes
At RSNA 2016, CT will mark another year of progress in grabbing useful information from anatomy scanned at ever-lower radiation doses. Spectral imaging, iodine imaging, k-edge imaging, photon-counting CT, iterative reconstruction, and other quantitative imaging techniques are on display in this year's sessions, offering new ways to see data hidden inside images.

Road to RSNA 2016: Imaging Informatics Preview
By Erik L. Ridley
Welcome to the first installment of this year's Road to RSNA preview of the 2016 RSNA meeting in Chicago. For the eighth year in a row, we're providing a modality-by-modality overview of the most important scientific sessions to serve as your guide to events at McCormick Place. Our journey along the Road to RSNA begins with our preview of Imaging Informatics, and specifically PACS, deep learning, and teleradiology.
