DR, 320-detector-row CT cut dose in pediatric studies
By Brian Casey
Monday, November 26 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-PDS-MO3A | Lakeside Learning CenterIn this lunchtime poster presentation, researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences will demonstrate the results of their investigation into lower radiation doses possible for pediatric imaging with two technologies, digital radiography (DR) and 320-detector-row CT.

Technique estimates pediatric dose for DR studies
By Brian Casey
Monday, November 26 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-PDS-MO2A | Lakeside Learning CenterHeightened concern over radiation dose has led to the development of new methods for calculating and reporting dose delivered to patients during imaging exams. Most of the attention has focused on CT -- but what about digital radiography (DR)?

Digital tomosynthesis may be alternative to KUB urolithiasis
By Brian Casey
Monday, November 26 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSC14-02 | Room S403ADigital tomosynthesis could be a better alternative than conventional kidney, ureter, and bladder (KUB) radiography or unenhanced CT for detecting urinary stones, according to this presentation by Chinese researchers.

Rib suppression algorithm enables better chest x-ray imaging
By Brian Casey
Monday, November 26 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSC14-01 | Room S403AThe increasing use of digital radiography has given rise to a host of image processing techniques that can improve image quality and reduce dose. In this Monday morning presentation, researchers report on one such algorithm, which suppresses contrast from the ribs to enable the use of a more optimal imaging protocol.

CT beats radiography for assessing spondyloarthritis
By Brian Casey
Sunday, November 25 | 11:45 a.m.-11:55 a.m. | SSA14-07 | Room E451BCT is better than radiography for assessing the sacroiliac joints in patients with spondyloarthritis, Canadian researchers confirmed, and CT-based criteria should be developed for guiding therapy of these individuals.

Road to RSNA 2012: Advanced Visualization Preview
By Erik L. Ridley
The growing power of advanced visualization technology will be ever-present in the scientific program at this month's RSNA meeting in Chicago. Hot topics this year include computer-aided detection (CAD) and computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) technology, as well as quantitative imaging. Look for a range of papers on CAD and, in particular, CADx, as researchers increasingly explore the use of computer-aided technology to assist in diagnosis, not just detection.
