Making a miniPACS and reporting system work in Kenya
By Cynthia E. Keen
Monday, November 28 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-INE1152-MOB | Lakeside Learning CenterProviding basic radiology services in a developing country, much less implementing a PACS, is challenging. However, a specialized PACS and structured reporting system are operating successfully in Kenya; they will be described in an exhibit at RSNA 2011 by one of its implementers.

Structured reports establish consistency in radiology department
By Cynthia E. Keen
Monday, November 28 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-QSE-MO1A | Lakeside Learning CenterThe radiology department of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has a reputation for innovation, so it's not surprising that it has implemented the use of structured reporting templates for more than 90% of all dictated reports. Rebecca Pryor, radiology compliance and education specialist, will discuss this initiative.

Templates for interventional radiology exams save hours in report preparation
By Cynthia E. Keen
Sunday, November 27 | 12:30 p.m.-1:00 p.m. | LL-INE1142-SUA | Lakeside Learning CenterIn this presentation, Dr. Lisa Obert, a radiology resident at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, will discuss how report templates are saving interventional radiologists, fellows, and residents 30 to 60 minutes per day in exam report preparation. For first-year residents, the time savings is even greater: one to two hours of efficiency gain each day.

Road to RSNA 2011: CT Preview
By Eric Barnes
Wide-area detectors, dual-source scanners, fast kV switching, and new contrast protocols that leverage CT's growing spatial and temporal resolution are important sides of the CT picture that will be showcased in presentations at the RSNA 2011 meeting in Chicago.

Pericolonic fat associated with adenomatous polyps
By Eric Barnes
Friday, December 2 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SST04-01 | Room E350Patients with adenomatous colorectal polyps have higher fat volume fractions than patients without these polyps, according to a multipurpose virtual colonoscopy scan. The pairing sounds obvious enough, but researchers from Bethesda, MD, believe the results suggest that pericolonic fat itself may be the culprit behind adenoma growth.

Heavy-metal contrast cuts radiation dose
By Eric Barnes
Wednesday, November 30 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSM20-02 | Room S404ABCompared with some heavy metals, iodine and barium simply don't produce enough contrast in CT to optimize dose, according to medical physicist Tristan Nowak, from the Institute of Medical Physics at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg. In a study to be presented Wednesday afternoon, his group tested several heavy metals in phantoms in the search for an eventual replacement.

2-hour prep may ease VC scheduling after optical colonoscopy
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 29 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ08-05 | Room E450BWhen a conventional colonoscopy fails to reach the cecum, virtual colonoscopy is a logical choice to complete the screening. But it can be difficult to refer these patients to VC fast enough to avoid a second bowel cleaning. Fortunately, a two-hour prep might be effective enough to spare the patient an extra trip to the clinic, according to a study being presented in a Tuesday session on VC techniques.
