Software application analyzes contrast ultrasound liver images
By Brian Casey
Tuesday, December 1 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSG06-02 | Room E353CAs ultrasound contrast becomes more widely used (at least outside the U.S.), software is becoming available to analyze contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) images. In this Tuesday morning scientific session presentation, Swiss researchers will discuss their use of a commercially available software application for analyzing CEUS images of focal liver lesions.

Korean facility sets up program to audit breast screening outcomes
By Brian Casey
Tuesday, December 1 | 10:20 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | VB31-08 | Arie Crown TheaterBreast ultrasound has become a useful tool as an adjunct to screening mammography, but how well would the modality stand on its own as a screening exam? In this presentation, Korean researchers will address this question as it pertains to patient populations who might not be suited to regular mammography screening.

Practice optimization helps reduce ultrasound report turnaround time
By Brian Casey
Monday, November 30 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSE12-04 | Room S102DReport turnaround time (TAT) has become one of the most important metrics for assessing the quality of a radiology group or facility. In this Monday presentation, researchers from Mount Sinai Medical Center will describe how they implemented a program that reduced TAT for ultrasound studies by 25%.

MRI volume navigation adds accuracy to second-look breast ultrasound
By Brian Casey
Sunday, November 29 | 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m. | LL-BR4062-B07 | Lakeside Learning CenterSecond-look ultrasound has become a useful technique for gaining additional information on lesions first identified on breast MRI scans. In this Sunday afternoon presentation, Italian researchers go a step further by adding a magnetic-based volume navigation system that enables the fusion of breast ultrasound and MRI scans.

Ultrasound elastography falls short in reducing breast biopsies
By Brian Casey
Sunday, November 29 | 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m. | LL-BR4058-B03 | Lakeside Learning CenterUltrasound elastography is a promising technique for a number of applications, one of which could be reducing the number of unnecessary breast biopsies by enabling clinicians to characterize suspicious tissue. However, Korean researchers on Sunday will discuss how they found that elastography fell short for this application.

MRI accurately determines breast tumor size at surgery
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSJ01-06 | Arie Crown TheaterWomen with advanced breast cancer are more frequently undergoing chemotherapy before surgery, and MRI is the best way for doctors to assess the size of breast tumors at this treatment juncture, according to researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine.

MRI follow-up prudent when breast MRI biopsy cancelled
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ01-03 | Arie Crown TheaterAn inability to see the original lesion at MRI biopsy may be influenced by both hormonal and nonhormonal factors, according to researchers from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. And if this happens, short-term follow-up with breast MRI may be appropriate.

DW-MRI is beneficial in pelvic lymph node detection
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 30 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSE11-03 | Room E353BResearchers at Bern University Hospital in Switzerland will discuss their use of diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) to detect pelvic lymph node metastases with a high negative predictive value, even in normal-sized nodes.

German researchers successfully test SPACE sequence for brain metastases
By Wayne Forrest
Sunday, November 29 | 11:55 a.m.-12:05 p.m. | SSA15-08 | Room N226U.S. and German researchers will discuss their development of a work-in-progress 3D T1-weighted fast spin-echo sequence (SPACE) technique, which has shown an ability to detect brain metastases with 3-tesla MRI.
