CT-guided cryoablation safe for kidney lesions
By Eric Barnes
Friday, December 3 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SST16-01 | Room E353BThere's more than one way to kill a kidney cancer without surgery. Freezing renal tumors percutaneously is safe and effective and delivers very low complication rates, say researchers from Duke University in Durham, NC.

TEA edges out TACE for ablation of unresectable HCC
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 11:45 a.m.-11:55 a.m. | SSA24-07 | Room E350Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard ablation method for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but transarterial ethanol ablation (TEA) may gain a foothold as an alternative method due to its potential for better outcomes, Hong Kong researchers report.

Risk factors predict need for eventual reintervention after aneurysm repair
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 11:15 a.m.-11:25 a.m. | SSA23-04 | Room E352What are the chances an endovascular aneurysm repair for an abdominal aortic aneurysm will need reintervention? Using computer-aided detection, one can predict the odds before the procedure takes place -- and even better postoperatively, as soon as the patient is sewn up, say researchers from Kingston University in London.

Fusion imaging system enables ablation of liver tumors undetectable at US
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA24-03 | Room E350A real-time fusion imaging system that combines ultrasound with CT or MRI allows liver tumors to be targeted and ablated that otherwise would not have been detected on ultrasound, according to this study to be presented on Sunday.

CT attenuation changes after RFA predict 6-month HCC outcomes
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 10:55 a.m.-11:05 a.m. | SSA24-02 | Room E350Patients destined to show signs of recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions reveal different CT attenuation patterns within 24 hours of the procedure, according to researchers from Mexico.

Technical issues render US-guided HCC ablation unfeasible
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 10:45 a.m.-10:55 a.m. | SSA24-01 | Room E350Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation is one of the best options for patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions, which are often considered inoperable. But the procedure is technically unfeasible in nearly 40% of candidates for a variety of reasons, say researchers from South Korea.

Natural language processing helps mine data on follow-up imaging exams
By Cynthia E. Keen
Tuesday, November 30 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSG08-03 | Room S402ABIn this scientific session, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston discuss how they used a natural language processing program to mine data to analyze trends in recommendation rates over a 16-year period for high-cost versus low-cost imaging exams following a primary abdominal ultrasound study.

More docs using MRI to follow up equivocal results in abdomen
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 29 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSC07-03 | Room S102DMore clinicians are recommending further MRI exams more often after initial abdominal MRIs prove equivocal, according to researchers from Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Automated 3D method may replace manual renal cortex segmentation
By Erik L. Ridley
Sunday, November 28 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA09-06 | Room E351In this Sunday presentation, a research team from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) will share its success with an automated 3D renal cortex segmentation technique for abdominal CT images.
