ACR committee offers tips for incidental thyroid nodules
By Erik L. Ridley
It can be hard to determine how to manage thyroid nodules detected incidentally on imaging exams. However, an American College of Radiology (ACR) committee hopes its new white paper will help those decisions be more consistent, lead to lower costs, and avoid unnecessary patient anxiety and potential morbidity.

3D reconstruction helps explore cochlear implant issues
By Erik L. Ridley
Sunday, November 30 | 11:15 a.m.-11:25 a.m. | SSA16-04 | Room N226In this talk, German researchers will show how 3D reconstructions helped determine that a small volume of the inner ear and cochlea isn't to blame for poor outcomes from cochlear implants.

Cerebral angiographic data reconstructed from time-resolved CTP
By Eric Barnes
Friday, December 5 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SST14-09 | Room S403BWavelet analysis is a powerful method of displaying angiographic data from CT perfusion (CTP) and for separating arterial and venous flow patterns. Can it be used to visualize the vascular tree from CTP data in stroke patients, eliminating the need for a separate angiography exam routinely performed for that purpose?

Promising new MRI technique provides insight into stroke
By Wayne Forrest
Researchers from several institutions have used a 21-tesla preclinical MR spectroscopy scanner to develop a new technique for evaluating patients for stroke and possibly neurodegenerative diseases. They believe the protocol could be migrated to 3- and 7-tesla MRI scanners being used clinically.
