By Shalmali Pal
Knee MRI has become the most frequently ordered exam, but how accurate is it for diagnosing meniscal tears?

Translucency rendering aids prepless 3D VC
By Eric Barnes
The use of primary 3D interpretation isn't generally recommended for reading reduced-prep virtual colonoscopy (VC) data. Reading is time-consuming, and 3D endoluminal views can make it difficult to distinguish from residual stool difficult. But a new study says that reading reduced-prep data in 3D is not only possible but accurate and time-efficient if a software translucency rendering tool is applied.

The total costs of VC and conventional colonoscopy were comparable even when the conventional exam and polypectomy were performed on polyps 5-6 mm or larger, according to the researchers.
