New efforts urged to 'save' pediatric radiology

By Eric Barnes

According to a recent Society of Pediatric Radiology report, 100 pediatric radiology positions went unfilled in the U.S. in 2003, and by the end of 2004 the total had risen to 117. Is the subspecialty in crisis? The authors of a June Radiology editorial think so, and suggest a number of creative ideas for reinventing pediatric radiology.

Complex cardiothoracic surgery benefits from 3D imaging

By N. Shivapriya

Three-dimensional CT images are more than just pretty pictures when it comes to cardiothoracic surgery. Viewing 3D real-time images along with 2D ones can alter surgical plans for complex cases, and even increase a surgeon's confidence in the plan, according to a new study by researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Prepless VC yields high sensitivity in average-risk subjects

By Eric Barnes

Virtual colonoscopy researchers in Italy have steered a tough combination of study constraints all the way to a successful outcome. Beginning with a prepless exam and ultralow-dose CT protocol, the group produced high sensitivity and a high negative predictive value for VC in an average-risk asymptomatic patient population.

3D topological thinning improves colon centerline tracking in VC

By Eric Barnes

In a new study, researchers from Dublin City University in Ireland solved the problem of computational overload in a common task required of software for 3D endoluminal views of the colon. They found that automated colon centerlines can be calculated much faster with the use of a lookup table in the topological data thinning algorithm.
