Eric Barnes[email protected]Clinical NewsNuclear cardiology lab cuts radiation dose by 60%A large nuclear cardiology lab was able to reduce its average radiation dose by 60% over the past eight years, according to new research presented on Friday at the International Conference on Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT in Vienna and published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.May 7, 2017Clinical NewsWomen may need less frequent CT lung cancer screeningWomen may need less frequent CT lung cancer screening than men, according to a study to be presented on 6 May at the European Lung Cancer Conference in Geneva. The finding could enable physicians to reduce CT screening frequency (and thus exposure to radiation) in women.May 1, 2017Clinical NewsPhoton-counting breast CT shows promiseTests of a prototype photon-counting detector breast CT scanner show that the system could be useful as an adjunct to low-dose breast CT by separating the energy levels of different types of materials within the breast to assess tissue composition and improve cancer diagnosis.April 30, 2017Clinical NewsLung-RADS category 4X helps diagnose lung cancerThe addition of category 4X lesions in the Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) imaging scheme adds value and increases malignancy yields among experienced radiologists, according to a Dutch study in Radiology. The 4X nodules turn out to be malignant in half of cases.April 26, 2017Clinical NewsLow doses can make DSCT cardiac perfusion routineThe latest generation dual-source CT (DSCT) scanner cuts the radiation dose of cardiac CT perfusion enough to make it suitable for daily practice, according to new research. Expanded z-axis coverage and better signal-to-noise ratios can offer more information on myocardial blood flow.April 24, 2017Clinical NewsAuntMinnieEurope.com Advanced Visualization InsiderApril 10, 2017AIItalians show CAD improves prostate biopsy targetingAn artificial intelligence-based computer-aided detection (CAD) system that analyzes prostate MR images for tumors improves the targeting of core biopsies for cancer diagnosis, according to Italian research presented at ECR 2017. With fine-tuning, the system could improve patient care.April 10, 2017Clinical NewsQuality of China's radiology research improvesImaging research in mainland China has witnessed significant advances in the past decade, as evidenced in part by articles published in Radiology and European Radiology, according to a recent paper in European Radiology.April 9, 2017Clinical NewsIR with CAD permits ultralow lung CT doseIterative reconstruction (IR) can improve lung nodule detection with 3D computer-aided detection (CAD) to the point where nodule detection using ultralow-dose CT is comparable with standard and low-dose exposures, according to researchers from Japan presenting at ECR 2017 in Vienna.April 9, 2017Clinical NewsAuntMinnieEurope.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderMarch 27, 2017Previous PagePage 2 of 59Next PageTop StoriesECR 2026When systems go down: Radiology under disasterMost radiology disaster plans are stored on a server -- and most servers go down in a disaster.Radiation Oncology/TherapyTailoring breast radiotherapy to women's risk leads to successECR 2026Calcium, cash, and cardiovascular reckoning: Can Europe's new heart plan deliver?CTEmphysema predicts CAC progression among LCS participantsClinical NewsResearchers to develop 'patient-centered' imaging assessment tool
