Eric Barnes[email protected]Clinical NewsTechnique boosts x-ray CAD results for TBDutch researchers have developed an algorithm to improve the robustness of computer-aided detection (CAD) to identify tuberculosis (TB) on chest x-rays -- enabling CAD to significantly improve the detection of thoracic abnormalities.February 4, 2015Cardiac ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderJanuary 26, 2015Clinical NewsLumen area at CCTA predicts significance of stenosisMeasuring the minimal lumen area of coronary arteries scanned at coronary CT angiography (CCTA) can help distinguish lesions that are hemodynamically significant from those that are not, reducing the number of false positives, according to a new study by researchers from Austria.January 26, 2015Clinical NewsCT yields lower calcium scores in obese patientsCoronary artery calcium scores are underestimated significantly in larger patients compared with smaller ones -- enough to potentially alter their risk stratification, according to researchers from the Netherlands.January 22, 2015Clinical NewsSpectral imaging with DSCT edges out multienergy CTIn a world of multiple emerging spectral CT technologies, it's impossible to know which competing method will ultimately deliver the best image for the dose. But right now dual-source CT (DSCT) edges out the others, say German researchers.January 20, 20153D PrintingAuntMinnieEurope.com Advanced Visualization InsiderJanuary 19, 2015Clinical NewsWavelet algorithm transforms cerebral CT angiographyVisualization of cerebral vessels at CT angiography can be vastly improved with the use of a novel technique called wavelet transform, which boosts signal-to-noise ratios as much as ninefold in 3D datasets and improves image quality overall, according to German researchers.January 19, 2015Clinical NewsLarge-nodule lung CAD shows high accuracyResearchers in the Netherlands have developed a new computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme that can pick up large pulmonary nodules at thoracic CT, plugging a disappointing gap in current CAD technology.January 18, 2015SocioeconomicFrench specialists join GPs in 2nd week of strikeFrench general practitioners (GPs) in private practice have extended their strike for a second week, joined once again by their specialist colleagues in radiology, cardiology, and pediatrics, according to French news reports.December 28, 2014Clinical NewsMotion casts bigger shadow than iterative reconstruction on calcium scoresCHICAGO - Fast-moving coronary arteries exert a huge influence on coronary calcium scores, but not all scores go in the same direction, according to new research from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.December 2, 2014Previous PagePage 19 of 59Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingUnfilled vacancies and disparities persist in nuclear medicineNuclear medicine specialists have high career satisfaction, but unfilled vacancies and career disparities persist, finds a workforce survey by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM).Molecular ImagingPET develops key clinical role in neuroendocrine tumorsMolecular ImagingPET/CT visualizes complications in patients on hemodialysisCTAll roads lead to outsourcingMRIZonal segmentation with AI shows promise in prostate cancer
