Eric Barnes[email protected]Clinical NewsGerman group hones cardiac MRI for myocardial infarctionWhat's the best way to distinguish acute from chronic myocardial infarction on cardiac MRI (CMR) scans? German researchers found that native T1 and T2 mapping significantly outperform conventional measurements of the T2 ratio, and they presented their results at ECR 2017.March 27, 2017Clinical NewsTwo CCTA techniques cut iodine dose across vendorsMajor contrast reductions in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) can be achieved across vendor platforms with a couple of simple techniques, according to a Dutch presentation at this month's ECR 2017 in Vienna.March 26, 2017Advanced VisualizationColor mapping boosts vessel interpretation in stroke CTVIENNA - Color mapping of cerebral vasculature in 4D CT angiography speeds interpretation and may improve accuracy in the detection of vessel occlusions in acute stroke patients, researchers said on Sunday at ECR 2017.March 5, 2017ConferenceMRI monitors fat for bariatric surgeryVIENNA - MRI and spectroscopy can accurately measure fat volumes in bariatric patients before and after surgery, according to the results of a German study presented at ECR 2017 on Saturday.March 4, 2017ConferenceChest CT with iterative recon achieves x-ray dosesVIENNA - Chest CT scans acquired at radiation doses as low as an x-ray showed lesions of all kinds conspicuously, using the latest dual-source CT scanner and iterative reconstruction. Individualized approaches tailored to specific lesion types cut the dose even further, researchers said on Friday at ECR 2017.March 3, 2017ConferenceCAD beats readers for subsolid lung nodulesVIENNA - A computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme outperformed experienced human readers in detecting subsolid nodules as well as cancers in data from more than 2,000 lung cancer screening subjects, researchers reported on Thursday at ECR 2017.March 2, 2017ConferenceLow-osmolar contrast tied to hypotensionVIENNA - Patients receiving low-osmolar (but not iso-osmolar) contrast agents under anesthesia are prone to systemic, self-limited periods of hypotension, researchers reported on Wednesday at ECR 2017.March 1, 2017Medical, Legal, and PracticeAuntMinnieEurope.com Advanced Visualization InsiderFebruary 22, 2017Clinical NewsAlzheimer's CAD uses deep networks to boost accuracySpanish researchers have built a technique for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease based on the use of a deep-learning algorithm. The method replaces visual inspection of MRI and PET data with comprehensive image analysis of affected brain tissues that exploits their 3D nature.February 22, 2017Clinical NewsCT lung screening cost-effective with stringent criteriaRestricting eligibility for CT lung cancer screening to the heaviest smokers would make the exam more cost-effective on a population basis, according to a study published February 7 in PLOS Medicine.February 15, 2017Previous PagePage 3 of 59Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingNew data cements AI's role in breast screeningAI continues to show significant clinical promise as a second reader for breast cancer screening, a new Dutch study shows.
