They presented their findings from a new study at the RSNA 2011 congress.November 30, 2011Clinical NewsCCTA beats calcium score for detecting obstructive diseaseCHICAGO - Coronary artery calcium scoring has enormous value for predicting future cardiac events, according to decades of solid research. But it falls short of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for predicting the presence of obstructive disease in patients with acute chest pain, said researchers from Italy at the RSNA 2011 congress.November 29, 2011Advanced VisualizationVirtual colonoscopy attracts screening participantsWhen offered virtual colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening, substantially more individuals accepted the invitation compared with those who were offered conventional colonoscopy, Dutch researchers reported online November 15 in Lancet Oncology.November 21, 2011Cardiac ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderNovember 7, 2011Clinical NewsFast heart rates, abnormal rhythms boost CT dose, scan timeDifferent heart rates and rhythms have a big impact on radiation dose levels in 64-detector-row coronary CT angiography, German researchers have found in a new study published in the European Journal of Radiology.November 7, 2011Clinical NewsTool fuses CTA and perfusion MR for cardiac evaluationAn experimental software tool that combines the analytical power of coronary CT angiography (CTA) and MR perfusion images of the heart can provide a comprehensive assessment of coronary artery patency and cardiac function that is superior to examining both separately, according to a new study.October 18, 2011Clinical News'Rapid prototyping' puts CT images in doctors' handsThese days, multidetector-row CT is producing vast quantities of 3D and 4D data for diagnostic and interventional use. But for all its multidimensionality, most of the output is still served up on a flat screen. That could be changing with a process called "rapid prototyping" that creates physical models from imaging data.October 16, 2011Medical, Legal, and PracticeStudy: CT calcium screening cost-effective only in menCT-based coronary artery calcium screening in individuals at intermediate risk of heart disease is probably cost-effective for men but not women, according to an extensive new study from the Netherlands.October 11, 2011Clinical NewsPROCAS breast screening trial focuses on densityAn ambitious new breast screening study, the PROCAS (Predicting Risk of Cancer at Screening) trial, is aiming to not only answer important questions about breast density and cancer development but also evaluate the effectiveness of computer-aided detection in the screening of dense breasts.October 6, 2011Advanced VisualizationMen may require earlier colorectal cancer screeningA new analysis of colorectal adenomas found that men have significantly more advanced adenomas and colorectal cancers than women at all age groups, prompting the Austrian reserachers to recommend that men be screened earlier than women.October 5, 2011Previous PagePage 38 of 59Next PageTop StoriesMRICE MRI-based radiomics model captures DEB TACE-induced tumor changesResearchers in Germany evaluated a Siamese network model's performance in optimizing hepatocellular carcinoma treatment.CTImaging casts new light on war injuriesWomens ImagingHybrid AI reading shows success in breast cancer screeningMedical, Legal, and PracticeCooking robot gets rave reviews in TübingenMRIUltrasound plus MRI helps diagnose pain from rotator cuff tendinopathy
