Eric Barnes[email protected]Clinical NewsHigh-pitch stent assessment drives down dosePhysicians in Singapore are evaluating stent patency using extremely low radiation doses with the aid of dual-source MDCT, according to a presentation at the recent Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography meeting in Denver.August 2, 2011Advanced VisualizationStudy argues against colorectal polyp surveillanceFrench researchers are recommending against polyp surveillance for small colorectal lesions 6 to 9 mm in diameter, according to a new study in the August issue of Digestive and Liver Disease. The relatively high prevalence of advanced dysplasia in 6- to 9-mm lesions at colonoscopy renders the practice inadvisable, they said.July 28, 2011Clinical NewsStem cell regeneration of heart tissue methods await refiningAn original paper in European Radiology scans the many promising developments in stem cell regeneration of cardiac tissue following myocardial infarction. Researchers from the Netherlands find there is no "best method" in cell tracking but rather an array of techniques.July 26, 2011Cardiac ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderJuly 11, 2011Clinical NewsWhat MRI can (and can't yet) do for cardiac imagingMRI opens a window into heart disease that is more specialized and more powerful than other imaging methods. Still, many of MRI's best diagnostic tools remain clumsy and time-consuming, its images burdened by artifacts, and its results unproven, said a presenter at an MRI symposium in Berlin.July 11, 2011Imaging InformaticsOpen-source software fills niche needs in medicineShould you join the open-source software movement? A presenter at the recent Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) congress considers open-source software a great idea and outlined a way for interested medical researchers to try their hand at open-source software development.June 27, 2011Advanced VisualizationCT reveals gender differences in metabolic syndromeMen and women show important differences in the fat distribution patterns associated with metabolic syndrome as visualized on CT, according to a new study. The research was based on low-dose images acquired for virtual colonoscopy screening, hinting at potentially added value for VC studies.June 26, 2011Clinical NewsPET/MRI at 9.4T promises gains in neuroimagingBERLIN - The marriage of PET and ultrahigh-field MRI offers a world of intriguing possibilities in neuroimaging -- including tools to analyze complex neural mechanisms and improve physicians' understanding of neurological disease processes, according to a presentation at the Scientific Symposium on Ultrahigh Field Magnetic Resonance.June 23, 2011Clinical NewsCARS: Flawed methodology invalidates many breast CAD studiesBERLIN - For decades researchers have been evaluating computer-aided detection (CAD) software to see if it can find more breast cancers. But most of these studies are invalid, charged a U.S. researcher in a presentation at the 2011 Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) congress.June 22, 2011Clinical NewsCARS: Personalized medicine at last reaches the patientBERLIN - Planning for the era of personalized medicine -- a science and an art that combines genetics and patient histories with imaging and population-based atlases -- is finally giving way to real treatment of real patients, according to a presentation on the first day of the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting.June 21, 2011Previous PagePage 40 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
