Eric Barnes[email protected]Clinical NewsContrast US processing tool shows malignant liver lesionsSwiss researchers have developed a real-time parametric imaging technique for distinguishing benign from malignant liver lesions easily and noninvasively using contrast-enhanced ultrasound. In its first clinical run, the method delivered high sensitivity and specificity in a patient cohort.July 29, 2010Clinical NewsSupersized CONFIRM trial tackles coronary CTA and mortalityIn a study that probes what may be the largest database of detailed coronary CT angiography (CTA) results assembled to date, New York City researchers found an integral association between coronary artery disease and mortality at coronary CTA in patients without known heart disease.July 29, 2010Clinical NewsMinimal-prep VC gets new boost from dual-energy CTA new dual-energy CT electronic cleansing technique thoroughly outperformed an advanced single-source CT cleansing method in virtual colonoscopy in a recent study. The technique eliminated many common artifacts that have plagued investigational electronic cleansing techniques.July 20, 2010Clinical NewsCO2 volumes higher than previous reports in VCUsing more CO2 to insufflate the colon during virtual colonoscopy doesn't produce better distention, but patients with ileocecal valve incompetence -- most patients presenting for screening -- require more insufflation, say researchers from Ireland.July 5, 2010Clinical NewsCT-based Crohn's diagnosis takes aim at endoscopyGENEVA - Japanese researchers hope to supplant the invasive and time-consuming process of diagnosing Crohn's disease with a CT technique that is unaffected by intestinal stenosis and other impediments to conventional endoscopic evaluation.June 28, 2010Clinical NewsCT method measures airway calcium to diagnose lung cancerA classic duo, CT plus pulmonary function testing using spirometry, may emerge once again as a potentially effective way to diagnose lung cancer, according to an article in the July issue of Academic Radiology.June 27, 2010Clinical NewsCAD eases MRI-based herniated disk diagnosisGENEVA - Herniated lumbar disks aren't the most common back injury, but when they occur they often require surgery. And diagnosis requires tedious manual measurements -- or at least it did until researchers from London found a way to automate the process.June 27, 2010Clinical NewsDutch study quantifies factors that make PACS workGENEVA - If you really want to find out how well PACS is working at your facility, you can follow your heart, the advice of experts, or the data, as researchers from the Netherlands have done. They discussed their work on quantifying the factors that make PACS useful at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery meeting.June 24, 2010Clinical NewsTEPR founder sees big role for small systems in healthcareGENEVA - Radiology's once-clandestine toys -- mobile phone apps, iPads, iPhones, and the like -- are rising up to assume a central role in healthcare delivery, according to healthcare IT expert C. Peter Waegemann at the opening session of the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery meeting on Wednesday.June 23, 2010Clinical NewsCT speeds antiangiogenesis therapy assessmentCT perfusion imaging can spot significant changes in blood flow and volume soon after administration of antiangiogenic therapy, researchers from Munich, Germany, report in a new animal study. Faster assessment can lead to nimbler, more flexible cancer care compared to traditional tumor size measurements.June 13, 2010Previous PagePage 45 of 59Next PageTop StoriesMRIChristiane Kuhl gives insights to Der SpiegelBreast imaging pioneer Prof. Dr. Christiane Kuhl has given a Q&A interview to the German news magazine, Der Spiegel.
