Now, they are zeroing in on a precise role for this unique technology.July 27, 2010Clinical NewsDigital radiography falls short in lung cancer screening trialWhile establishing the feasibility of digital radiography (DR) for lung cancer screening, a Dutch study has questioned the practicality of DR as a substitute for CT in detecting lung masses, according to a study published in the May issue of Radiology.April 26, 2010Previous PagePage 2 of 2Top StoriesCTIodine use can be cut in postmortem CT angiographyFindings suggest the decades-old standard protocol can be optimized to prevent potential pollution.MRIInside the scanner: How VR puts clinicians in anxious patients' shoesMRIGadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI changing understanding of liver diseasesCTDeep-learning model predicts mortality from CTA scansMolecular ImagingCHILI 9.0: Dynamic PET moves beyond tumor detection
