Rebekah Moan[email protected]Imaging InformaticsESR survey: Patient confidentiality, consent policies are outdatedMonitoring of access to confidential patient imaging information hasn't kept up with changes in technology, according to the results of a survey by the European Society of Radiology (ESR). In addition, Europe lacks clear guidelines on patient confidentiality and invasion of privacy, as well as updated patient consent policies.April 4, 2013Clinical NewsMRI pinpoints biomarker; screening and late-stage breast cancer; extracardiac diseaseApril 2, 2013Clinical NewsThe 'science' at scientific meetings; new CT protocol optimizes alerts; MRI & dementiaMarch 26, 2013Clinical NewsNew CT protocol aims to optimize radiation dose alertsBelgian researchers have developed a new method designed to sharply reduce the number of clinically irrelevant radiation dose alerts produced by commercial radiation dose-monitoring software.March 26, 2013ConferenceAdding digital tomo to mammography boosts cancer detection rateVIENNA - Adding digital breast tomosynthesis to digital mammography increased the breast cancer detection rate from 1.26% to 2.03%, in a study from Spain presented on Monday at ECR 2013.March 11, 2013ConferenceStructured reports can improve quality and workflow efficiencyVIENNA - Harder, better, faster, stronger: It's not just a song, it could also be the mantra for radiologists as they try to improve workflow efficiency and quality. Enhancing radiology reports and becoming more familiar with dose management regulations and registries can help in this process.March 10, 2013ConferenceUtilizing MR for dense breasts saves biopsies, moneyVIENNA - Adding dense breasts as a new standard indication for MR mammography in cases with unclear findings could ward off approximately 88% of biopsies and end up saving insurance companies money, according to research presented on Sunday morning at ECR 2013.March 9, 2013ConferenceExcitement builds over digital breast tomosynthesisVIENNA - Will digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) replace mammography for breast cancer screening? The answer depends on how well the modality performs in some forthcoming clinical trials, according to two experts in Sunday's special focus session at ECR 2013.March 9, 2013ConferenceIncluding menopause as factor aids breast US performanceVIENNA - Menopause has an important influence on breast elasticity as measured by elasticity parameters, according to study results presented this week at ECR 2013. Taking this factor into consideration may help improve the diagnostic performance of breast sonoelastography, the researchers found.March 8, 2013ConferenceAirport security scanners carry some radiation riskVIENNA - Airport security scanners are safe for individuals, but when their effects are considered collectively, there is still a risk of cancer developing due to the machines, ECR 2013 delegates learned at a standing-room-only session on Thursday afternoon.March 7, 2013Previous PagePage 32 of 45Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingDutch authors cast light on uterine fibroidsResearchers have shared their clinical experiences of how ultrasound and MRI can assess blood flow and vasculature in uterine fibroids.CTDL algorithm estimates lung nodule cancer risk, reduces false positivesMolecular ImagingNeuroinflammation persists for 2 years in long COVIDMRIChatGPT gathers momentum in MR imagingCTLow-dose CT ties emphysema to mortality in previous smokers
