Rebekah Moan[email protected]Advanced VisualizationRadiographers' role in CT colonography comes under scrutinyRadiographers have a greater capacity for triaging extracolonic findings at CT colonography after training, but they may still not be of significant support to radiologists, Dutch researchers said at the recent European Congress of Radiology.March 27, 2012Clinical NewsCAD can help with initial reads in breast screeningUsing computer-aided detection (CAD) as a preliminary reader in screening mammography may reduce radiologists' workload by nearly half. That's the key finding of a large study conducted by researchers from Jerusalem and presented at this month's European Congress of Radiology.March 22, 2012Clinical NewsCTA identifies outliers, aids prognosis in CAD patientsVIENNA - CT angiography (CTA) can act as a gatekeeper in coronary artery disease (CAD), identifying outlier patients and thus enabling dedicated trials to characterize biomarkers and genomics of protective/antiprotective factors, according to a leading Italian cardiac radiologist.March 7, 2012ConferenceDiagnostic reference levels outdated in Irish RepublicVIENNA - Radiation dose is always a concern, and diagnostic reference levels are helpful in keeping dose in check; however, some places such as the Republic of Ireland are working with outdated guidelines that need to be updated, according to a presentation on Sunday at the European Congress of Radiology.March 3, 2012ConferenceSwitching to digital mammo increases recall rate, study findsVIENNA - A low recall rate in combination with the introduction of digital mammography affects the balance between recall rate and detection rate, which can influence breast cancer care and the associated costs, according to a session at the European Congress of Radiology.March 3, 2012ConferenceModality choice poses difficulties in hip joint replacementVIENNA - Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most effective and rapidly growing orthopedic reconstruction procedures. This means radiologists can expect to see many more hip prosthesis failures over the coming years, but deciding which imaging modality to use to detect them remains problematic.March 3, 2012ConferenceCAD could become a second reader in breast imagingVIENNA - The use of computer-aided detection (CAD) in breast cancer screening is quickly approaching the level of experienced radiologists and may soon be used as a second or third reader, said a presenter on Saturday morning at the European Congress of Radiology.March 2, 2012ConferenceNew technology could become next primary breast cancer screenerVIENNA - Multimodal tomography, a 3D nonionizing diagnostic imaging technology, may one day overtake mammography as the primary breast screening method considering its high sensitivity and specificity, according to a Thursday presentation at the European Congress of Radiology.March 1, 2012ConferenceDigital breast tomosynthesis will replace mammographyVIENNA - In 10 years, breast tomosynthesis will replace full-field digital mammography because of its higher sensitivity, enhanced image quality, and ability to image dense breasts, predicted a presenter at the European Congress of Radiology on Thursday.February 29, 2012ConferenceFunctional breast techniques receive cautious vote of confidenceVIENNA - Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR mammography is a sensitive method for detecting breast cancer because it highlights tumor vasculature, but diagnostic results may vary depending on reader experience. Diffusion-weighted imaging and MR spectroscopy aim to address this issue, and are continuing to show promise, according to a refresher course at the European Congress of Radiology.February 29, 2012Previous PagePage 38 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
