Two-dimensional measurements, however, didn't fare as well.November 14, 2011Clinical NewsElastography aids detection of malignant testicular lesionsReal-time elastography is useful in assessing small testicular nodules and pseudonodules, which is relevant in clinical practice for managing testicular cancer, Italian researchers have found in a study published online first in European Radiology.November 13, 2011Clinical NewsBreast tomo equal to digital spot compressionDigital breast tomosynthesis is equal to the diagnostic accuracy of digital spot compression, Italian researchers have found. In addition, digital breast tomosynthesis has a lower mean glandular dose and has the potential to help reduce the recall rate.November 2, 2011Clinical NewsRadiotherapy cuts breast cancer recurrence risk by up to 50%After breast-conserving surgery, radiotherapy can halve the breast cancer recurrence rate and reduce breast cancer death by about a sixth, according to the Early Breast Cancer Trialists' Collaborative Group. Additionally, the proportional benefits vary little between groups, but the absolute benefits from radiotherapy vary substantially from patient to patient.October 31, 2011Clinical NewsAdding optical imaging to mammography boosts accuracyMammography plus near-infrared breast imaging is slightly -- but not significantly -- more accurate than mammography alone when it comes to detecting breast lesions, German researchers found in a recent European Radiology study.October 19, 2011Clinical NewsAustrian research focuses on obese kids' knee damageMorbidly obese children and adolescents show major abnormalities in their knee cartilage, but whether obesity alone is the causal factor of these changes remains to be determined, according to a prospective study published online in European Radiology.October 4, 2011Clinical NewsNovel x-ray computer model avoids need for repeat exposuresA digitally reconstructed radiograph computer algorithm has been produced -- and validated -- that adequately simulates anatomical and system noise. The image evaluators grade simulated chest x-rays at different exposure parameters to optimize radiographic technique for clinical computed radiography without repeat patient exposures.September 27, 2011Womens ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Women's Imaging InsiderSeptember 26, 2011Clinical NewsNew innovations give added impetus to breast ultrasoundWhen it comes to breast ultrasound, combining B-mode, Doppler techniques, and elastography can help improve true-positive and true-negative diagnosis results by reducing the operator's influence on the outcome, according to an Austrian expert.September 26, 2011Previous PagePage 41 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
