Rebekah Moan[email protected]Clinical NewsPerfusion CT can help assess coronary artery diseaseCT angiography has carved out a niche in heart imaging thanks to its ability to display cardiac morphology. But German researchers think it could have a role to play in functional imaging as well with the use of a dynamic CT perfusion technique they've developed that measures myocardial blood flow.July 11, 2011Clinical NewsGerman group reports progress on dedicated breast CTDedicated breast CT has long been proffered as a potential rival to mammography for breast screening, but early prototype systems have been limited by higher radiation dose and lower resolution. In a new paper in European Radiology, however, Willi Kalender, PhD, reports progress in addressing both concerns.June 26, 2011Clinical NewsCT predicts cardiovascular events in symptomatic patientsCT is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events in symptomatic subjects, according to a meta-analysis conducted by German researchers and presented at the recent International Society for Computed Tomography meeting in San Francisco.June 22, 2011Clinical NewsMore experience leads to fewer false positives in breast studyThe more experience a radiologist has, the lower the risk of a false-positive result in breast cancer screening, according to a new study in European Radiology. Researchers from Spain also found that recent experience has a greater effect than cumulative experience in reducing false positives.June 21, 2011Clinical NewsHigh-risk cardiac patients benefit from HD CT scanningSAN FRANCISCO - A U.K. practice found that for chest pain patients with low amounts of heart calcium, high-definition (HD) CT provides little benefit. But high-risk patients or those with pre-existing disease might benefit, according to a study at this week's International Society for Computed Tomography meeting.June 15, 2011Clinical NewsIterative reconstruction can reduce CT dose by 40%SAN FRANCISCO - Iterative reconstruction helps tremendously when it comes to CT scanning. But the real advancement in reconstruction is model-based iterative reconstruction, which reduces dose to levels that could alter the way CT is used in the future, according to a presentation by U.K. researchers at this week's International Society for Computed Tomography meeting.June 13, 2011Clinical NewsReferring doctors prefer approachable radiologistsDoes the implementation of a PACS network reduce the value that referring physicians place on radiologists and their reports? Not necessarily, as long as clinicians perceive that radiologists are still approachable, according to a new study published in Insights into Imaging.June 1, 2011Womens ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Women's Imaging InsiderMay 30, 2011Clinical NewsDigital mammo elicits higher positive predictive valuesDigital mammography provides higher positive predictive values than film-screen mammography for both further assessments and invasive procedures, according to Spanish researchers. The greatest improvement, however, was found for masses, they reported in a study in European Radiology.May 30, 2011Clinical NewsMobile chest DR outperforms CR at bedsideMobile chest digital radiography (DR) provides superior image quality to computed radiography (CR) at the bedside, Dutch researchers found in a study published in Clinical Radiology. In addition, DR studies produce 50% less radiation dose without the loss of diagnostic information.May 23, 2011Previous PagePage 43 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
