The technology led to improved operating times and surgical proficiency.June 30, 2019Medical, Legal, and PracticeRadiology's error leads to patient death, reports HSJRadiologists at University Hospitals Plymouth National Health Service Trust in the U.K. failed to spot a hemorrhage on the CT scan of an elderly patient, resulting in his early discharge and subsequent death, according to a 21 June article in the Health Service Journal (HSJ).June 24, 2019Clinical NewsGermany releases new data on CT lung screeningFresh statistics from the German Lung Cancer Screening Intervention trial have shown that CT lung cancer screening reduced cancer mortality by 69% in high-risk female smokers, but the test offered less of a benefit to men. The results were published online on 4 June in the International Journal of Cancer.June 17, 2019Clinical NewsAugmented reality beats MRI for identifying liver tumorsNorwegian researchers have accurately identified liver tumors more quickly by examining 3D models with augmented reality (AR) technology compared with looking at conventional MRI scans. Whereas MR or CT images require clinicians to mentally reconstruct a 3D view of liver vessels and lesions, AR eliminates the need for this step, they say.June 5, 2019Clinical NewsMilan group uses AR, 3D printing to assist in heart surgeryInvestigators from a top Italian facility have employed augmented reality (AR) and 3D printing to plan surgery for a woman with major health complications, including ovarian cancer and an atrial septal defect. They outlined their experience in a case study.June 4, 2019Clinical NewsRadiologists rally in support of medical 3D printingClinicians, including radiologists, who attended a 3D printing course unanimously agreed that the technology has the potential to benefit the management of cardiovascular disease; nearly all expressed an interest in learning more, according to an article published on 20 May in the International Journal of Artificial Organs.May 28, 2019Clinical News3D MRI captures changes to fetal head during birthResearchers from France have used 3D MRI to visualize changes to the shape of the fetal brain and skull during the second stage of labor. The images revealed that fetal heads may experience greater stress than previously imagined, according to an article published online on 15 May in PLOS One.May 15, 20193D PrintingAuntMinnieEurope.com Advanced Visualization InsiderMay 8, 2019Clinical NewsAR, 3D printing advance navigation for spine surgeryAugmented reality (AR) and 3D printing provide clinicians with new alternatives for image-guided spine surgery that involve less radiation exposure and improve the accuracy of implanting pedicle screws, according to two recent studies from separate teams of Swiss and Italian researchers.May 8, 2019Clinical NewsItalians use AR to bolster prostate cancer surgeryItalian researchers have used augmented reality (AR) technology to overlay dynamic virtual 3D models based on MRI scans directly onto patient anatomy. In a recent article in European Urology, they found their method to be highly effective for prostate cancer surgery.May 5, 2019Previous PagePage 5 of 14Next PageTop StoriesMRIUltrasound plus MRI helps diagnose pain from rotator cuff tendinopathyThe two modalities complement each other for this indication, according to a team of Turkish researchers.Medical, Legal, and PracticePressure grows for more rigorous financial disclosureMRIMRI, CT findings correlate for assessing epicardial fat volumeRadiology EducationESR survey put focus on radiology subspecializationWomens ImagingAlgorithms from AI mammography challenge perform well
