Abraham Kim[email protected]ConferenceVR, AR elevate radiologists' value in future of medicineHow can virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) help radiologists advance their specialty's value in healthcare? Researchers from the Netherlands, Sweden, and the U.K. drew from their experiences with the technologies to discuss the possibilities in a Coffee and Talk session at ECR 2019.March 3, 2019ConferenceCT system developers utilize AI to boost patient careDisease detection with CT has benefited greatly from advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) software during the past year. To make the case at the ECR 2019 technical exhibition, many vendors are dedicating their CT booth presentations to the integration of AI into the modality. The rewards for patient care are visible for all delegates to see during this week's congress.March 1, 2019ConferenceDose monitoring optimizes whole-body CT in ItalyBy monitoring CT dose and adjusting protocols at their institution, researchers from Italy were able to identify the optimal parameters for reducing cancer patients' exposure to radiation from whole-body CT exams, without lowering image quality. They presented their findings on Wednesday at ECR 2019 in Vienna.February 27, 2019Artificial IntelligenceAI predicts ovarian cancer survival on CT scansResearchers from the U.K. and Australia have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm capable of predicting the survival rate of patients with ovarian cancer by analyzing their contrast-enhanced CT scans, according to an article published online on 15 February in Nature Communications.February 15, 2019Clinical News3D printing advances in ear, nose, and throatA group of international researchers has highlighted that 3D printing is emerging as a key technology in the management of ear, nose, and throat conditions. In an article recently published online in Laryngoscope, they contend that the growing demand for 3D printing will bolster collaboration between radiologists and otolaryngologists.February 13, 2019Clinical NewsDutch team calls for urgent change in pediatric head CTThere is a strong and clear need for changes to CT protocols for children with minor head injuries, say researchers from the Netherlands who have discovered that strict adherence to the current national guidelines was associated with overuse of the modality. Their findings were published online on 5 February in Acta Paediatrica.February 10, 2019Artificial IntelligenceRussian AI detects lung cancer on CT in 20 secondsResearchers from Russia have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) program called Doctor AI-zimov that is capable of identifying and marking lung nodules -- some as small as 2 mm -- on CT scans in under 20 seconds.February 3, 20193D PrintingAuntMinnieEurope.com Advanced Visualization InsiderJanuary 30, 2019Clinical NewsDual-energy CT enhances segmentation for 3D printingResearchers from Germany and the U.S. have created 3D-printed models based on dual-energy CT scans, which improved the efficiency of image segmentation within the 3D printing workflow compared with using conventional CT, according to an article recently published online in 3D Printing in Medicine.January 30, 2019Clinical NewsNovel method automates noncontrast 3D CT segmentationDutch and Danish researchers have developed a fully automated technique to segment and collect measurements of the aorta from noncontrast 3D CT scans, according to an article published online on 23 January in European Radiology. The technique proved to be as effective as standard manual methods.January 28, 2019Previous PagePage 7 of 14Next PageTop StoriesMedical, Legal, and PracticeCooking robot gets rave reviews in TübingenHospital food doesn’t have to be drab and dreary.
