The improved efficiency may help convince clinicians that cardiac 4D MRI is useful for assessing valvular heart disease.November 4, 2018Clinical NewsU.K. team confirms safety of weekly breast radiation therapyA larger, weekly dose of radiation therapy has side effects that are comparable with those from conventional daily treatments for early-stage breast cancer, said U.K. researchers, who shared their findings on 21 October at the American Society for Radiation Oncology meeting in San Antonio, Texas.October 24, 2018Clinical NewsAuntMinnieEurope.com Advanced Visualization InsiderOctober 8, 2018Clinical NewsDutch report success with augmented reality of brainDutch researchers have used augmented reality to help pinpoint brain tumors before surgically removing them. They found the technique was nearly as accurate as standard neuronavigation, and it has helped improve understanding of the anatomy and efficiency during a procedure.October 8, 2018Market AnalysisChina takes the helm in augmented reality marketChinese investments into computer vision and augmented reality technologies -- including for medical imaging applications -- have dramatically surpassed those of Europe and the U.S. in recent months, according to a new report from business consultants Digi-Capital.October 8, 2018Clinical NewsAugmented reality guides screw placement in spinal surgeryResearchers from Sweden have used augmented reality navigation technology to overlay 3D conebeam CT scans onto a real-time video of patients undergoing spinal surgery, according to a recent article in Spine. The technique improved the accuracy of implanting pedicle screws in these patients.September 30, 2018Clinical NewsNELSON gives Europeans go-ahead for CT lung screeningCT lung cancer screening got a big boost this week from researchers in the Dutch-Belgian Randomized Lung Cancer Screening (NELSON) trial, who at the 2018 World Conference on Lung Cancer in Toronto reported a 26% mortality reduction for men in the trial. The findings could give the green light to CT lung screening in Europe.September 26, 2018Clinical News3D-printed guides cut maxillofacial surgery time by 33%Swiss researchers have created patient-specific 3D-printed surgical guides to enhance the visualization of craniomaxillofacial fractures. Planning facial reconstruction using these 3D-printed models led to significant reductions in operating time and costs.September 6, 2018Clinical NewsCCTA biomarker may predict mortality from heart diseaseThe use of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) to measure fatty tissue around arteries could help predict the risk of mortality from heart disease, according to research published online on 28 August in the Lancet and being presented at the European Society of Cardiology congress in Munich.August 28, 2018Previous PagePage 9 of 14Next PageTop StoriesMedical, Legal, and PracticeCooking robot gets rave reviews in TübingenHospital food doesn’t have to be drab and dreary.
