Adding CAD to virtual colonoscopy saves lives and money
By Eric Barnes
Adding computer-aided detection (CAD) increases the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of VC screening, according to a new model-based analysis. Most of the gains resulted from the use of CAD with inexperienced readers, but even with experienced readers VC cost-effectiveness improved substantially.

Virtual colonoscopy beginners do better with 3D data
By Eric Barnes
Novice virtual colonoscopy readers detect more polyps reading 3D endoluminal datasets of electronically cleansed data compared to 2D images. But experienced readers aren't daunted by either 2D datasets or fecal residues, turning in a similar performance regardless of the reading environment.

Ultrasound screens for pancreatic cancer in high-risk populations
By Eric Barnes
SAN FRANCISCO - Ultrasound detected small pancreatic cancers even CT and MRI couldn't visualize in a novel Dutch screening program aimed at high-risk patients with a family history of the disease. The researchers hope to transform their pilot study into a multicenter trial aimed at finding pancreatic cancer in high-risk patients while it's still resectable.

By Eric Barnes
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR colonography can readily distinguish benign from malignant strictures of the colon, according to Danish researchers. They said the technique could solve a diagnostic dilemma in patients with suspected colorectal cancer lesions that prevent them from undergoing conventional colonoscopy before surgery.
