MR fingerprinting returns -- and hopefully disappears again
By Dr. Peter Rinck, PhD
Some cardiologists have scientific shortcomings in imaging science, the Maverinck believes. The experiments, methods, and results described went out of date years ago; even dressed in "new clothes" they are inadequate and deficient in precision and accuracy, he writes. Radiologists have their own new clothes: MR fingerprinting.

New breast tomo CAD shows high sensitivity
By Eric Barnes
A new computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm for digital breast tomosynthesis studies delivers high sensitivity and an acceptably low false-positive rate, according to Italian researchers. In a retrospective study of nearly 200 women who underwent DBT for breast cancer screening, CAD demonstrated sensitivity of 89% with a false-positive rate of 2.7 per breast.

CTC CAD boosts readers' attention -- but to what effect?
By Eric Barnes
The use of computer-aided detection (CAD) significantly alters the search and identification of polyps among readers of CT colonography (CTC) data, according to a new study in the June issue of European Radiology. In particular, CAD drew radiologists' attention to polyps more quickly, but it also prompted them to spend more time interpreting scans.
