Could the New Stratus Imaging PACS Viewer Help Streamline Radiology Workflows?
September 9th 2022Offering a variety of features to enhance efficiency, bolster security and reduce IT overhead, the cloud-native SaaS platform may help radiologists minimize workflow issues that can impede practices with high imaging volume.
New Study Suggests Lung-Related Comorbidities Have No Impact on Lung Cancer Detection
September 8th 2022Comparing patients with and without comorbidities ranging from emphysema and tuberculosis to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), researchers found that cancer detection rates and false-positive rates remained similar in lung cancer screening.
Will a New Spectral CT Imaging Suite Reinvent Interventional Radiology?
September 7th 2022Amid emerging research showing the benefits of spectral computed tomography (CT) imaging in interventional radiology, the newly launched Phillips Spectral Angio CT Suite may provide enhanced efficiencies in care for stroke, oncology, and trauma patients.
Emerging AI CT Tool May Provide Viable Complement to Lung-RADS Classification
September 6th 2022Researchers suggest that an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered risk stratification tool for lung nodules identified on computed tomography (CT) scans may identify likely malignancies more than one year prior to definitive diagnosis.
Is CT Imaging Overutilized in the ER?
August 30th 2022Emerging research findings suggest the use of single-encounter thoraco-abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) per 1,000 trauma-related emergency department (ED) visits more than quadrupled for minor injuries and more than doubled for intermediate injuries from 2011 to 2018.
Judy Yee, MD, FACR Receives Gold Medal Honors from the Society of Abdominal Radiology
August 24th 2022Well known for her education and advocacy on the use of computed tomography (CT) colonography for colorectal cancer screening, Dr. Yee is also widely recognized for her leadership, mentoring skills and being a champion for diversity in the field of radiology.
MRI/CT Imaging for Axillary Lymph Nodes: What a New Breast Cancer Study Reveals
August 16th 2022The combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) had a 63.83 percent sensitivity rate for tumor-infiltrated axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer in comparison to a 36.11 percent sensitivity rate for the combination of mammography and sonography.
Lung Cancer Screening Study Says Significant Disparities Persist Despite Expanded Eligibility
August 9th 2022While recent recommendations from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to lower lung cancer screening thresholds significantly expanded eligibility for screening tests such as low-dose computed tomography (CT), differences in education, health-care insurance and proximity to health-care facilities continue to be key drivers of racial and socioeconomic disparities limiting access to appropriate preventive care.
Can EHR Interventions Have an Impact in Conserving Iodinated Contrast Media in Radiology?
August 3rd 2022A recent study found the use of an alert and a request for more clinical information in a multisite health system’s electronic health record (EHR) system led to a 12 percent reduction in contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) exams per day and a 15.2 percent reduction in orders for CT with contrast media per day.
Study Suggests AI Enhances Non-Contrast CT Detection of Large Vessel Occlusion
July 29th 2022Artificial intelligence (AI) accurately diagnosed 79 percent of proximal large vessel occlusions with an ipsiversive gaze deviation on non-contrast computed tomography (CT), according to new research findings presented recently at the Society of Neurointerventional Surgery’s (SNIS) 19th Annual Meeting in Toronto.
