CT speed spurs display dialogue
The 64-slice CT scanner at Boston University Medical Center has made a significant impact on trauma cases. The speed of postprocessing has led to an increase in the use of MSCT for preoperative evaluation and a decrease in using plain x-ray or even relying on axial images, according to Dr. Alexander Norbash, radiology chair, speaking at the 2006 Stanford Multidetector-Row CT meeting.

Speed and resolution may have expanded the range of diagnostic options possible with CT, but the display technology is at least as important, Norbash said.
He posits that radiologists need to rethink interpretation methodologies when it comes to the large data sets created by 64-slice CT.
"We need to move toward an understanding of what data streams to import and of what will tangibly give us an understanding of the underlying anatomy," he said. "Some type of visualization methodology that explores the psychology of how we diagnose using these images is going to be integral to the growth of the technology."
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
