New Research Says CT Radiomics Can Help Predict Tumor Behavior
Researchers from the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Tampa, FL, have found strong evidence that CT radiomics features can help predict tumor behavior in screening-detected lung cancer. PET/CT radiomics have also shown possibility to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment decisions. Two CT radiomics features and a tumor volume doubling time…

Annually, throughout the US, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in children results in more than 1.5 million emergency room visits, with up to 70 percent of these children being exposed to ionized radiation while undergoing computed tomography (CT) scans. This exposure to ionized radiation during CT scans prompted a group of researchers from the University of…

New Study shows how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help with the global pandemic. Recently, an (AI) algorithm was able to distinguish between cases of COVID-19, influence, pneumonia, and healthy subjects on CT exams. Chinese researchers published an article online on October 9th yielding a very high accuracy rate. Not only did it have a very…

American College of Radiology (ACR) just released new topics. Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines to assist physicians and providers in making treatment decisions based on their patient’s condition. There is even a mobile app in the app store that allows clinicians and medical students to search the criteria when making radiologic tests to order, free…
Read MoreHow Technology Is Revolutionizing the Radiology Industry
Whether you get your news about radiology developments in bits and pieces randomly or allow yourself to periodically budget time for some serious deep dives into the literature, it’s easy to lose sight of developments in technology because of daily priorities at work. It’s quite easy for radiologists to become focused on the tasks at…
