March 13, 2007 Technical advances in MRI have paved the way for functional imaging of the abdomen, moving beyond simple morphological evaluation of disease and in some cases proving superior to multislice CT. With quantitative imaging tools at their disposal, radiologists are rethinking what they need to visualize... More » March 13, 2007 Technological advances to CT and MRI allow radiologists to perform whole-body examinations in mere seconds. This has changed the way radiologists use whole-body imaging in diagnostics, according to Dr. Maximilian Reiser, director of the Institute for Clinical Radiology at the Ludwig-Maximilian... More » March 13, 2007 Correct diagnosis of tumor character and stage is fundamental to lung-cancer therapy planning, but evaluating indeterminate solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) continues to challenge radiologists. In addition, it is vital to determine as soon as possible whether patients are likely to respond to... More » March 13, 2007 The combined functional and morphological approach to imaging afforded by PET/CT and SPECT/CT has far-reaching technical, diagnostic, and economic advantages, according to Dr. Gerald Antoch of the department of diagnostic and interventional radiology and neuroradiology at the University Hospital... More » March 13, 2007 Imaging is poised to play a key role in the advancement of 21st century science and healthcare. This will happen only if the radiology community changes its view of imaging sciences, according to Dr. Elias Zerhouni, a radiologist and director of the National Institutes of Health. And if that means... More » March 13, 2007 ECR attendees tested their skills at diagnosing breast disease and learned how to create clear, concise breast imaging reports at Tuesday morning’s BI-RADS training in breast imaging session. More » March 13, 2007 Few controversies in radiology have generated as much interest as that of whole-body imaging. But niche-specific indications for the technique may quell the controversy. More » March 12, 2007 At last year’s European Congress of Radiology, research regarding 64-slice CT angiography was focused on its feasibility. This year, feasibility is no longer an issue. Rather, a wealth of evidence is being presented attesting to the fact that coronary CTA is a powerful and useful tool to evaluate... More » March 12, 2007 “I predict that lung radiofrequency ablation is going to be very big indeed,” said Dr. Alice Gillams at the beginning of her two presentations on Saturday examining factors influencing tumor recurrence and incidence of pneumothoraces. More » March 12, 2007 Two tubes are better than one, if you ask Siemens Medical Solutions. Simultaneous x-ray beams rotating every 330 msec on the Somatom Definition CT gantry stop any motion in its tracks, even that of the heart. Now Siemens is taking the concept a step further. More »

ECR Philippe Houssiau interview Data must not only converge but be managed easily and efficiently, if sophisticated diagnostics are to result in better patient care. Philippe Houssiau, president of Agfa Healthcare, discusses with DI Business Editor Greg Freiherr the company's strategy for managing this convergence over the short and long term. Zonare's newly enhanced z.one ultra Zonare's newly enhanced z.one ultra, launched commercially this month and showcased at the European Congress of Radiology in Vienna, features a 19-inch diagonal screen built into a redesigned portable cart. The upgraded product, which can operate as a cart-based or hand-carried ultrasound system, features software that automatically adjusts the gain and brightness of images and traces spectral Doppler waveform. Glen McLaughlin, Ph.D., chief technology officer and vice president of engineering at Zonare, demonstrates some of the new system's highlights. Dr. Philip Cook explains the Radiology Integrated Training Initiative at the 2007 ECR Electronic training strategies were a hit at the ECR. One program developed in the U.K., the Radiology Integrated Training Initiative, uses e-learning and a validated case archive to address a shortfall of trained consultant radiologists. Dr. Philip Cook, a consultant radiologist and clinical lead for the program, explains.
