Symposium boosts concept of 'interventional oncology'
A special Interventional Oncology Symposium held at the RSNA meeting in December confirmed tumor ablation’s status as an accepted and growing therapy. The symposium, cosponsored by the RSNA and the Society of Interventional Radiology Foundation, drew standing room-only crowds to presentations about... More »
RFA expands applications through liver, lung, and kidney therapy data
Researchers continue to build the case for RFA with new data showing the procedure to be an effective alternative to surgery for the treatment of liver, lung, and kidney malignancies. Results were presented at the Interventional Oncology Symposium in December. More »
New imaging techniques aid ablation strategies
New imaging techniques and methods spotlighted in December at a special Interventional Oncology Symposium can help reduce the rate of recurring tumors, find disease that was missed in the first phase of treatment, and make ablation more practical. More »
CAD for CT colonography undergoes scrutiny
As computer-aided detection continues to make inroads into virtual colonoscopy territory, studies presented at the 2005 RSNA meeting highlighted its potential for spotting polyps. More »
Skepticism remains about educational value of the Internet
A new survey suggests that the Internet has a long way to go before surpassing conventional forms of education or information delivery among practicing radiologists. More »
Viewing angle proves critical to accurate interpretation
How you view a clinical image—be it head-on or from an angle--could determine whether you find an abnormality. More »
False positives decline with breast tomosynthesis
Digital breast tomosynthesis promises to dramatically reduce the rate of false-positive mammograms, potentially sparing women from unnecessary follow-up tests and biopsies, according to a study presented at the RSNA meeting. More »
The light stuff
A few years back I made a bet that molecular imaging would become nothing more than a synonym for nuclear medicine. At the time it made sense, what with companies parking their gamma cameras and PET/CTs under this title. But since then, you might say I’ve seen the light. More »

Radical gamma camera design promises to shake up nuclear medicine
Israeli start-up Spectrum Dynamics has developed technology that can generate 10 times the sensitivity and double the spatial resolution of conventional Anger cameras, according to the company. Such dramatic increases raise the possibility of real-time imaging that shows the perfusion of one or more... More »
Interactive 3D tools crawl the Web
Clinical software tools shown at the 2005 RSNA meeting are turning standard PCs and laptops into interactive diagnostic workstations. As a result, radiologists have the ability to pull up a set of diagnostic-quality images and perform a basic diagnostic review on the fly, driving advanced 3D... More »
