Too few younger practicing radiologists are prepared to embrace ultrasound and push it to its clinical limits, according to Prof. Lorenzo Derchi, a professor of radiology at the University of Genoa in Italy.
The exhibition booths occupied by vendors of ultrasound systems at ECR 2010 are likely to be very busy places throughout the congress. Difficult economic conditions are causing a dip in global demand for the more capital-intensive modalities like CT and MRI, and hospital managers are keen for their staff to explore the clinical potential of this versatile and cost-effective technology.
The lungs have quite literally been a black hole for MRI for many years. Now advances in hardware and imaging techniques are helping lung MRI move into the clinical arena.
Molecular imaging is hugely expensive, risky, difficult to understand, heavily regulated, without immediate clinical benefit, and not reimbursed. These factors are halting progress in the field. The solutions for radiology are to collaborate, cooperate, co-own, and cotrain.
It is widely accepted that reducing time from admission to definitive care saves lives, but usually imaging is one of the major sources of delays. This means radiologists play a vital role in prioritizing patients and selecting the correct modality.
Recently, my fellow first year residents and I met to put together our study schedule for the upcoming American Board of Radiology physics exam in September 2010.
There has been considerable debate concerning President Obama’s healthcare reform initiative despite widespread agreement the U.S. healthcare system is in need of a significant and comprehensive overhaul.
Dose reduction: It’s on the minds of clinicians, vendors, and the patients who are sent to the radiology department for a scan. Diagnostic Imaging brings you the latest news regarding CT dose reduction issues and strategies.
X-ray imaging remains the backbone of radiology; continuing developments in CR and DR are making it faster, more efficient, and more dose sensitive. In this report you will find coverage from the exhibit floor on the latest developments in CR, DR, and digital mammography.
For the past several years computed tomography has been the most innovative modality in medical imaging. In this special RSNA e-Report on CT, you'll find articles describing some of those innovations and how they'll be demonstrated at the upcoming RSNA meeting.
Opinions are done. Finis. Kaput. They can’t compete with spinions. A spinion is a hybrid of spin and opinion. They are opinions on steroids, serving as vehicles for promoting sometimes deeply and strategically developed agenda. Full Story »
