Japanese hospital reports favorable experience with CAD-PACS integration
July 01, 2008 Temporal subtractions and nodule detection are the most common computer-aided detection systems available. Until recently, however, no report has described these CAD routines being integrated into PACS.
New device provides e-mail ECG service
June 25, 2008 Recent advancements in electrocardiogram recording and encryption allow digital storage and secure e-mail transmission, reducing report turnaround time by two to three weeks.
Mammography database of African American women addresses breast cancer disparities
June 20, 2008 The rate of decline in breast cancer rates over the past decade has been smaller among African American women than the general population, despite improved screening techniques.
Web 2.0 spins new path to image integration
June 10, 2008 Web 2.0 is a buzzword for emerging web technologies designed to enhance information sharing, boost creativity, and promote collaboration among users.
Journal publishers seek solution to missing links
June 02, 2008 Medical and scientific journal publishers increasingly use Internet-based citations to reference data and software mentioned in published papers. URLs cited in the literature, however, continue to disappear, or decay, at an alarming rate.
Study recommends standardized image reject methodology
May 27, 2008 Digital radiography systems are in common use for medical imaging, yet few studies have examined computed radiography quality performance in terms of reject rates. This lack is due primarily to difficulty in obtaining the data required to calculate reject statistics.
Multislice CT pops the cork noninvasively
May 20, 2008 It may be too soon for a television series called "CSI: Radiology," but multislice CT technology is finding uses beyond the realms of clinical or even forensic medicine. Swiss researchers have devised a way to detect smuggled dissolved cocaine using MSCT scanners (AJR:190, May 2008).
Multiframe algorithm addresses image integrity
May 14, 2008 Most schemes that address medical image integrity and authenticity deal only with single frame images and lack satisfactory solutions for multiframe modalities. Recent work in Brazil achieves viable integrity of n-frame medical images, such as x-ray angiography or intravascular ultrasound.
Device lets readers gesture through images
May 08, 2008 The first practical intuitive device for browsing digital images using only hand gestures is being tested in intensive care settings and operating suites.
Google-based search tool mines RIS data
May 01, 2008 Radiology text and image data account for a significant portion of patient electronic medical record information in hospital archives, yet few means exist to aid radiologists in extracting relevant information from these databases.
Paper debunks SIIM certification myths
April 23, 2008 So many myths have grown up around the Certified Imaging Informatics Professional process established last year by the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine that one paper has already appeared debunking the most flagrant.
Innovation outsourcing proposal could change pace of informatics progress
April 18, 2008 Progress in imaging informatics tends to be incremental, one deliberate step at a time. But at least one expert believes change could be measured in much longer strides if corporations outsourced innovation. |
