The digital explosion of the past decade has resulted in a publishing fallout. A number of books devoted to PACS and related technologies, written by its pioneers and early adopters, have made their way into medical libraries. Among them are the following:
For those contemplating a PACS installation, this comprehensive guideline written by one of radiology's den fathers is a must. It contains 18 technical chapters ranging from the fundamentals of imaging modalities to image compression to networking to PACS pitfalls and bottlenecks.
This handsome, oversized hardcover book is a compilation of 34 scientific papers written by physician and scientific experts from five countries and assembled by Hruby, chair of radiology at Danube Hospital in Vienna, Austria. Danube, the world's first digital radiology facility, has performed over 1.2 million digital radiologic exams since 1991.
The book addresses a variety of issues to contemplate when planning digital radiology, including requests for proposal, hospital information systems, radiology information systems, large PACS projects, high-end workstations, information technology, speech recognition, and the economic aspects of digital radiology.
Any inquiry into telemedicine is welcome at a time when the entire industry is being transformed by digital technologies. This book, directed at health professionals, policymakers, and consumers, is nontechnical; those wishing to learn the relative appeal of LAN, ISDN, or DSL should look elsewhere.
Therapy for HIPAA angst. This SCAR security primer is designed so just about anyone -- IT professional, radiology administrator, clinician, or physicist -- can better understand the issues involving medical data integrity, confidentiality, and dissemination of information over the Internet.
Issues concerning the archiving of digital images have become so compelling that SCAR has issued a book on the subject. It is the second in a series of primers on topics of importance that SCAR intends to release semiannually.
This 11-chapter, large-format softcover book includes contributions from experts of various backgrounds, including industry, consulting, law, academia, and private medical practice.
A reference tool for radiologists, radiology residents, and radiology technicians, scheduled for released in October. The book will also be available at the Springer-Verlag booth at the RSNA meeting.
This new government document assesses 455 telemedicine services, representing 30 medical specialties, as they may apply to the Medicare population. It concludes that existing telemedicine programs demonstrate that the technology can be made operational, but most of the studies assessing the efficacy or cost are inefficient to permit definitive statements of support.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
