CT speed spurs display dialogue
The 64-slice CT scanner at Boston University Medical Center has made a significant impact on trauma cases. The speed of postprocessing has led to an increase in the use of MSCT for preoperative evaluation and a decrease in using plain x-ray or even relying on axial images, according to Dr. Alexander Norbash, radiology chair, speaking at the 2006 Stanford Multidetector-Row CT meeting.

Speed and resolution may have expanded the range of diagnostic options possible with CT, but the display technology is at least as important, Norbash said.
He posits that radiologists need to rethink interpretation methodologies when it comes to the large data sets created by 64-slice CT.
"We need to move toward an understanding of what data streams to import and of what will tangibly give us an understanding of the underlying anatomy," he said. "Some type of visualization methodology that explores the psychology of how we diagnose using these images is going to be integral to the growth of the technology."
Multicenter Study Identifies Key Factors Associated with Mammogram-Occult Ipsilateral Breast Cancer
October 9th 2024A symptomatic first breast cancer diagnosis, prevailing breast density at a second breast cancer diagnosis and trabecular thickening on surveillance mammography were linked to mammogram-occult ipsilateral breast cancer, according to new research.
Can Innovations with AI Help Address the Impact of Staffing Shortages on Radiology Workflow?
October 7th 2024While staffing shortages in radiology continue to persist after the COVID-19 pandemic, current and emerging innovations powered by artificial intelligence (AI) may help facilities navigate these challenges and mitigate rising costs of health care.
