Grid portals meet imaging's data management needs
Grid computing has emerged as one answer to demands for information systems to manipulate 2D, 3D, and 4D images, provide video conferencing, and satisfy other evolving telemedical applications.

A paper from Greece proposes a data-centric network that employs Grid architecture to construct web PACS portals to meet radiology department data management needs (Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc 2007;1:6429-6433). The hardware and software infrastructure is capable of providing reliable, low-cost access to high-end computing. The architecture yields a large-scale computing network from inexpensive off-the-shelf servers and storage devices. All components perform as a logical portal platform to provide web PACS services.
Can Photon-Counting CT be an Alternative to MRI for Assessing Liver Fat Fraction?
March 21st 2025Photon-counting CT fat fraction evaluation offered a maximum sensitivity of 81 percent for detecting steatosis and had a 91 percent ICC agreement with MRI proton density fat fraction assessment, according to new prospective research.
The Reading Room Podcast: Current Perspectives on the Updated Appropriate Use Criteria for Brain PET
March 18th 2025In a new podcast, Satoshi Minoshima, M.D., Ph.D., and James Williams, Ph.D., share their insights on the recently updated appropriate use criteria for amyloid PET and tau PET in patients with mild cognitive impairment.
Strategies to Reduce Disparities in Interventional Radiology Care
March 19th 2025In order to help address the geographic, racial, and socioeconomic barriers that limit patient access to interventional radiology (IR) care, these authors recommend a variety of measures ranging from increased patient and physician awareness of IR to mobile IR clinics and improved understanding of social determinants of health.
AI-Initiated Recalls After Screening Mammography Demonstrate Higher PPV for Breast Cancer
March 18th 2025While recalls initiated by one of two reviewing radiologists after screening mammography were nearly 10 percent higher than recalls initiated by an AI software, the AI-initiated recalls had an 85 percent higher positive predictive value for breast cancer, according to a new study.
