PDAs used in primary reads hold their own
Danish researchers have confirmed the possibility of interpreting scans from personal digital assistants. Their study comprised 40 orthopedic studies, including CT, MR, computed radiography, and digital radiography.
Danish researchers have confirmed the possibility of interpreting scans from personal digital assistants. Their study comprised 40 orthopedic studies, including CT, MR, computed radiography, and digital radiography.
The investigators interpreted images from a wireless PDA and a workstation. A span of one to two weeks separated each reading. Agreement occurred in 90% of the cases, and the researchers caught two instances of soft-tissue calcification on the PDA that were not seen on the workstation.
Many types of studies do not work well on PDAs because of the necessity to scroll and pan with the small devices, they said, but these analytic tools can be helpful in interpreting orthopedic studies.

Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
January 9th 2025In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
Surveillance Breast MRI Associated with Lower Risks of Advanced Second Breast Cancers
January 8th 2025After propensity score matching in a study of over 3,000 women with a personal history of breast cancer, researchers found that surveillance breast MRI facilitated a 59 percent lower risk in advanced presentations of second breast cancers.
