Stanford 2008 video - AquilionOne Vegas protocol focuses on patient handling
Patient throughput makes or breaks an imaging center. At the Spring Valley Imaging Center, one of several in the Nevada Imaging Centers group in Las Vegas, the third U.S. installation of the AquilionOne is being groomed for volume, in terms of not only data acquisition but patients as well. The center is doing advanced studies in the brain and heart but also every routine CT scan possible. Greg Freiherr has the story.
Patient survival influences new lung cancer staging system
May 21st 2009Based on on a database with more than 100,000 submitted cases, modifications to the international system for staging non-small cell lung cancer promise to more closely reflect the connection between disease progression and the patient's prospects for survival.
Advantages of wide CT detectors outweigh disadvantages
May 19th 2009The new generation of wide CT detectors provides expanded coverage, allowing faster scans and even dynamic imaging of organs, including heart and brain. There are disadvantages, said Dr. Mathias Prokop, speaking May 19 at the 11th International Symposium on Multidetector Row CT, but these are minor in comparison.
Glazer calls 'invisible radiologist' to task, encourages molecular understanding
May 19th 2009A smorgasbord of challenges face radiology but few present a greater threat than the “invisible radiologist,” said Dr. Gary Glazer, chairman of the Stanford University radiology department, who kicked off the 11th International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT.
