Stanford 2008 video - GE unveils ultrapremium CT
The new LightSpeed CT750 HD from GE Healthcare promises a 33% contrast improvement in the body and 47% in the heart, while cutting dose in the body by as much as half. The most significant change, however, may come from the product's ability to acquire data at more than 101 different energy levels, using an approach GE calls spectral imaging. Dominic Smith, GE's general manager of molecular imaging and CT marketing and advanced applications, describes this new capability. 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.
