Expanding role of radiographers brings new challenges
VIENNA - New insurance laws, a keener recognition of patients' values, and an expanding list of professional duties amplify the pressure on radiographers to implement evidence-based practice. Early research findings from three Northern European pilot studies were discussed at the European Congress of Radiology.

Automated breast US improves breast cancer detection
VIENNA - Automated breast ultrasound promises improved cancer detection when combined with standard digital mammography, but training is required for radiologists to realize its full clinical potential, according to results from a pair of new studies presented Friday at the European Congress of Radiology.

How I do it: CT perfusion in functional tumor imaging
Many hospitals make the decision to acquire CT perfusion technology and software primarily for stroke diagnosis; however, the technique can also yield valuable results in functional tumor imaging. That's according to Dr. Ken Miles, who explains how to optimize CT perfusion protocols to produce accurate and consistent tumor imaging results.

CAD may improve novice performance in pulmonary CTA
CT angiography (CTA) is an effective method for detecting pulmonary emboli, yet inexperienced readers may frequently miss filling defects when working alone or under pressure. New research suggests that computer-aided detection (CAD) software could serve as a valuable surrogate second reader.

7-tesla breast MRI shows advantages in first tests
The promise of a diagnostic advantage in mammography using powerful 7-tesla MRI was underlined by preliminary results presented at the European Congress of Radiology. Although image quality was improved compared to 1.5-tesla MRI, using such a powerful system might be problematic due to current patient safety rules.

ECR studies confirm impact of breast MRI on patient outcomes
VIENNA - With tissue-conservation procedures among the most common surgical treatments for breast cancer, imaging techniques that accurately probe the depths of disease status surely prove invaluable. Or do they? A pair of presentations from this week's European Congress of Radiology (ECR) sheds some light on the matter.
