Dear Advanced Visualization Insider,
Several studies assessing the benefits of quantitative imaging were among the many advanced visualization highlights in the scientific program at last week's RSNA 2013 in Chicago.
For example, a University of Chicago team presented a paper that highlights the promise of quantitative 3D breast image analysis for predicting which ductal carcinoma in situ lesions will progress to invasive breast cancer. Which quantitative features on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI were the most revealing? Get all the details in this edition's Insider Exclusive, available to you before our other AuntMinnie.com members.
In other coverage from the Chicago meeting, 3D reconstructions of CT images play an important role for planning full facial transplantation, according to a magna cum laude award-winning presentation by researchers from the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Advanced visualization demonstrations were central to an exhibition sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, while researchers from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported that viewing angle affects the spatial resolution of mobile devices.
In addition, researchers from the U.S. National Institutes of Health concluded that computer-aided detection software offers potential for identifying challenging extracolonic findings on CT colonography exams.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more articles in the Advanced Visualization Digital Community from RSNA 2013.
Also, another article this month reports how German researchers used CT data and 3D printing technology to make a carbon copy of a dinosaur vertebra.
