Dear AuntMinnie Member,
This week we're featuring coverage of the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting in Berlin, where international editor Eric Barnes is on hand to report for our Advanced Visualization Digital Community.
First up is a story on a new computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm for analyzing CT lung images. Japanese researchers are developing an application that they hope will provide an easier method for tracking lung nodule changes from multiple CT scans over time. Learn more about their progress by clicking here.
Meanwhile, find out about how the growth of personalized medicine will affect healthcare and radiology in the future, according to a perspective from Dr. Michael Vannier of the University of Chicago. The traditional model of care is disappearing, to be replaced by a new paradigm based on more individualized care. Learn more by clicking here.
Finally, learn about a new conebeam CT scanner for breast imaging being developed at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Researchers hope to overcome traditional barriers to breast CT through a dual-resolution scanner that uses both a flat-panel detector and a set of high-resolution detectors. Find out how they did it by clicking here.
