AuntMinnieTV: Study takes aim at physician self-referral
One of the most controversial topics in healthcare is physician self-referral -- when doctors refer patients to imaging studies conducted in their own offices. In this AuntMinnieTV segment, physician self-referral opponent Dr. David Levin makes the case for why this might not be a good thing.

AuntMinnieTV: Virtual colonoscopy learns a new trick
Virtual colonoscopy could prove to be a useful method of screening for signs of aortic calcification, a possible precursor to a future cardiac event, according to research presented by a group from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonsville, FL. The group conducted measurements of aortic calcium collected at the same time as a virtual colonoscopy study, and found that the measurements correlated well with other established cardiac risk factors.

AuntMinnieTV: Company brings 'natural' light to imaging suites
Let there be light. Simulated natural light, that is, with scenes of clouds and flowering trees. That's the ticket to happier, more relaxed patients, according to a company that's developed a line of virtual skylights and windows designed to make patients feel more at home in the imaging suite.

AuntMinnieTV: I-ELCAP results predict lung cancer risk
CT screening can detect lung cancers at an early stage, and may even be able to predict the cancer risk among current and former smokers, according to data from the International Early Lung Cancer Action Program (I-ELCAP). This AuntMinnieTV segment describes how I-ELCAP researchers are using CT screening to hone in on cancer detection in at-risk populations.

AuntMinnieTV: fMRI offers insight into retraining the brain
Functional MRI can provide important information on how the brain learns to conduct complicated motor-skills tasks, according to research presented at the 2004 RSNA show. The study could lay the groundwork for the development of prosthetic devices that paralyzed or stroke-impaired individuals could control using impulses in the brain.

AuntMinnieTV: New convertible ultrasound scanner
One of the new companies debuting at the 2004 RSNA conference was Zonare Medical Systems, which launched a new ultrasound scanner that can be converted from a cart-based system into a handheld configuration. This AuntMinnieTV segment describes Zonare's convertible ultrasound technology, and includes dynamic images acquired with the system.

AuntMinnieTV: DTI offers insight into ADHD
Diffusion-tensor MRI can identify structural changes that occur in the brains of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to research presented at the 2004 RSNA meeting in Chicago by Manzar Ashtari, Ph.D. of Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, NY. In this AuntMinnieTV segment, we explore how DTI is opening a window into the neurological function of ADHD children, and how pharmaceutical treatment can help.
