This paper outlines the efforts of the American College of Radiology to understand the public perception of radiologists and to effect change in that perception. Through focus groups, in-depth inte...

Rationale and Objectives The aims of this study were to determine the feasibility of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in the detection of bowel inflammation and to investigate t...

Rationale and Objectives Patient-centered outcome measures have become an essential focus in research methodology in recent years. This may be particularly challenging in imaging research at the t...

Rationale and Objectives The American College of Radiology has recently endorsed the use of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) for colon cancer screening. With advances in technology and post...

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to develop a semi-automated computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system based on high-resolution ultrasonography for classifying benign and malignant s...

Rationale and Objectives Breast cancer is the leading cause of mortality in women worldwide. Lymphatic mapping with sentinel node biopsy has the potential to reduce the morbidity associated with b...

The following abstracts of diagnostic radiology research and training grants funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were awarded to principal investigators (PIs) whose primary appointmen...

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the ability of a semiautomated process to produce three-dimensional reconstructions of the ventricles and calculate ventricular volumes...

Rationale and Objectives Correlation imaging (CI) is a form of multiprojection imaging in which multiple images of a patient are acquired from slightly different angles. Information from these ima...

Rationale and Objectives Improvements in imaging technology have led to the increased use of computed tomography (CT). For example, micro-CT and quantitative CT (QCT) are now often used in osteopo...
