A Novel Approach to Nodule Feature Optimization on Thin Section Thoracic CT

Rationale and Objectives An analysis for the optimum selection of image features in feature domain to represent lung nodules was performed, with implementation into a classification module of a co...

Ultra-low Dose Lung CT Perfusion Regularized by a Previous Scan

Rationale and Objectives A previous scan–regularized reconstruction (PSRR) method was proposed to reduce radiation dose and applied to lung perfusion studies. Normal and ultra-low-dose lung comput...

The Influence of Increased Ambient Lighting on Mass Detection in Mammograms

Rationale and Objectives Recent research has provided evidence that in reading rooms equipped with liquid crystal displays (LCDs), a measured increase of ambient lighting may improve clinicians’ d...

The bookshelf

Pediatric Imaging is one of 12 handbooks in the Direct Diagnosis in Radiology series ( Dx-Direct ). Other radiology subspecialties covered include brain, gastrointestinal, cardiac, breast, genitour...

Subtraction Computed Tomographic Angiography of Calcified Arteries

Rationale and Objectives The technique of subtraction computed tomographic angiography (sCTA) has been proposed for the evaluation of atherosclerotic disease to address limitations in CTA in highl...

Reproducibility of Breast Arterial Calcium Mass Quantification Using Digital Mammography

Rationale and Objectives Breast arterial calcification (BAC) detected on mammography is frequently not included in final reports. However, previous studies have indicated that BAC may be evidence ...

Radiofrequency Ablation

Rationale and Objectives Inflammatory reaction surrounding the ablated area is a major confounding factor in the early detection of viable tumor after radiofrequency (RF) ablation. A difference in...

Quantitative Estimation of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI Parameters in Rat Brain Gliomas Using a Dual Surface Coil System

Rationale and Objectives The study of vascular targeted cancer therapies is critically dependent on the development of noninvasive methods for assessing changes in vascular permeability and blood ...

Parenchymal Texture Analysis in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis for Breast Cancer Risk Estimation

Rationale and Objectives Studies have demonstrated a relationship between mammographic parenchymal texture and breast cancer risk. Although promising, texture analysis in mammograms is limited by ...

MRI Interpretation Proficiency of Musculoskeletal Fellows in Training

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) interpretation proficiency of musculoskeletal fellows in training. Materials and Methods Betwe...
