» Digital Mammography: Planning, Implementation, and Integration  (1 Credit )
The use of mammography in breast cancer screening and treatment has represented a critical advance in the management of this disease. Although screen-film mammography (SFM) was considered the gold standard in mammography imaging modalities until recently, full-field digital mammography (FFDM) is increasingly recognized as an attractive alternative to SFM. This article will describe the current state of FFDM and address the challenges that facilities may encounter when transitioning to this technology.
» Ethical Considerations in Medical Imaging: How Do Ethics Affect Our Patients and Our Practice?  (0.5 Credit )
Ethics encompasses a variety of issues that all medical professionals, including medical imaging technologists, must ultimately tackle. When considering ethics, medical imaging professionals need to take into account their responsibilities to patients, colleagues, employers, the imaging profession, and themselves. This article will review these responsibilities with respect to medical imaging and the challenges that imaging technologists may face in approaching their work from the perspective of sound ethics.
» The Evolution of Magnetic Resonance Imaging: 3T MRI in Clinical Applications  (1 Credit )
Until recently, 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (3T MRI) was only used in research applications. However, as MRI technology evolves, 3T MRI studies (as opposed to 1.5T) are increasingly common in the clinical setting. This article will discuss the present challenges, benefits, and limitations of 3T MRI in the clinical setting in specific clinical applications, including imaging studies of the brain, spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis, extremities, cardiac system, vascular system, and breast.

» Stereotactic Radiotherapy Shows Promise in Acromegaly
Single-session stereotactic radiotherapy (SR) can be a safe and effective treatment for patients with acromegaly with residual or recurrent growth-hormone secreting adenoma, Italian researchers reported.
 
» Magnetic Resonance Angiography Spots Major Carotid Artery Stenoses
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) using either time-of-flight or contrast-enhanced approaches is an effective means of diagnosing substantial stenotic and occlusive internal carotid artery disease, according to the results of a meta-analysis.
 
» New Imaging Technique May Enhance Accuracy of Cancer Surgery
Use of a chemofluorescence technique may allow surgeons to visualize, in real time, cancerous tissue, thereby increasing the precision of their resections, according to animal study findings presented Tuesday at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Philadelphia.
 
» Value of Chemoradiotherapy in Nonresectable Rectal Cancer Confirmed
In nonresectable rectal cancer, the addition of chemotherapy to radiotherapy, compared with radiotherapy alone, improves local control and prolongs time to treatment failure and cancer-specific survival, results of a randomized phase III study confirm.
 
» Coronary Multidetector Computed Tomography Cost-Effective for Triage of Patients with Acute Chest Pain
Compared with standard protocols for assessing acute chest pain in emergency department patients, the use of coronary multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is modestly more effective and offers cost savings in the case of women, according to a report in the August issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
