Introduction to Interventional Radiology

2008-12-06T16:25:21.010Z

Interventional radiology is a relatively new field in medicine, combining imaging technology like MRI's with non-invasive treatments--procedures that in the past would have meant major surgery. Doctors say that with technological advances, the imaging field is constantly changing and expanding to include new procedures all the time.

RSNA 2008: Putting a Face on Scans Could Yield Patient Benefits

2008-12-06T16:18:12.080Z

CHICAGO, Dec. 2 -- Adding a photo of the patient to the file may boost the radiologist's empathy and produce a more thorough report, researchers said here.

Radiologists were more likely to relate better to the patient whose scans they were interpreting and write longer, more detailed reports when they saw a photo of the patient, Yehonatan N. Turner, M.D., of Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, said at the Radiological Society of North America meeting.

RSNA 2008: Brachytherapy and Brain Wave Imaging Highlight RSNA News

2008-12-06T16:17:19.121Z

CHICAGO, Dec. 1 -- Brachytherapy for women who develop breast cancer after breast augmentation surgery and a new look at the way the brain of an autistic child processes sound highlight this exclusive MedPage Today roundtable discussion at the Radiological Society of North America meeting.
Joseph Tashjian, M.D., president of St. Paul Radiology, in St. Paul Minnesota, discussed brachytherapy in women with breast implants who develop breast cancer, noting it's an especially effective option because it takes only five days.

But both Dr. Tashjian and Philip O. Alderson, M.D., dean of the School of Medicine at Saint Louis University, agreed that more data were needed.

More data are also needed, they agreed, to assess the true utility of magnetoencephalography to measure the severity of autism, although early results reported at RSNA were promising.

Peggy Peck, MedPage Today executive editor, moderated the discussion.

RSNA 2008: Exercise May Prevent Loss of Small Blood Vessels in the Brain

2008-12-06T16:16:02.422Z

CHICAGO, Dec. 1 -- Older adults who exercise regularly may have increased cerebral blood flow and a greater number of small blood vessels in the brain, researchers here said.

This could be the mechanism by which exercise prevents cognitive decline in the elderly, Feraz Rahman, M.S., a medical student at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, told attendees at the Radiological Society of North America meeting.
