Wien, 4. März 2016 – Bei bildgebenden Untersuchungen der Brust kann es, wie allgemein bekannt, gelegentlich zu Fehldiagnosen kommen, die je nach Modalität unterschiedlichen Ursprungs sein können. Insgesamt kann man von Erkennungs- oder Interpretationsfehlern sprechen, die hauptsächlich von der Dichte des Brustgewebes, dem Tumortyp, der Aufnahmetechnologie und den Fähigkeiten des Arztes beeinflusst werden. Wenn man sich die Fehlerquellen bei der Brust-Bildgebung genauer ansieht, stellt man fest, dass...

Optimised low dose CT protocols: the half slice thickness approach.

Wednesday, March 2, 2016 (ECR) – Computed tomography (CT) is an essential imaging modality that can be used to solve many clinical problems. Moreover, it is available all over the globe and in many areas even on a 24/7 basis. Over the last ten years much has been done to lower the radiation doses used in CT through technical innovations and the application of protocols based on the ALARA (As...

Sunday, March 8 (ECR) – Cardiac and thoracic diseases are often intertwined and can be diagnosed during the same examination. Cardiovascular and chest radiologists are therefore trying to broaden their focus, and they have a lot to teach each other. Speakers from both sides will discuss the challenges ahead in today’s New Horizons session at the ECR.

Radiologists must adopt a comprehensive approach because of the relationship between diseases of the heart and chest, according to Prof. Christian Loewe, deputy...

Wien, 26. März 2015. RadiologInnen sind immer auf der Suche nach den neuesten Möglichkeiten der Technik, um die Bildgebung möglichst schonend, bei möglichst großer Effizienz zu gestalten. Insbesondere bewahrheitet sich dies bei der Brustbildgebung, da die Mammografie aufgrund ihrer nicht funktionellen, zweidimensionalen Darstellung nicht die „perfekte“ Methode darstellt: sie kann bösartige Tumore übersehen und diagnostiziert auch biologisch irrelevante Erkrankungen, die nachfolgend übertherapiert werden.

Die Sensitivität und Genauigkeit der Mammografie ist im Vergleich zur MRT...
