Breast Cancer Screening: Improved Readings With Computers
0s · PublishedHost: Jason Birnholz, MD
Dr. Fiona Gilbert, Roland Sutton Chair of Radiology at University of Aberdeen Institute of Medical Sciences, discusses her research findings that showed that the rate of breast cancer detection by two experts reading a mammogram was the same as one expert aided by a computer. Dr. Gilbert explains to host Dr. Jason Birnholz that, unlike in the United States, it is normal practice in the United Kingdom for two trained readers to examine mammograms. Tune in to hear how computer-aided detection is likely to improve breast cancer detection in those countries where a single reader is used, as well as improve efficiencies in countries that require two readers.
A Closer Look at Thyroid Ultrasound
0s · PublishedGuest: Jonn Cronan, MD, FACR
Thanks to extremely sensitive ultrasound technology, thyroid nodules are being detected and treated at unprecedented rates. Host Dr. Beverly Hashimoto welcomes Dr. John Cronan, professor of diagnostic imaging at the Brown University School of Medicine and chairman of the diagnostic imaging department at Rhode Island Hospital, to discuss the phenomenon of over-treatment of thyroid nodules. Is this pattern of care helping or harming our patients?
Ultrasound: Medical Efficiency for the 21st Century
0s · PublishedHost: Jason Birnholz, MD
Developments in ultrasound technologies yield superior image quality. But these new technologies are also designed to maximize information density– minimizing acquisition time, decreasing analysis time, and simplifying reporting. Dr. Roee Lazebnik, a radiologist with a PhD in biomedical engineering, employed by Siemens Healthcare, explains to host Dr. Jason Birnholz how the new ultrasound imaging equipment gives greater information density by increasing the amount of clinical information derived from an image.
Ultrasound in Emergency Medicine
0s · PublishedHost: Beverly Hashimoto, MD
Dr. Vicki Noble, director of the Division of Emergency Ultrasound at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, discusses with host Dr. Beverly Hashimoto the importance of ultrasound in the critical care setting. In the emergency department, ultrasound can improve the physican's ability to administer appropriate treatment during the crucial "golden hour" of trauma. Dr. Noble also discusses six additional applications for ultrasound in the emergency department.
Utility of 3-D Ultrasound Volume Imaging in Obstetrics and Gynecology
0s · PublishedGuest: Beryl Benacerraf, MD
More than amazing images, the utility of three dimensional ultrasound images in obstetrics is expansive, according to guest Dr. Beryl Benacerraf, director of obstetrical ultrasound at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Benacerraf and host Dr. Beverly Hashimoto talk about the ability of volume imaging to capture an image of the uterus from a coronal view, a view that is critical for assessment but could not be obtained through traditional portals of entry prior to 3-D imaging. Dr. Benacerraf also illuminates the diagnostic benefits of other display modalities permitted by volume imaging, such as surface renderings and tomographic cuts.
Ultrasonic Tissue Strain Imaging
0s · PublishedHost: Jason Birnholz, MD
Ultrasound elastography, or tissue strain imaging, can provide real-time quantitative analysis on deep tissue and small nodules that elude palpation. Dr. Brian Garra, professor and vice chair of radiology at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, discusses with host Dr. Jason Birnholz, what makes this method of imaging like “palpation on steroids.” How can elastography technology help catch disease in its earliest stages, and in some cases even make biopsy unnecessary?
Ultra-Portable Ultrasound in the Critical Care Unit
0s · PublishedHost: Jason Birnholz, MD
So small, it is called the ‘pocket ultrasound,' Dr. Eyal Herzog, director of the cardiac care unit at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York, discusses with host Dr. Jason Birnholz the results of his research on the handheld portable ultrasound unit in the cardiac care department. Dr. Herzog reports no significant differences in image quality compared to the larger, high-end machine. The portability of the handheld has the capacity to improve care by increasing the speed at which we can assess critically ill patients.
Echocardiography in a Heartbeat
0s · PublishedHost: Jason Birnholz, MD
Dr. Mani Vannan, professor of clinical internal medicine at the Ohio State University College of Medicine, reports how the latest ultrasound technology has dramatically improved echocardiography by enabling the acquisition of a full volume image in one heartbeat. In addition, the new technology of the ultrasound equipment produces meaningful output information from the image. Dr. Vannan also explains to host Dr. Jason Birnholz the practical implications these enhancements have in terms of diagnosing cardiovascular conditions and enhancing workflow productivity.
Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding
0s · PublishedGuest: Dawna Kramer, MD
Although most abnormal vaginal bleeding is caused by hormone imbalance, it can be indicative of polyps, myomas, and cancers of the cervix and endometrium. Dr. Dawna Kramer, a radiologist within the department of radiology, ultrasound section at the Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, discusses with host Dr. Beverly Hashimoto several ultrasound techniques, including sonohysterography, for determining the cause of post- and pre-menopausal vaginal bleeding.
Radiologic Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
0s · PublishedHost: Beverly Hashimoto, MD
Have new techniques changed the long-standing paradigm of breast cancer detection by mammogram? Dr. Dawna Kramer, radiology quality assurance officer and section head of the patient access area in the radiology department at the Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, talks with host Dr. Beverly Hashimoto about the applications and inter-relationship of mammography and breast ultrasound in the diagnosis of breast masses. Dr. Kramer highlights the reasons mammography continues to account for the majority of breast mass detections. What are the benefits of digital mammogram and what is the usefulness of breast ultrasound and MRI?
