im3D CAD COLON at ESGAR 2011 CTC HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS

Bracco Imaging, a ESGAR Corporate Member, will use the im3D CAD COLON workstation as the platform for 2011 ESGAR workshops during which specialists can review cases with the latest available technology in Computer Aided Technology and electronic bowel cleansing.
The ESGAR Hands-on Workshops occur twice a year and have so far trained hundreds of registered specialists to approach the reading and interpretation of CT colonography exams with a practical session of two days, guided by a highly qualified Faculty.

DBT beats digital mammo for microcalcifications

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is comparable to or better than conventional digital mammography at identifying microcalcifications in up to 95% of cases, according to research presented at this month's American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) meeting in Chicago.

VC ready for universal use, meta-analysis shows

April 27, 2011 -- In a meta-analysis of more than 10,000 patients scanned on five continents, virtual colonoscopy detected almost 95% of colorectal cancers -- and 100% when proper tagging and cleansing methods were used, according to a study published in the May edition of Radiology.
The study suggests that VC is ready for universal use, the authors concluded.

Impact of Mammographic Screening on Breast Cancer Mortality

Invitation to mammographic screening results in a highly significant decrease in breast cancer–specific mortality. Evaluation of the full impact of screening, in particular estimates of absolute benefit and number needed to screen, requires follow-up times exceeding 20 years because the observed number of breast cancer deaths prevented increases with increasing time of follow-up.

Men may require earlier colorectal cancer screening

A new analysis of colorectal adenomas found that men have significantly more advanced adenomas and colorectal cancers than women at all age groups, prompting the authors of the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association to recommend that men be screened earlier than women. Just how much earlier is a question that will require more investigation.
