Meetings : Video game processors help lower CT scan radiation
May provide a unique solution to reducing doses by a factor of 10 or more
PHILADELPHIA PA, USA -- A new approach to processing X-ray data could lower by a factor of ten or more the amount of radiation patients receive during cone beam CT scans, report researchers from the University of California, San Diego at next week's AAPM 2010 Annual Meeting in Philadelphia PA, USA.Cone beam CT plays an essential role in image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), a state-of-the-art cancer treatment. IGRT uses repeated scans during a course of radiation therapy to precisely target tumors and minimize radiation damage in surrounding tissue.
Though IGRT has improved outcomes, the large cumulative radiation dose from the repeated scans has raised concerns among physicians and patients.
Reducing the total number of X-ray projections and the mAs level per projection (by tuning down the X-ray generator pulse rate, pulse duration and/or current) during a CT scan can help minimize patient’s exposure to radiation, but the change results in noisy, mathematically incomplete data that takes hours to process using the current iterative reconstruction approaches.

Meetings : New Molecular Imaging Techniques in Disease Development & Therapy Response
Reported at the 2008 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress - 31/8/2008, Munich
{PET-CT Cardiology Engine Image Courtesy Siemens (not part of the Press Release)}Munich, Germany -- An emerging discipline of noninvasive cardiac imaging, molecular imaging, has evolved constantly in the last few years and is increasingly being translated from the preclinical to the clinical level.
Molecular imaging allows for unique insights into specific disease mechanisms and holds great promise to change the practice of cardiovascular medicine by facilitating early disease detection, establishment of novel therapies, and selection of patients for treatment based on their individual disease biology (the paradigm of “personalized medicine”).
Molecular imaging aims at the use of imaging probes to visualize specific cellular or sub cellular processes that occur before changes in morphology and function.
This is highly relevant because impairments of such processes often are precursors or earliest stages of cardiovascular disease. They are also involved in the early response to therapy or may identify candidates most suitable for a specific therapy.
