Tomotherapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) have emerged as two popular types of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the treatment of complex tumors. Because physicians can modulate or control the intensity of the radiation beam in VMAT and tomotherapy, both treatments provide high precision radiation with which tumors that are curved around critical organs can be treated.

Cardiac ultrasound technology has advanced to keep up with several trends. These include improved workflow for greater efficiency, expanded use of qualification metrics, expanded use of 3-D echo to speed exam times and improve operator reproducibility, and expanded use of 3-D transesophageal echo (TEE) to aid guidance in the growing area of transcatheter structural heart procedures. Here are a few examples of how the newest technology is addressing these trends.

With the addition of its third 3D mammography system in early 2014, the University of Colorado Hospital established 3D as the standard of care in its breast imaging department. Located in Aurora, Colo., the hospital currently provides mammograms in two centers in the Denver area, and on its “Pink Lifesaver” mammography coach, which covers surrounding communities. The transition to 3D got a jump-start from fundraising efforts by the hospital’s “Men for the Cure” foundation, with donations from the group used to purchase the first 3D system and the mobile coach.

Data from a new study of more than 170,000 examinations using 3-D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) screening technology finds 3-D significantly more invasive cancers than a traditional 2-D mammogram. The researchers also found that 3-D mammography reduces the number of women called back for unnecessary testing due to false alarms. The study was published in the June 25, 2014 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
