Something for Everyone at AHRA 2019
AHRA will be “Rockin’ in the Rockies” at its 47th annual meeting and exposition in Denver this year. The grand opening is on Monday, July 22, but there are several activities scheduled for Sunday to kick off the conference, including the Imaging Classic golf tournament and workshops dedicated to the certified radiology administrator exam, executive leadership, and cultivating accountability. There are also a couple of breakout sessions in the afternoon, featuring topics such as alternative payment models, managing workplace conflict, and surviving a radiography lawsuit.
Olympic skier and motivational speaker Vince Poscente is delivering the keynote for the grand opening, with a talk on the theme of “Full Speed Ahead.” The exhibit hall is open from 11 AM to 2 PM, so make sure you leave some time to check out the latest and greatest medical imaging technology. Some of Monday’s breakout session topics include MR safety, assessing cardiac risk in endurance athletes, and successful implementation of DR across a regional health system.

Gold Nanoparticles Utilized as Contrast Agents
Gold nanoparticle clusters have the capability to operate as superb photo-thermal conductors, and chemists at the National University of Singapore have found a way to use them to noninvasively target and kill cancer cells, according to a report in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
Deep Learning Imaging Lets Humans See Through an Animal’s Eyes
Tiger stripes, in flamboyant orange, may seem like a counterintuitive getup for an apex predator. However, a new initiative, led by the UK’s University of Bristol, uses deep learning imaging to reveal how colors are perceived by a fellow four-legged jungle-dweller, leading to a fuller comprehension of the animal kingdom, the researchers say.
X-Ray Histotomography Offers a Novel Look at Cells
A team of researchers, led by Penn State University personnel, have discovered a new 3D method for tissue imaging. This technique will allow for cells to be studied more accurately and completely using X-ray histotomography, an improvement over traditional histology methods, according to a report in the journal eLife.
Combination Treatment Found Effective in Cancer Detection
With the use of MRI scans in combination with biopsy and ultrasound, physicians at UCLA have uncovered a more effective technique for identifying and locating cancer cells in the prostate. The procedure, according to the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, helps pinpoint specific spots to be biopsied. |

“You cannot use CT as a screening tool for every patient or even for every at-risk patient every year, so what we’re trying to do is to develop biomarkers from blood samples that could be incorporated into physical exams, and if there is any suspicion of lung cancer, then we would put the patient through CT.”
— Leo L. Cheng, PhD, of Massachusetts General Hospital, regarding an initiative to accurately identify lung cancer stage by harnessing data unique to its major subtypes |
