Advances in image processing have given radiologists new tools to find the abnormalities they're looking for. But Dr. Geoffrey Rubin believes that radiologists need better tools -- and quickly -- before they drown in a flood of data being produced by the new generation of CT scanners.

That's according to a talk he gave at the 2014 International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT (MDCT 2014). Rubin is a professor of cardiovascular research, radiology, and bioengineering at Duke University, and he is also program director of the International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT), which hosted MDCT 2014 earlier this month in San Francisco.

Faculty and Residents from CMIVs (Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization) virtual reality theater watch the live stream of the 16th Annual MDCT Symposium from Sweden!  The theater is located in the center of CMIV and can take over the CT and MRI modalities from this room and scan live.  Faculty at CMIV use the virtual reality theater for anatomical lecturing for the medical students, "virtual dissections" with the patient in the scanner.
