Technique boosts x-ray CAD results for TB 
February 2, 2015 -- Dutch researchers have developed an algorithm to improve the robustness of computer-aided detection (CAD) to identify tuberculosis (TB) on chest x-rays -- enabling CAD to significantly improve the detection of thoracic abnormalities.

MSRT has come along way!

We have been busy developing new policies and procedures, updating bylaws and making sure all of our MSRT members have current information on the state and federal levels. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to any board member and correspondence can be mailed to our MSRT website at:

The MSRT board will have a Tcon meeting to vote on purchasing additional insurance to protect the MSRT from financial theft.  This protects volunteer members that sit on the board or hold office. This policy would be in addition to our current liability insurance policy that we have when we hold MSRT events. This new policy also aids in eligibility to receive financial aid from the ASRT.

Total annual expense of this additional policy would be $633. Our current liability insurance is approx. $500.

This phone conference is scheduled for Friday December 19th at 8am
