CT perfusion salvages nondiagnostic CTA for stent assessment
June 18, 2013 -- Combining CT perfusion scans with CT angiography (CTA) can improve the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in stent patients, visualizing stenotic vessel segments that CTA alone is hard-pressed to characterize, German researchers reported today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Time-of-flight PET detectors: The next generation
June 18, 2013 -- Detectors for use in time-of-flight PET must offer high detection efficiency, good spatial and energy resolution, and excellent timing resolution, as well as provide depth of interaction information. A promising candidate that meets all of these requirements is the monolithic scintillator detector.

ESR survey: Don't write off ultrasound
June 17, 2013 -- Although MRI and CT attract the most attention, a new survey from the European Society of Radiology (ESR) found that ultrasound still plays a major role in radiology departments. In addition, a centralized ultrasound laboratory seems to be what the future holds.
CR, DR breast cancer screening performance comparable
June 14, 2013 -- Radiologists reading breast screening studies had comparable performance regardless of whether the images were acquired with computed radiography (CR) or digital radiography (DR) mammography systems, according to a Belgian study published online in European Radiology. Still, DR delivered a lower radiation dose than CR.
New approach may elevate thyroid elastography performance
June 13, 2013 -- Ultrasound elastography has established a role in breast imaging, and the thyroid is one of the next clinical applications on the horizon. Polish researchers recently unveiled a new data analysis method that may improve the technique's ability to characterize benign from malignant thyroid nodules.
Simple guidelines can improve appropriateness of CCTA referrals
June 12, 2013 -- LIVERPOOL, U.K. - As cardiac CT services are accessed by an ever wider range of referrers, ongoing education is needed to ensure appropriate use, and simple guidelines can achieve this effectively for cardiac CT angiography (CCTA), a leading group of researchers told attendees at this week's U.K. Radiological Conference.
Diplomania -- or the value of 'excellence'
June 12, 2013 -- Some people believe quality control has become easier with the arrival of computers and the Internet. But is that really the case? And are dozens of diplomas in a doctor's office any guarantee of competence? Dr. Peter Rinck, PhD, provides the answers.
France lends support to postmortem CT
June 11, 2013 -- The seemingly irresistible proliferation of postmortem CT is continuing apace. The technique is already thriving in Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K., the U.S., and Australia, and now a major study from France -- thought to be the nation's first on postmortem CT -- has produced a positive outcome.
Women can start colon cancer screening later than men
June 10, 2013 -- Women can be screened for colorectal cancer five to 10 years later than men, according to an Italian study published on June 11 in Cancer. The different findings for men and women in more than 7,000 patients could eventually translate into different screening recommendations based on gender, the investigators wrote.
CARS Interview: Intraoperative image access advances
June 10, 2013 -- Accurate real-time depiction is key to appropriate diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients when under challenging time pressures, according to the president of the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS 2013) meeting Dr. Nassir Navab.
Hand x-ray art project gets slap on the wrist
June 7, 2013 -- It seems that art and science do not always mix, at least according to the French Nuclear Safety Authority. Triggered by an art exhibit involving roughly 100 hand radiographs, the agency served a reminder to those involved and the general public that x-ray scans for artistic purposes are considered unlawful.
Could chest tomo be a first-line lung cancer screening tool?
June 6, 2013 -- With all the attention being paid to CT lung cancer screening, what about x-ray? Italian researchers believe that radiology's oldest modality could be revived as a screening tool with a technological twist -- digital tomosynthesis. They describe their findings in the June edition of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.
