Outsourced CT reads reliable even for emergency department

VIENNA - Can a hospital turn its critical after-hours emergency reads over to a teleradiology provider without putting patients at risk? It most likely can, according to a U.K. study of more than 1,000 patients, in results presented on Thursday at ECR 2013.

Study: Use CCTA 1st for lower-risk chest pain patients

Choosing cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) first to assess chest pain is more cost-effective than initial stress myocardial perfusion cardiac MR for all but the highest-risk patients, according to a presentation at the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance meeting.

CT features help predict resolving, nonresolving lung nodules

CT can't precisely distinguish resolving from persistent and potentially malignant lung nodules at the first scan, but it does reveal the probabilities associated with different nodule characteristics, Dutch radiologists have found.

It's time to curb costs and streamline care, Belgian expert urges

Radiologists need to streamline the care they provide to save money and maximize the value of their images -- or else others will do it for them, according to Dr. Frank Rademakers, PhD, in a keynote lecture at the recent 2013 Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance meeting.

Special CT, MR protocols fare well in spotting significant CAD

A multidetector-row CT protocol that comprises coronary CT angiography and stress-rest perfusion delivers equivalent results to a cardiac MRI myocardial perfusion protocol for detecting functionally significant coronary artery disease (CAD), according to a new study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

MRI shows increased epicardial fat in depressed patients

Cardiac MR reveals that patients with major depressive disorder have more epicardial fat deposits compared with normal controls -- and, as a result, depressed individuals face a higher risk of heart disease as well -- say researchers from Hannover, Germany.

CCTA sensitive for high-risk coronary disease, overcalls stenosis

Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is highly accurate for diagnosing the most dangerous forms of coronary artery disease -- left main artery disease or three-vessel disease -- but the examination significantly overcalls the extent of atherosclerosis compared with angiography, Dutch researchers reported at RSNA 2012.

Unfilled vacancies and disparities persist in nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine specialists have high career satisfaction, but unfilled vacancies and career disparities persist, finds a workforce survey by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM).

Dual PET imaging in Case Two illustrates a patient with discordant disease. FDG PET (b & d) shows FDG uptake in tail of pancreas primary lesion (yellow arrow), as well as multiple hepatic metastases (yellow boxes), with enlarged liver span. DOTATATE PET on left (a) shows several hepatic metastases that do not demonstrate DOTATATE uptake above background of liver parenchyma. The liver lesions in (c) demonstrate moderate FDG uptake in liver lesions, with no corresponding DOTATATE avidity (white box) or central photopenia (white arrow). This discordance in dual PET imaging corresponds to a NETPET score of 5. This suggests de-differentiated disease and a less favorable prognosis. The patient was not suitable for Lutate treatment and received chemotherapy.
