Sharper image: 3D phase-contrast tomo shows smaller breast tumors

Researchers from Germany, France, and the University of California, Los Angeles have collaborated to produce ultrasharp 3D breast images with a technique that delivers less radiation than a mammogram, according to an article published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Noncontrast CT may underestimate lung nodule volume

Low-dose unenhanced CT scans may underestimate the volume of smaller lung nodules compared with standard-dose contrast CT studies, creating potential problems when tracking nodules over time, wrote researchers in the October issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

2 radiographers read CTC studies as well as 1 radiologist

When it comes to reading CT colonography (CTC) studies, a radiographer is no match for a trained radiologist. But two radiographers are another matter entirely: They were equivalent to, and maybe slightly better than, a single radiologist, according to a new Dutch study in Radiology.

CAD-first scheme speeds virtual colonoscopy reads

Does virtual colonoscopy need the kind of speed that only computer-aided detection (CAD) can provide? An advanced reading technique cut interpretation times to a minimum by using CAD first for polyp detection -- followed by the radiologist, who looked only at CAD results, according to a new study from Europe and the U.S. in European Radiology.

ESC: 320-detector-row CTA plus perfusion helps triage patients

A two-step heart test consisting of 320-detector-row CT angiography (CTA) followed by CT perfusion helps separate patients who need invasive angiography from those who do not, according to results of the international CORE 320 study presented on Monday at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) annual meeting in Munich.

ESC: Fractional flow reserve CT finds vessels causing ischemia

Fractional flow reserve CT in patients with significant stenosis can distinguish those with coronary artery disease who need revascularization from those who don't, concluded a study presented this week at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting in Munich and published concurrently in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

CCTA determines which patients benefit from revascularization

Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) alone can determine the need for invasive cardiac intervention, according to a multicenter study of more than 15,000 patients presented on Sunday at the European Society of Cardiology meeting in Munich. In patients with high-risk heart disease at CT, revascularization boosted survival, while revascularization had no effect on those considered low risk.
