Web-based model improves prediction of coronary artery disease
A new Web-based prediction tool can help identify patients at high risk of coronary artery disease. The model, developed by 18 hospitals in Europe and the U.S., outperforms the most widely used risk models for predicting coronary artery disease in low-risk patients with new-onset chest pain, according to a Dutch expert.

Postmortem CT shows cause of death after acute chest pain
Postmortem CT angiography combined with image-guided biopsy can nearly always determine the cause of death in patients who succumb after acute chest pain, a question that has often gone unanswered, according to a Swiss study published in Radiology.

Coronary CT angiography proves accurate for both sexes
A multiyear Dutch study has found that coronary CT angiography delivers similar diagnostic accuracy in men and women. Numerous factors separating the sexes in evaluation of coronary artery disease have conspired against this conclusion, but the trial found sensitivity and specificity were within close range for men and women.

320-detector CT angiography covers aorta, coronaries
Using ECG-gated 320-detector-row CT, cardiac imaging researchers have developed a CT angiography scan protocol that includes the heart and the entire aorta in four or five heartbeats -- all using prospective gating that reduces the radiation dose to reasonable levels considering the scan length.

Cardiac CT equivalent to MRI for post-transplant evaluations
Dual-source CT is as accurate as MRI, and better than echo, for evaluating the left ventriculum years after patients receive transplanted hearts, according to a joint Spanish and Italian study in the European Journal of Radiology that compared dual-source CT and echocardiography with cardiac MRI.

Cost-effectiveness doubts remain over CT colonography
The sensitivity and patient acceptability of CT colonography suggest it's a useful examination for colorectal cancer, but whether screening with the technique is cost-effective will depend on its efficiency in detecting extracolonic findings and on how population-based screening plays out, according to Dutch and U.K. experts.

CT software enables custom-made shoulder implants
Researchers in Austria are using CT to create perfect copies of patients' shoulder joints to replace their own worn-out parts. The research project shows how 3D models and special mathematical methods can be used to improve the design and integration of implants on an individual-patient basis.

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.
