CCTA beats calcium score for detecting obstructive disease
CHICAGO - Coronary artery calcium scoring has enormous value for predicting future cardiac events, according to decades of solid research. But it falls short of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for predicting the presence of obstructive disease in patients with acute chest pain, said researchers from Italy at the RSNA 2011 congress.

Tool fuses CTA and perfusion MR for cardiac evaluation
An experimental software tool that combines the analytical power of coronary CT angiography (CTA) and MR perfusion images of the heart can provide a comprehensive assessment of coronary artery patency and cardiac function that is superior to examining both separately, according to a new study.

'Rapid prototyping' puts CT images in doctors' hands
These days, multidetector-row CT is producing vast quantities of 3D and 4D data for diagnostic and interventional use. But for all its multidimensionality, most of the output is still served up on a flat screen. That could be changing with a process called "rapid prototyping" that creates physical models from imaging data.

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.
