Study recommends skipping gonad shields in pediatric x-rays

VIENNA - Gonad shielding is more trouble than it's worth, concluded Dutch researchers in a study of more than 700 children undergoing x-ray exams of the abdomen and pelvis. Shield placement is rarely correct, they said, and crucial anatomy ends up being covered even when performed correctly, especially in girls.

Radiographer's role grows in planning, image interpretation

VIENNA - As radiographers in Europe increasingly take over tasks once reserved for radiologists, investigators continue to find that their skills are often equivalent to if not better than those of their physician partners, according to two radiography presentations Saturday at the European Congress of Radiology.

High-pitch DSCTA often repeated, but dose still lower

VIENNA - Nearly one in five coronary CT angiography scans acquired with an emerging high-pitch dual-source CT angiography (DSCTA) protocol needs to be repeated. But the low-dose acquisitions possible mean even repeated scans have lower overall doses than comparable 64-detector-row CTA scans, researchers reported at the European Congress of Radiology.

CT limited for detection of subtle aortic tears

VIENNA - Even with electrocardiographic gating, CT angiography cannot confidently visualize subtle aortic tears of the ascending aorta. Transesophageal echocardiography may be a better option in some patients, according to a presentation Thursday at the European Congress of Radiology.

DECT for myocardial perfusion does more for less than SPECT

A study published online February 1 in the European Journal of Radiology found that dual-energy (DE) coronary CT angiography (CTA) outperformed SPECT for assessing myocardial perfusion in patients with suspected coronary artery disease.

Unfilled vacancies and disparities persist in nuclear medicine

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.
