CT, MRI look at different etiologies for myocardial fat

New studies appearing in Radiology online examine two different etiologies associated with myocardial fat deposits. Their presence on imaging studies, both in CT and MRI, can help radiologists evaluate the extent of disease and potential risks.

VC researchers weigh 3 iodine tagging regimens

A laxative-and-tagging regimen consisting of iodinated contrast plus a sodium phosphate mixture showed the best cleansing results among three concoctions in preparing for virtual colonoscopy exams. But a two-day regimen of iodinated contrast and a mild laxative at mealtime was better accepted by patients, according to a new study from Italy.

Most choose VC over colonoscopy, study shows

A new study from the Netherlands has found that most patients preferred reduced-prep virtual colonoscopy over conventional optical colonoscopy. Patients judged reduced-prep VC, both prep and procedure, as less burdensome, a fact the researchers hope could lead to greater compliance in colorectal cancer screening.

Brazilian team marries lung CAD with PACS

Nearly all computer-aided detection (CAD) systems in clinical use today have a major shortcoming: the need to transfer image data to a separate workstation to run CAD software, with CAD data remaining separate from the PACS images radiologists read in their normal workflow. Researchers from São Paulo may have the answer.

Dual-source coronary CTA has advantages over 64-slice

Even in patients with well-controlled heart rates, dual-source coronary CT angiography (CTA) delivers significantly higher specificity and accuracy per coronary segment compared to 64-detector-row CTA, concludes a new study from Switzerland.

Lower-kilovoltage coronary CTA maintains image quality

In a study that included all but the heaviest cardiac imaging patients, European and Japanese researchers were able to cut radiation dose by 31% in coronary CT angiography (CTA) studies by reducing the kilovoltage from 120 kV to 100 kV, with no difference in image quality.

Sophisticated electronic bowel cleansing boosts polyp detection

A new suite of investigational image-processing tools known as structure-analysis cleansing is improving the results of virtual colonoscopy scans performed after limited bowel preparation. The goal is to make virtual colonoscopy easier on patients and persuade them to get screened for colorectal cancer.

Prospectively gated coronary CTA nearly equals normal-dose scans

Researchers in Italy report that low-dose prospectively gated coronary CT angiography (CTA) scans are nearly equivalent to retrospectively gated exams in diagnostic accuracy, while reducing radiation dose by up to 72%, according to an article published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
