They published their results on 7 December in JAMA.December 7, 2021Clinical NewsFetuses exposed to alcohol show altered brain structure on MRIFetuses exposed to alcohol show altered brain structures on MRI compared with healthy counterparts, according to a study presented on 1 December by Austrian researchers at the RSNA 2021 meeting.December 7, 2021Clinical NewsAlcohol use causes altered brain structure in fetusesAustrian researchers have conducted what they say is the first MRI study to investigate prenatal alcohol exposure. They found that fetuses exposed to alcohol had increased volume in the corpus callosum and a decreased volume in the periventricular zone.December 2, 2021Clinical NewsIs low-dose CT adequate to diagnose appendicitis?Investigators from Finland have found appendicitis can be diagnosed with a low-dose CT protocol just as well as with CT at a standard radiation dose. Low-dose CT can also differentiate between cases that may require surgery, they said.November 23, 2021Previous PagePage 13 of 42Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingDublin team evaluates radiation dose in PSMA PET/CTReducing average injected dose and uptake time in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT can lead to improved patient throughput, according to Irish researchers.CTBelgium moves ahead with novel radiology referral schemeCTAssessing CT image quality: Which method is best?CTCT pearls from Ireland’s top orthopedic hospitalMolecular ImagingSPECT/CT identifies prostate cancer patients with poor outcomes
