MRI use linked to patient mortality in Irish study

A new study of MRI use at a hospital in Ireland paints a complex picture of the modality, with higher in-hospital mortality and longer hospital stays for patients who got MRI scans. However, this could be because the patients were more acutely ill, according to an article in the July Journal of the American College of Radiology.

European debate arises over best PET/CT parameters for NSCLC

An interesting dialogue has developed on the worth of maximum standardized uptake values from FDG-PET/CT scans to accurately diagnose mediastinal disease in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In an editorial in European Journal of Radiology, Italian researchers question conclusions from a recently published Irish study.
