Italian researchers cut gadolinium dose -- as well as NSF risk

A half dose of a commercially available MRI contrast agent works as well as a full dose in patients with acute myocardial infarction, according to Italian researchers. The findings show it's possible to achieve shorter imaging times while protecting renally impaired cardiac patients at risk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).

FDG-PET uptake helps predict vascular events in cancer patients

German researchers have discovered that FDG uptake in major arteries is the "strongest predictor of a subsequent vascular event" in cancer patients, with severe calcification also indicating high risk, according to an article published in the October issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Cardiac MR changes management in 62% of cases, study shows

A German study has found that cardiovascular MR changes clinical management in approximately two-thirds of heart patient cases and can also eliminate the need for additional imaging procedures. Researchers also concluded that cardiovascular MR with contrast is safe and produces diagnostic-quality images in 98% of cases.

Noncontrast CT with PET reduces melanoma radiation dose

Using a low-dose protocol and eliminating contrast from the CT portion of PET/CT studies resulted in only slightly lower sensitivity for detecting metastases in melanoma patients, while delivering less radiation and no exposure to potential contrast reactions, German researchers found.
