FDG-PET/CT recommended for staging Hodgkin's disease

A British study confirms the high sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT in identifying focal bony disease in patients with Hodgkin's disease, according to research presented at the recent 2008 RSNA meeting. The results further suggest that the imaging modality can play an important role in initial staging of the disease.

MR arthrography study finds 'optimal injection site'

Researchers in Spain are recommending that physicians use the upper third of the humeral head as the optimal injection site for anterior MR arthrography of the shoulder. They also concluded that it is "a simple, rapid procedure that is well tolerated by patients and reduces the radiation dose administered."

MRI outperforms MDCT in endoleak detection

Multidetector-row CT may soon find itself in competition with MRI for the imaging of endoleaks after endovascular repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Researchers found that MRI combined with a high relaxivity contrast agent had "significantly high sensitivity" for endoleak detection after EVAR when compared with MDCT.
