ESC: Cardiac CT gains steadily against angiography

PARIS - Angiography is invasive, costly, and too logistically cumbersome to be used as a diagnostic examination to rule out stenosis. That was the view of Dr. Stephan Achenbach, expressed in a heated debate during the European Society of Cardiology's (ESC) annual congress.

ESC: Cardiac MRI challenges SPECT in Paris debate

PARIS - The new guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) are unequivocal in strongly recommending functional testing before any invasive procedure for myocardial revascularization. Yet the choice of a test is left to the cardiologist who faces conflicting evidence.

French researchers aim for standardization in CT reporting

CT has emerged as a critical validation tool in assessing tumors. Yet radiology has an image problem with oncologists. Standardization of reporting should help convince oncologists about the value of imaging for assessing treatment, and ensure radiologists improve their reporting quality, according to French researchers.

Lateral spreading tumors (LSTs). (a–c) Example of LST-non-granular (LST-NG). (a) Sagittal 2D-image with 40–400-HU abdominal window setting indicates a large 5.6-cm lesion with subtle diffuse thickening of the rectal wall (white arrows); the surface is partially covered by a thin layer of orally administered contrast agent. (b) The appearance of the villous mat on the 3D endoscopic view highlights the nodular aspect (white arrows) at the periphery of the lesion. (c) The optical colonoscopy view with the final diagnosis of a carpet villous adenoma with low-grade dysplasia. (d–f) Example of an LST-granular (LST-G) lesion. (d) Sagittal 2D image indicating nodular thickening of the rectum wall with a 10-mm nodule (white arrow). (e) The 3D endoscopic view visualized the irregular LST with a large nodule (white arrow), similar to (f) the endoscopic image obtained the same day after CTC. It confirmed the diagnosis and allowed mucosectomy with a final pathology report of a tubulous lesion with high-grade dysplasia.
