Study: Reduce CT kV levels to lower breast dose in patients
Despite a short scan length and relatively small dose length product, contrast-monitoring scans can account for 27% of the overall breast dose accrued from a CT pulmonary angiography study, according to Irish researchers. A small tweak to the kilovoltage (kV) can significantly reduce radiation dose to the breast, they noted.

EUSOBI paper seeks united approach to breast imaging
The European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) and 30 national breast radiology bodies have released a position paper in a bid for clarity on breast cancer screening and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The group's top priority is double-read, biennial mammography for women 50 to 69 years old, but it urges everybody to prepare for screening with DBT.

ESUR issues new MR guidelines on adnexal masses
The European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) has updated its guidance on MRI of the sonographically indeterminate adnexal mass integrating functional techniques. One of the more significant changes concerns solid adnexal masses with low T2 signal, for which diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is recommended now.
