Monitor breast screening on the local level, Dutch say

Researchers have found significant variations in the performance of pairs of radiologists assigned to double read screening mammograms in a breast cancer screening program in the Netherlands. The findings emphasize the importance of monitoring radiologist performance on a local scale, they concluded.

BJR: Cumulative dose shouldn't influence decisions on CT

Using cumulative dose estimates to influence whether a patient should get a CT scan is "tantamount to introducing dose limits for patients" and "unnecessarily restricts access" to radiation-based diagnostic exams, according to an editorial in the British Journal of Radiology.

X-ray works for identifying drug mules

Digital radiography (DR) is a good tool for detecting cases of methamphetamine body packers, according to a new study in the British Journal of Radiology. But the unique nature of such radiography studies may call for additional training when radiologists are called to interpret images of suspected drug carriers.

CT adequate to make, exclude diagnosis for ovarian torsion, researchers say

CT is not significantly different from ultrasound in identifying ovarian torsion, according to a new study in the European Journal of Radiology. The results suggest when CT demonstrates ovarian torsion findings, another imaging exam (such as ultrasound) is unlikely to improve preoperative diagnostic yield.

Body CT shows breast abnormalities

The greater use of CT has resulted in more detection of incidental breast lesions unrelated to the primary diagnostic inquiry. It is important to have knowledge of imaging features that help in categorizing these lesions as benign or malignant, thereby guiding appropriate patient management.
