MRI beats mammography, US in detecting breast cancer in high-risk women
By Cynthia E. Keen
VIENNA - Breast MRI should be an integral part of annual breast cancer surveillance for high-risk women, according to researchers from Vienna. They compared mammography, ultrasound, and MRI for breast cancer screening in this patient population, and presented their findings at the 2008 European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

Obese patients challenge efficacy of cardiac CTA
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is proving useful for evaluating most patients with suspected coronary artery disease, particularly since the introduction of 64-slice scanners. But information about CTA's performance in certain subpopulations, such as obese patients, is lacking. Researchers from Belgium studied whether coronary CTA was useful in this patient population, and presented their findings at the 2008 European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

Prospective gating drops cardiac CT radiation dose
By Brian Casey
VIENNA - Prospective gating has emerged as a promising method for reducing radiation dose in coronary CT angiography (CTA) studies. Monday at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR), Italian researchers confirmed previous results in using prospective gating to reduce dose to as little as 2.8 mSv per heart study, while a German group discussed its effort to further refine prospective gating by making it more accurate.

PET/CT beats 3T MRI in whole-body primary tumor staging
By Rob Skelding
VIENNA - Finding how far a patient's cancer has spread is critical in planning and optimizing treatment. Various imaging techniques now provide indispensable tools for staging primary tumors, but a new comparative study found fused whole-body PET/CT to be significantly more accurate than whole-body MRI -- even at 3 tesla -- for primary tumor staging.

CT maintains edge over MRI in liver transplant planning
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - Researchers from Germany have found that CT still does a better job than MRI of defining critical vasculature for living donor liver transplant planning, thereby enhancing overall safety for the donors. They compared the results of preoperative CT and MR cholangiography in potential liver donors, and presented their findings Monday at the 2008 European Congress of Radiology (ECR).
