ECR NSF studies raise as many questions as answers

By Cynthia E. Keen

VIENNA - Three studies presented Friday at the 2008 European Congress of Radiology (ECR) reinforced a correlation between gadolinium MRI contrast and renal patients who subsequently developed nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). But significant questions still remain about the etiology of this mysterious disease.

Routine CT scanning is most cost-effective for minor head injuries

By Rob Skelding

VIENNA - Trying to be more selective about which patients receive a CT scan following minor head injury may sound like a good idea, but most of the major selective strategies are less cost-effective and riskier to patients than just routinely scanning all such patients. That's according to new data presented Friday at the 2008 European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

Automated patient-based contrast application cuts CTA contrast volume, risk

By Eric Barnes

VIENNA - A work-in-progress application that bases coronary CT angiography (CTA) contrast dose and timing on a patient's individual cardiac output significantly reduces contrast media use and, by extension, the risk of nephropathy, according to a study presented Friday at the 2008 European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

ECR sessions examine DBT's effectiveness

By Brian Casey

Clinical investigators shared their experiences with DBT systems from four different manufacturers, and reported on the advantages of DBT compared to conventional full-field digital mammography (FFDM).
