How to handle noncooperative patients in abdominal MRI
By Philip Ward
Getting images of sufficient quality for clinical evaluation in children as well as agitated or sedated patients represents a major challenge in abdominal MRI because the need for many sequences requires a breath-hold of about 15-20 seconds. Portuguese radiologists have outlined how to address this problem.

ESGAR publishes consensus statement on CT colonography
By Eric Barnes
The European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) has published its first update on CT colonography (CTC) guidelines since 2007. Its working group on CTC has endorsed 86 statements, reaching near-complete agreement on 71 of the 86 items relating to critical practice areas affecting CTC.

DWI-MRI monitors response to colorectal cancer treatment
By Wayne Forrest
The ability of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to create good reproducibility, correlate with histopathology, and enhance sensitivity to assess treatment results may make MRI an "excellent tool" to monitor response in metastatic colorectal cancer patients, according to a new Dutch study.

2 radiographers read CTC studies as well as 1 radiologist
By Eric Barnes
When it comes to reading CT colonography (CTC) studies, a radiographer is no match for a trained radiologist. But two radiographers are another matter entirely: They were equivalent to, and maybe slightly better than, a single radiologist, according to a new Dutch study in Radiology.

CAD-first scheme speeds virtual colonoscopy reads
By Eric Barnes
Does virtual colonoscopy need the kind of speed that only computer-aided detection (CAD) can provide? An advanced reading technique cut interpretation times to a minimum by using CAD first for polyp detection -- followed by the radiologist, who looked only at CAD results, according to a new study from Europe and the U.S. in European Radiology.

Get savvy on pancreatic cancer staging, experts urge
By Philip Ward
Abdominal radiologists must be familiar with fundamental staging points of pancreatic cancer and interpretation of imaging findings, leading to optimal patient management selection, a top research group from Amsterdam has emphasized.

Revised system gives boost to esophageal cancer staging
By Philip Ward
Radiologists must understand the relevant imaging appearances and changes in the revised tumor-node-metastasis classification for esophageal cancer's staging system, which is data-driven and better correlates the interplay between the tumor and the node.

CT colonography can boost detection of flat polyps
By Eric Barnes
Flat colorectal lesions aren't easy to detect on CT colonography. But a group from Japan did quite well finding them after patients underwent bowel cleansing and automated insufflation before CT scanning, according to a new study in the Scandinavian journal Acta Radiologica.

Keep vigilant when it comes to hepatic adenoma
By Philip Ward
MRI can classify hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) into precise subgroups, and has become a robust diagnostic tool that is of great importance because HCA management is related -- aside from gender and tumoral size -- to the subtype, according to a top research group from France.

DWI-MRI shows tumor response after RF ablation
By Wayne Forrest
Using 3-tesla diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), Swiss researchers found that apparent diffusion coefficient values of malignant liver lesions successfully treated by radiofrequency (RF) ablation may help radiologists monitor tumor response within six months of therapy, according to a study published online on 18 July in the European Journal of Radiology.
