Noncontrast-enhanced MRA of abdomen reduces NSF threat
By Wayne Forrest
Concerns about the possible link between gadolinium-based contrast agents and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) have led to an increase in noncontrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA), particularly for abdominal imaging, according to a paper in the October issue of the European Journal of Radiology.

WFUMB: Contrast agents advance in liver characterization
By Mélisande Rouger
VIENNA - Contrast-enhanced ultrasound can help to characterize liver disease, but it is tricky to know how best to proceed when ultrasound delivers very different results to those of CT or MR. Experts shared their knowledge of this topic at the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology congress.

WFUMB: Elastography transforms hepatic imaging
By David Zizka
Acoustic radiation force impulse is a new elastographic method that allows rapid assessment of liver fibrosis that seems free of adverse events, is comfortable for the patient and sonographer, and has a mean duration of around five minutes, according to a scheduled presenter at the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology congress.

WFUMB: Ultrasound assists in inflammatory bowel disease
By David Zizka
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is the most sensitive method for detecting even minor bowel blood flow, a relevant sign for inflammatory bowel disease, and is more powerful than ultrasound alone for characterizing inflammatory masses, according to a scheduled presenter at the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology congress.

Study argues against colorectal polyp surveillance
By Eric Barnes
French researchers are recommending against polyp surveillance for small colorectal lesions 6 to 9 mm in diameter, according to a new study in the August issue of Digestive and Liver Disease. The relatively high prevalence of advanced dysplasia in 6- to 9-mm lesions at colonoscopy renders the practice inadvisable, they said.

ISCT: Dual-energy virtual colonoscopy simplifies cancer staging
By Eric Barnes
SAN FRANCISCO - Dual-energy virtual colonoscopy may be able to replace several other exams for colorectal cancer patients -- all while streamlining staging, surgical planning, and the search for metastases, according to research presented last week at the International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) meeting.
