Automated exposure control delivers uneven CT dose reduction
By Eric Barnes
Reducing tube current may be a popular way to lower CT radiation dose, but it's not necessarily an effective one. In a new study, medical physicists from Greece found that organ dose reductions resulting from tube current modulation with automated exposure control can vary -- especially in children.

Bladder tumor risk higher after childhood cancer
By Reuters Health
NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Mar 5 - Childhood cancer survivors are at a fourfold increased risk of developing new cancers of the bladder later in life, new research shows. But their risk is still very small; fewer than one-half of a percent of all childhood cancer survivors will be diagnosed with bladder cancer by age 55.

320-row CT minimizes dose in pediatric abdominal studies
By Eric Barnes
It's no secret that CT radiation dose levels in children -- especially in the emergency department, where patients are fidgety and physicians need fast answers -- are too high. One solution, investigated by researchers from Toronto and Berlin, is wide-area-detector scans with 320-detector-row CT.

Scientific poster digital format offers potential to transform medium
By Cynthia E. Keen
CHICAGO - Displaying scientific posters in digital format at this year's RSNA meeting allows authors not only to convey facts, graphs, and photos, but also to incorporate some interactive functionality. Onsite digital displays offer huge potential to educate readers in ways that even the best developed paper poster cannot.
