Charlene Laino[email protected]Digital X-RayCT perfusion catches stroke cases that CTA missesSEATTLE - CT perfusion imaging with a 64-slice scanner is highly useful in evaluating patients with acute stroke, detecting abnormalities in nearly a third of patients in whom no occlusion is identified on conventional CT angiography (CTA), researchers reported at the 2009 American Academy of Neurology meeting.April 29, 2009Digital X-RayACC study: Coronary CTA tops other tests for long-term prognosisORLANDO - Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is better than conventional risk scores and calcium scoring at predicting the long-term prognosis of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease, researchers reported at the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology (ACC).April 1, 2009Nuclear MedicineACC study: Most cardiac SPECT scans are appropriateORLANDO - At a time of rising concerns about the overuse of medical imaging, researchers at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) annual meeting report that most nuclear cardiac scans are performed for appropriate indications. On the other hand, the highest percentage of inappropriate SPECT scans was performed in patients at low risk of heart disease.March 31, 2009MRILate MRI enhancement predicts death risk in hypertrophic cardiomyopathyIn patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myocardial late gadolinium enhancement on contrast-enhanced MRI may be a risk factor for cardiac death, preliminary research from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, suggests.December 17, 2008Digital X-RayCoronary CTA pinpoints at-risk CABG patientsCoronary CT angiography (CTA) can help pinpoint asymptomatic patients at high risk for adverse events after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, researchers reported at the 2008 RSNA annual meeting.December 10, 2008Digital X-RayCoronary CTA identifies ACS patients ready for ED dischargeCoronary CT angiography (CTA) can rapidly identify a subset of low- to moderate-risk patients presenting to the emergency department with symptoms suggesting acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who can be discharged without adverse clinical outcomes, according to a presentation at last week's annual RSNA meeting in Chicago.December 8, 2008Digital X-RayRadiologists identify, successfully treat new form of self-injuryCHICAGO - Radiologists are in a unique position to diagnose and treat a newly identified psychiatric disorder in which patients jam paper clips, staples, pencil lead, and other foreign objects into their bodies, according to a presentation at the 2008 RSNA meeting.December 2, 2008MRIMEG reveals sound processing delays in autistic childrenCHICAGO - Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), researchers have found that children with autism react to sound an average of 20 msec slower than other children -- a finding that may help to explain the language and communication impairments associated with the disorder.December 1, 2008CTPerfusion CT predicts tumor response to antiangiogenic treatmentCHICAGO - Dynamic perfusion CT imaging enables early assessment of the antivascular effects of antiangiogenic treatment in patients with advanced rectal cancer, researchers reported on Sunday at the 2008 RSNA annual meeting.November 30, 2008UltrasoundOverweight kids have worse cardiac ventricular functionNEW ORLEANS - Using a speckle tracking-based analysis tool that can analyze 2D data from ultrasound scanners, Australian researchers have shown that overweight and obese children have worse left ventricular function than their normal-weight counterparts, according to research presented at this week's American Heart Association (AHA) meeting.November 12, 2008Previous PagePage 2 of 3Next PageTop StoriesISMRM 2024ISMRM: Combining brain MRI, CT radiomics improves lung cancer prognosisCombining brain MRI and CT radiomic features improves prognosis prediction for lung cancer patients with brain metastasis, according to research presented at the ISMRM meeting.Digital X-RayNoncontrast fluoroscopy method can image chronic hypertensionNuclear MedicineARRS: How to manage the side effects of radiopharmaceuticalsISMRM 2024MRI provides new insights in mild traumatic brain injurySponsor ContentJourney to the Cloud: A Snapshot of Market Progress - May 22 @ 1pm EDT
