CT lung screening gets boost by adding COPD sequence
By James Brice
Low-dose CT lung screening has already demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing mortality from lung cancer. Now, Dutch researchers have found that adding a short sequence to the low-dose CT protocol can help the modality detect chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a study published on Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

SIIM regional meeting focuses on Calif. dose reporting bill
By Rebekah Moan
SAN FRANCISCO - California's new radiation dose reporting law was the focus of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine's (SIIM) first regional meeting. Attendees heard from inspectors on how they plan to enforce the law, which could become a model for other states concerned about radiation overdose.

3D animation of CT images of mastodon rib
The video is made from CT scans that reveal a dense object made from bone embedded in the mastodon rib. The object is shaped to a point, which is penetrated 2.15 cm into the rib, after which it broke after entering the rib and separated from the main shaft. The combined length of the point fragment (tip length plus the length of the embedded and external shaft piece) is 3.5 cm.

Low-kV DECT finds more pathology with less radiation, contrast
By Eric Barnes
Low-kV dual-energy CT (DECT) of the abdomen is gaining currency as a CT technique that can reveal pathology hidden on traditional imaging techniques, using less radiation and less contrast media. It can also be performed using a variety of methods, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

VC shows mostly advantages in postcolostomy surveillance
By Eric Barnes
Virtual colonoscopy is technically feasible and less invasive than conventional colonoscopy for surveillance after sigmoid colostomy, according to a study in the October American Journal of Roentgenology. But better techniques are needed before it can be used routinely, the researchers said.

'Rapid prototyping' puts CT images in doctors' hands
By Eric Barnes
These days, multidetector-row CT is producing vast quantities of 3D and 4D data for diagnostic and interventional use. But for all its multidimensionality, most of the output is still served up on a flat screen. That could be changing with a process called "rapid prototyping" that creates physical models from imaging data.
