MDCT reliably gauges vascular infiltration in pancreatic cancer
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - Radiologists at the University of Pisa in Italy have found high-resolution MDCT to be a reliable predictor of the degree of vascular infiltration in pancreatic cancer, light years ahead of what single-slice exams once produced, and comparable to US-guided laparoscopy.

Lung nodule analysis makes progress, not perfection
By Eric Barnes
Researchers at the 2003 RSNA meeting examined CT lung imaging beyond the issue of nodule detection, i.e., nodule tracking, analysis, and follow-up using both automated and manual tools. These tasks are far more challenging than detection, of course, so automation's benefits to date are less convincing. Still, important progress is being made.

Multiphasic MDCT with contrast boosts liver, urography results
By Eric Barnes
Contrast agents and thin-slice MDCT protocols are delivering a potent one-two punch in abdominal imaging. Investigators from the U.K. recently demonstrated the broad clinical utility of dual-phase MDCT for the investigation of hematuria. And radiologists from Ireland recently reported that the gastrointestinal hormone secretin boosted CT contrast enhancement significantly in multiphasic liver imaging.
