Perfusion CT evaluates effectiveness of antiangiogenic drugs in NSCLC
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 27 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | VSCH31-14 | Room N230Perfusion CT is more effective than Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) for evaluating the effectiveness of short-term antiangiogenic chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to a group from Calmette Hospital and the University of Lille in France.

Iterative reconstruction won't change diffuse lung disease diagnosis
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 27 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSG05-06 | Room S405ABThe use of iterative reconstruction brings important benefits, but it may have little effect on quantifying regional disease patterns in diffuse lung disease -- meaning the techniques can be used interchangeably, according to a study from University of Ulsan College of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea.

Spectral CT can differentiate gastric carcinoma
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 27 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSG16-03 | Room S403BSpectral CT can be used to distinguish moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma from poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and is helpful for evaluating the differentiation state of gastric cancers, say researchers from China.

Contrast-induced nephropathy incidence is overestimated
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 27 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSG08-03 | Room S102DCarefully performed studies suggest that the incidence and severity of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after IV contrast injection for CT studies has been overestimated, according to researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, who examined the incidence and severity of CIN in a meta-analysis.

Dynamic bow-tie attenuation filter improves CT resolution
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 27 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSG17-01 | Room S404ABIn a proof-of-concept experiment, use of a new dynamic bow-tie filter yielded lower doses and higher CT image resolution. Details of the University of Wisconsin research will be presented in this Tuesday scientific session.

Tweaking criteria fine-tunes definition of resectable pancreatic cancer
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 27 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSG07-01 | Room E353CDecision-making in borderline resectable pancreatic cancers may benefit from refinement of the preoperative CT criteria for venous involvement, concluded researchers from Tata Memorial Centre in Mumbai, India.

Photon-counting CT improves vulnerable plaque detection
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSE21-02 | Room S403APhoton-counting CT detectors can enhance vulnerable coronary plaque detection and enable differentiation between plaque types, say researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

128-detector-row CT permits sharp contrast dose reductions for CTPA
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSE05-02 | Room S404CDCutting the contrast dose by two-thirds doesn't degrade image quality in CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) acquired on a 128-detector-row scanner, say researchers from Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve Medical School.

Technique categorizes pleural effusion size at CT
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSC04-09 | Room S404CDA simple system for quantifying pleural effusions on CT could improve physician agreement and reporting of findings, while helping to guide patient management, according to a new study from Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Myocardial disease may explain higher event rates in blacks
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSC02-08 | Room S504ABGenerally higher myocardial measurements may explain the greater prevalence of cardiac events in blacks compared with whites, according to research from the Medical University of South Carolina, Heidelberg University, and three other centers.

MBIR tops ASIR for ultralow-dose CT enterography
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SSC05-04 | Room E353ARadiation doses from CT enterography can be dramatically reduced with the use of iterative reconstruction. Find out how model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) came out on top in this Monday scientific session.

Low-attenuation clusters at CT aid in quantifying emphysema in COPD patients
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSC03-01 | Room S404ABLow-attenuating lung regions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients do correlate with the presence of emphysema and spirometric measurements, concluded researchers from Japan.
