Eric Barnes[email protected]Nuclear MedicineBig cumulative doses seen at cardiac SPECT MPIPatients undergoing SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) receive high cumulative radiation doses and often undergo repeat scans with the modality, concludes a study of more than 1,000 patients published online November 15 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.November 21, 2010InterventionalRoad to RSNA 2010: Interventional Radiology PreviewThis year's RSNA 2010 scientific sessions reflect the energy that is driving innovation in interventional radiology, with topics ranging from breast biopsy with 3D digital breast tomosynthesis to CT-guided cryoablation for kidney lesions to a novel fusion imaging system for ablation of liver tumors.November 18, 2010InterventionalRadiofrequency ablation safe for multifocal renal neoplasmsFriday, December 3 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SST16-02 | Room E353BRadiofrequency ablation is a good renal sparing alternative to surgery for patients with multifocal renal tumors, and the complication rate is no higher than for patients with single tumors, researchers from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC, have found.November 18, 2010Image-Guided SurgeryCT-guided cryoablation safe for kidney lesionsFriday, December 3 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SST16-01 | Room E353BThere's more than one way to kill a kidney cancer without surgery. Freezing renal tumors percutaneously is safe and effective and delivers very low complication rates, say researchers from Duke University in Durham, NC.November 18, 2010InterventionalBrachytherapy plus cryotherapy cuts lung cancer recurrenceWednesday, December 1 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSK04-01 | Room S504ABCryotherapy is a safe and effective option for lung cancer treatment, particularly in patients with unresectable tumors. In this scientific session, researchers from China will address the high recurrence rates that can affect this treatment.November 18, 2010Image-Guided SurgeryPreoperative MRI predicts upgrade of DCIS to invasive breast cancerTuesday, November 30 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSJ01-06 | Room E352MRI of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) can help determine which lesions are likely to upgrade to invasive cancers, researchers from New York University Medical Center in New York City will report in this Tuesday afternoon presentation.November 18, 2010InterventionalWide variations in left atrial anatomy seen in ablation patientsTuesday, November 30 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSJ05-01 | Room S504ABLeft atrial anatomy is highly variable between patients, and this variability can affect the ablation strategy, according to John Hare and colleagues from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison.November 18, 2010Advanced VisualizationBreast biopsies successful with integrated 3D digital breast tomosynthesisTuesday, November 30 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m.| SSJ01-01 | Room E352French researchers using 3D digital breast tomosynthesis are finding lesions that can't be visualized on conventional 2D mammography, and by integrating a tomosynthesis biopsy unit, they say they can biopsy and analyze a broader range of breast lesions compared with 2D digital mammography.November 18, 2010InterventionalOnyx embolization feasible, safe for head and neck tumorsMonday, November 29 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSE17-06 | Room N229For preoperative preparation of patients with highly vascularized head and neck tumors, embolization with Onyx is safe and more effective than standard preoperative endovascular embolization with polyvinyl alcohol microparticles, according to a German study.November 18, 2010CTCTA parameters quantify arterial narrowing in aSAH patientsMonday, November 29 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSE17-03 | Room N229In patients presenting with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), whole-brain CT perfusion (CTP) and CT angiography (CTA) provide baseline perfusion parameters for future comparison when CTA is performed for evaluating a suspected ruptured aneurysm, researchers will report in this Monday session.November 18, 2010Previous PagePage 112 of 258Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalLung biopsy before surgery linked to cancer recurrenceThe findings confirm concerns about “tumor cell spillage” during the procedure.CTAbnormal CT-FFR results translate to up to 7 years of cardiovascular riskMolecular ImagingPSMA-PET/CT reporting varies widely in the U.S.Womens ImagingAuditing preop MRIs is feasible under upcoming BI-RADS recommendationsSponsor ContentRegister Now: Breaking Barriers in Breast Imaging Webinar
