But are all those scans really necessary in the absence of serious signs of injury? No, say Noam Millo, MD, and colleagues from the University of Alberta in Edmonton.November 10, 2010CTIndividualized contrast injection keeps up with triple-rule-out CTSunday, November 28 | 10:55 a.m.-11:05 a.m. | SSA04-02 | Room S404CDOutrunning the contrast bolus can be a real problem with state-of-the art CT equipment that scans the thorax in less than a second. But J. Michael Barraza and colleagues from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston found excellent results with a contrast injector equipped with an individualized patient-based contrast media injection algorithm.November 10, 2010CTRoad to RSNA 2010: CT PreviewAt this year's RSNA conference, technical innovation leading to speed and image sharpness continue to make CT popular with radiologists and bean counters alike.
