Eric Barnes[email protected]CTCT speeds antiangiogenesis therapy assessmentCT perfusion imaging can spot significant changes in blood flow and volume soon after administration of antiangiogenic therapy, researchers from Munich, Germany, report in a new animal study. Faster assessment can lead to nimbler, more flexible cancer care compared to traditional tumor size measurements.June 13, 2010CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderJune 9, 2010CTCardiac model favors treadmill then CTA for low-risk patientsA new cost-effectiveness model gives surprising prominence to the exercise treadmill test for evaluating patients with suspected coronary artery disease. In fact, treadmill plus imaging -- especially coronary CT angiography (CTA) for low-risk patients -- was more cost-effective than any imaging modality alone.June 6, 2010CTDelayed contrast reactions are frequent and underreportedDelayed allergic reactions to CT contrast media occur more frequently than previously reported, says a new study in the June issue of Radiology. Radiologists need to keep an eye out for these patients -- who have often already left the facility -- to counsel them and respond appropriately.June 3, 2010CTDual-energy VC aims for noninvasive polyp evaluationDual-energy CT may find itself forging a new path in virtual colonoscopy by not only finding colorectal lesions but characterizing them in ways other noninvasive techniques cannot, according to a presentation at the International Society for Computed Tomography conference.June 1, 2010Cardiac ImagingAuntMinnie.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderMay 31, 2010InterventionalCardiac CAD safely rules out coronary artery diseaseA computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm that detects coronary artery stenosis at coronary CT angiography not only helped less experienced readers find more lesions, it ruled out adverse cardiac events for more than a year in patients who had disease symptoms but were read by CAD as negative.May 31, 2010MRIMRI boosts diagnosis of constrictive pericarditisMeasuring the early filling fraction can improve MRI's ability to diagnose constrictive pericarditis, according to new research from Michigan and Pennsylvania. The secret to MRI's success lies in its functional measures, which outperform conventional morphologic signs of disease, investigators said.May 27, 2010CTAuntMinnie.com Virtual Colonoscopy InsiderMay 26, 2010CTAppendicitis: Positive CT outweighs lack of symptomsPatients with CT results suggestive of appendicitis but who have normal clinical presentation should probably proceed to appendectomy sooner to avoid it later, concludes a large retrospective study from the University of California, San Francisco.May 26, 2010Previous PagePage 124 of 258Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingImaging to have key role in new guidelines on managing mastitisMedical societies have issued guidelines on managing mastitis in women, including considerations for ultrasound and mammography.Digital X-RayCan radiologists, AI reliably identify lung abnormalities on x-ray?Womens ImagingModern EBRT reduces CVD risk in breast cancer patientsMolecular ImagingPET/CT metric improves outcome predictions in Pluvicto patientsSponsor ContentModernizing Radiotherapy Workflows
