Eric Barnes[email protected]CTContrast use doesn't change acute kidney injury rateThe use of contrast media in x-ray and CT exams is probably less harmful to the kidneys than previously thought, and clinicians should reconsider the wisdom of withholding important imaging exams based on their use of contrast, even in individuals at risk, concludes a just-published study in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.September 28, 2016CTBreast shielding doesn't affect DNA damage from CTThe use of breast shields during coronary CT angiography studies in women had no effect on the amount of DNA damage patients sustained during exams, but it did degrade image quality, according to a new study in the October issue of Radiology.September 25, 2016Advanced VisualizationSimulation training boosts cardiac surgery skillsThoracic surgery residents mastered complex cardiothoracic surgery skills after participating in a surgery simulation training program, according to a pair of papers in the Annals of Thoracic Surgery that examined the effectiveness of the virtual operating theater-based course and solicited trainees' experiences.September 20, 2016CTBlunt abdominopelvic trauma algorithm cuts CT use in ERNearly one-third fewer patients presenting to the emergency department with blunt abdominopelvic trauma ended up getting a CT scan after a Boston hospital implemented a clinical algorithm to triage patients away from unnecessary CT exams, according to a new study published September 12 in Radiology.September 15, 2016CTAuntMinnie.com CT InsiderSeptember 13, 2016CTCT data predict survival of prostate cancer patientsPatients are said to die with -- not from -- prostate cancer. In fact, more than 90% of prostate cancer patients end up dying from something else. A new study in Radiology explored how long those patients might expect to live, using data enriched by routine CT scans that prostate cancer patients undergo before treatment.September 13, 2016CTResearchers close in on radiation's cancer-causing mechanismsU.K. researchers studying human cancers have identified two characteristic patterns of DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation, enabling doctors to potentially determine which tumors were caused by radiation exposure, according to a study published on September 12 in Nature Communications.September 11, 2016CTReconstruction kernel cuts artifacts in CT MPIA new reconstruction algorithm can erase beam-hardening artifacts in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in dual-source CT, bolstering the reliability of the increasingly popular examination, according to a U.S.-German study in European Radiology.September 6, 2016CTESC: CT is effective gatekeeper for invasive angioIn stable patients with chest pain and suspected coronary artery disease, using coronary CT angiography to guide the selective use of invasive coronary angiography is safer and less expensive than sending patients directly to angiography, according to results presented on Monday at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress in Rome.August 31, 2016CTLonger CTC screening interval found safe, cost-effectiveA new analysis of screening intervals for CT colonography (CTC) found that it may be safe to wait as long as five to 10 years to screen again after an initial negative scan. The results are good news for the cost-effectiveness profile of CTC, investigators report in Radiology.August 30, 2016Previous PagePage 14 of 258Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingCase report: Pluvicto as a first-line treatment in late-stage prostate cancerSince 1996, the patient continually declined androgen deprivation therapy, chemotherapy, and local therapy to the prostate gland.MRINew brain MRI imaging technique could help identify Alzheimer'sRadiology EducationScholarly activity low among residency program directorsDigital X-Ray3D DEXA shows value in patients with prostate cancerSponsor ContentDigital Innovations Shaping the Future of Radiology
