JACR editorial: Medicare used double standard in VC decision
A new editorial questions whether the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services really needs new age-specific clinical trials before approving reimbursement for virtual colonoscopy screening -- or whether the agency is merely using the new stance as an excuse to deny VC reimbursement.

VC researchers weigh 3 iodine tagging regimens
A laxative-and-tagging regimen consisting of iodinated contrast plus a sodium phosphate mixture showed the best cleansing results among three concoctions in preparing for virtual colonoscopy exams. But a two-day regimen of iodinated contrast and a mild laxative at mealtime was better accepted by patients, according to a new study from Italy.

Flat-polyp measurements show less variability in 3D VC
For flat lesions detected at virtual colonoscopy, measuring the longest single dimension at 3D appears to minimize interobserver variability compared to 2D methods, according to a new study published September 7 in Academic Radiology.

Firm promotes BioShield pill to address dose dilemma
Can swallowing a pill before your next CT scan prevent oxidative tissue damage from radiation? Developers promoting a new line of nutritional supplements called BioShield say it can, and they're gearing up to sell the product as a patient protection tool for hospitals and other entities that use ionizing radiation.

Too many CT rescans seen in transferred ED patients
CT scans are often reinterpreted when patients are transferred from one hospital's emergency department (ED) to another. But patients are also scanned again when they arrive at the new institution -- more frequently and for more dubious reasons than one might think, according to a new study from Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Insurance coverage and doctor visits boost colon screening rates
A new study of more than 20,000 screening-age individuals in Texas found that health insurance coverage and regular doctor visits were the main drivers of colorectal cancer screening, which remained dismally low overall in a community-based healthcare system.

Chest MDCT offers value as breast imaging tool
Standard MDCT is an increasingly important modality for breast imaging, helping to find lesions that ultrasound, MRI, and even mammography can miss and increasing the utility of biopsy techniques. From incidental to interventional breast cancer imaging, there is much radiologists can do to exploit CT's abilities.

Can ictal SPECT make a comeback in epilepsy patients?
By Will Morton
A feasibility study could revive interest in SPECT seizure imaging to help neurosurgeons guide brain surgery in epilepsy patients.
January 16, 2024
Schematic of triggered ictal SPECT and data processing. (A) Previously screened and selected sEEG bipolar contact is stimulated to trigger patient-typical seizure. Directly after seizure onset, confirmed through sEEG signals and semiology, systemic bolus of radiotracer (Tc-99m HMPAO) is administered. Planned SPECT is acquired within less than one hour. (B) Raw data processing from left to right (dataset from participant three as example). Postimplantation CT and preimplantation T1-weighted MRI are coregistered for sEEG lead localization. Raw SPECT images are coregistered to T1-weighted MRI sequence. SPECT deviation map is computed and anatomically colocalized with sEEG signals. Image courtesy of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
