Cardiac CTA a no-go zone for some
The benefits of cardiac CT angiography (CTA) are potentially revolutionary, with its fast, comprehensive, one-stop look at the heart. But certain patients should not be scanned, and as gatekeepers, radiologists and cardiologists need to know which patients should be excluded.

2D primary reading plus CAD has an edge in VC study
In comparing 2D primary reading to 3D for virtual colonoscopy interpretation, 3D yielded lower sensitivity and more false positives, and took significantly longer to complete. But a computer-aided reading scheme applied to both methods was helpful, according to a study in the June issue of Radiology.

Data, not fear, should drive CT decisions in pregnancy
Deciding whether to scan a pregnant patient with CT can be one of the toughest decisions in radiology. At the recent International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT in San Francisco, two presenters addressed some of the risks and fears of CT in pregnancy.

Guidelines update postsurgery colorectal cancer surveillance
A new report updates the recommended colonoscopy follow-up guidelines in the U.S. following the resection of colorectal cancer stages I-III. The recommendations address only postsurgical endoscopic surveillance, but virtual colonoscopy providers may find the information useful for optimizing their own follow-up intervals.

Imaging's big future gets smaller
OSAKA - Radiology has traditionally focused on anatomic imaging, but the future of imaging is looking smaller -- at new ways of imaging diseases and metabolic pathways to diagnose and treat diseases at an earlier stage, according a presentation at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting.

Emphysema yields to computer-aided detection
OSAKA - Emphysema is the most common cause of respiratory deaths, but it is not particularly easy to diagnose. On Friday at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting, researchers from Japan discussed the development and testing of a computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme to help automate the diagnosis of emphysema with CT.

Breast CAD takes aim at architectural distortion
OSAKA - Researchers from Japan and Canada discussed their prototype CAD systems for detecting and evaluating architectural distortions on mammograms at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting on Thursday. Their success was dimmed by a relatively high rate of false positives, but the groups also found some cancers that mass-based systems overlooked.
