New VC CAD applications show promise as second reader

The first large multicenter trial of a VC CAD scheme is showing real promise, with high sensitivity and specificity for detecting colorectal polyps. And another recent study from Japan shows that CAD can improve the ability to detect colorectal polyps by everyone who uses it.

MDCT edges US for fibrillation RFCA planning

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) does a respectable job of planning radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrial fibrillation, and offers some unique strengths, such as real-time imaging during the procedure. But multidetector-row CT held onto its gold-standard status in a new study from Europe.

Multicenter VC trial begins with high hopes, state-of-the-art protocol

A new multicenter trial under way in the U.S. aims to assess VC's efficacy as a screening tool compared with conventional colonoscopy, using an up-to-the-minute VC protocol. Researchers for the ACRIN National CT Colonography Trial hope it will provide the definitive word on CT colonography's current capabilities.

Innovative MDCT raises the bar in esophageal cancer staging

Esophageal cancer is highly curable when caught early, but usually fatal when advanced, making accurate staging crucial. Researchers from Japan are improving CT's ability to stage esophageal cancer. A group from Kyoto compared arterial- to venous-phase imaging for esophageal cancer, while a team from Chiba used ECG gating to reduce motion artifacts in assessing pericardial invasion of advanced esophageal cancer.

Minimal-prep VC preferred over colonoscopy

Patients experience less discomfort during optical colonoscopy than they do with virtual, according to a study from the University of California, Los Angeles. It's the pain that lingers after conventional colonoscopy that tips the patient-preference balance toward VC, the research team concluded.

Study optimizes CT kidney scan delay with bolus tracking

The availability of more detector rows on multidetector CT scanners has speeded up kidney scans along with everything else. But it has also made contrast timing all the more critical, and spurred the routine use of bolus-tracking programs.
