CT scanners show better agreement on risk than on CAC scores
VIENNA - State-of-the-art CT scanners produce widely divergent coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores, but at least they substantially agree on the risk levels of individuals undergoing the scans, according to a Saturday presentation at ECR 2014. However, even the risk agreement isn't strong enough.

CT features don't predict cardiac risk in lung screening patients
VIENNA - Spirometry and pulmonary CT parameters aren't helpful for predicting cardiac events in screening participants, even though such markers are independently associated with cardiovascular events in the lung cancer screening population as a whole, according to researchers from the Netherlands.

CT protocol review calls for consistency, teamwork
Refining your CT protocols is a great way to accomplish a number of goals, including radiation dose reduction, workflow efficiency, and meeting new accreditation requirements. A team approach is best for the task, according to a new article that offers guidance in the March Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Back problems? Skip the imaging, skip the surgery
Back pain is a huge global problem that ranks among the top 10 causes of disability. However, despite billions in medical costs, neither imaging nor surgery does patients much good most of the time, said Total Radiology keynote speaker Dr. Michael Modic at last month's 2014 Arab Health meeting.

Radiology residents love their iPads -- most of the time
Is the iPad making a big difference in the lives of radiology residents who have them? For education, definitely. For clinical use, not quite yet, though the situation is evolving rapidly, according to a survey in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Imaging looms large on new list of low-value emergency exams
If one list of unnecessary medical procedures is good, then two lists should be better, right? That could be the thinking behind a new list released this week in JAMA Internal Medicine of unnecessary tests in emergency medicine that are driving up healthcare costs. And the new list takes aim specifically at medical imaging.

Saudi hospital boots old PACS for new network
Faced with rapid growth and an obsolete PACS, a large hospital in Saudi Arabia decided to replace its nearly 10-year-old PACS with a new network from another vendor. The job was easier said than done, but it did get done thanks to a proactive team that planned for technical glitches and human roadblocks at every turn.
