Eric Barnes[email protected]CT320-detector-row CT accurate for in-stent restenosisCHICAGO - 320-detector-row CT diagnoses in-stent restenosis accurately, even in small stents, researchers from Japan reported in a Sunday session at the RSNA annual meeting.November 30, 2013CTCORE320: CTA-CTP matches SPECT for gauging cardiac diseaseThe accuracy of 320-detector-row coronary CT angiography (CTA) combined with CT perfusion (CTP) is equivalent to that of SPECT myocardial perfusion for diagnosing functionally significant coronary artery disease, according to results of the prospective, multicenter, international CORE320 trial published in the European Heart Journal.November 26, 2013CTHigh-pitch CTPA outperforms standard PE protocolIn patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE), a CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) protocol using high-pitch dual-source electrocardiogram-synchronized helical scanning outperformed standard pulmonary CTA by almost every measure, according to an article in the American Journal of Roentgenology.November 21, 2013CTNoncathartic CTC prep might boost screening complianceThe use of noncathartic bowel preparation before CT colonography (CTC) delivers good sensitivity for clinically significant polyps, and may also increase colorectal cancer screening compliance, according to a report in the American Journal of Roentgenology.November 20, 2013Clinical NewsBreaking bad news: Some docs are more willing than othersIt's no surprise that residents and radiologists don't like breaking bad news to patients with serious medical conditions. But a survey from Pakistan suggests some types of medical specialists are more willing to tell patients the awful truth, while others pass the job along to the referring physician.November 13, 2013CTCoregistration, mapping maximize accuracy of CT air-trapping evaluationFriday, December 6 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SST04-01 | Room E451BCoregistering inspiration and expiration CT datasets and voxel-by-voxel mapping of Hounsfield unit values boost the accuracy of air-trapping assessment, according to researchers in Germany.November 12, 2013CTHot topic session covers 'killer apps' for spectral CTThursday, December 5 | 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SPSH56 | Room S403BSpectral CT is emerging as a powerful way to get more image from less dose -- with some added tricks that other CT techniques simply can't provide. This special session is dedicated to spectral imaging's growing list of uses.November 12, 2013CTIterative reconstruction boosts lung nodule volumetry, tooThursday, December 5 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSQ04-07 | Room S405ABWhat are the low-dose limits? Researchers from Kobe University in Japan wanted to know how low they could go in phantom studies of lung nodules using advanced iterative reconstruction.November 12, 2013CTFFR-CT after cardiac CT found accurate across demographic spectrumThursday, December 5 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSQ03-07 | Room S504ABThis scientific session will discuss a study in which fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) yielded similar discrimination and accuracy to invasive FFR for diagnosing lesion-specific ischemia across a variety of patients.November 12, 2013CTAdvanced iterative reconstruction enables ultralow-dose chest CTThursday, December 5 | 11:20 a.m.-11: 30 a.m. | SSQ04-06 | Room S405ABLow-dose images reconstructed using advanced iterative reconstruction beat standard-dose chest CT images using a first-generation iterative reconstruction scheme, according to this study by German radiologists.November 12, 2013Previous PagePage 58 of 258Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputationsLower limb amputation is an increasingly common major complication of advanced peripheral arterial disease and diabetes mellitus.MRI3D MRI technique helps plan treatment for pediatric heart conditionsWomens ImagingCould AI scoring help with managing DCIS?CTClinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion typePractice ManagementRadiology coding update for 2026
