Eric Barnes[email protected]CTMilitary radiologists report on experiences in AfghanistanSunday, November 27 | 2:00 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | RC124 | Room N229Navy physicians Dr. Ron Boucher and Dr. Steve Ferrara recently returned from deployment to the Kandahar Air Base in southern Afghanistan armed with gripping stories and images of wartime radiology. The presentation will show the efforts of U.S. and coalition medical teams operating in the country as they care for coalition forces, as well as Afghan military personnel and many civilians.November 9, 2011CTHR-pQCT helpful in osteogenesis imperfecta patients at risk of severe fractureSunday, November 27 | 11:45 a.m.-11:55 a.m. | SSA14-07 | Room E451BHigh-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) is compared to dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta in this presentation by Austrian researchers. They found that CT does a better job than conventional DEXA bone mineral density scans of characterizing bone structure and the risk of fracture.November 9, 2011CTCT perfusion inadequate to detect basilar artery occlusionSunday, November 27 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | SSA16-05 | Room N226CT perfusion imaging of the brain is often used in acute stroke centers to aid in diagnosing and characterizing acute stroke. But it doesn't work as well in the brainstem: A new study has found that CT perfusion alone is inadequate to detect basilar artery occlusion.November 9, 2011CTAutomated kV cuts abdomen dose the easy waySunday, November 27 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA08-03 | Room E450BA study from Massachusetts General Hospital has shown that automated kV selection is feasible, providing the benefits of lower kV imaging without complicated protocols.November 9, 2011CTSingle-pass triphasic body technique improves multitrauma scanningSunday, November 27 | 10:45 a.m.-10:55 a.m. | SSA05-01 | Room N227A triphasic, single-pass, whole-body scanning protocol is better than the conventional method of scanning multitrauma patients, researchers from Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, Israel, will report at the RSNA 2011 meeting.November 9, 2011CTCCTA outpaces calcium scoring in acute chest painSunday, November 27 | 10:45 a.m.-10: 55 a.m. | SSA02-01 | Room S502ABThere is little value in coronary artery calcium scoring by itself in patients presenting with acute chest pain. In a head-to-head comparison, it's clear that only coronary CTA (CCTA) can replace angiography in diagnosing these patients, according to researchers from Italy.November 9, 2011CTMature CT angiography looks to new frontiersSunday, November 27 | 8:30 a.m.-10:15 a.m. | PS10 | Arie Crown TheaterAs part of the RSNA president's address and opening panel on Sunday morning, Dr. Geoffrey Rubin will look at the history of CT angiography (CTA) as a prologue to its future. CTA has more work to do and more frontiers to explore, according to Rubin, who is chairman of radiology at Duke University.November 9, 2011Nuclear MedicinePhysicians with financial ties order more cardiac stress testsPhysicians who stand to gain financially from nuclear stress tests or stress echo exams ordered more of the imaging studies for their patients as a follow-up to cardiac interventional procedures, concludes a new study published November 9 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.November 8, 2011CTAcceptance grows for VC among patients, referring physiciansA large survey of patients who underwent virtual colonoscopy at three U.S. centers found high acceptance of the noninvasive exam, as well as a reluctance to undergo conventional colonoscopy, according to results presented at the 2011 International Symposium on Virtual Colonoscopy.November 6, 2011CTAuntMinnie.com Virtual Colonoscopy InsiderNovember 2, 2011Previous PagePage 96 of 258Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingPET links brain receptor to emotional numbing in PTSDTo date, only a single study has investigated CB1R availability in humans exposed to trauma.Womens ImagingCEM, DBT show promise for preoperative breast cancer stagingMRIMRI illumines how the brain maintains 'representation' of phantom limbsDigital X-Ray3D DEXA reveals lower bone density in diabetes patientsMRIGadolinium in ... beer?
