Virtual colonoscopy advocates press on for reimbursement
CAMBRIDGE, MA - Virtual colonoscopy screening advocates were upbeat about their quest for reimbursement of the exam at this week's 2011 International Symposium on Virtual Colonoscopy. Which is not to say that getting doctors paid to perform virtual colonoscopy has been an easy struggle, or a particularly quick one.

Low-kV DECT finds more pathology with less radiation, contrast
Low-kV dual-energy CT (DECT) of the abdomen is gaining currency as a CT technique that can reveal pathology hidden on traditional imaging techniques, using less radiation and less contrast media. It can also be performed using a variety of methods, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

VC shows mostly advantages in postcolostomy surveillance
Virtual colonoscopy is technically feasible and less invasive than conventional colonoscopy for surveillance after sigmoid colostomy, according to a study in the October American Journal of Roentgenology. But better techniques are needed before it can be used routinely, the researchers said.

'Rapid prototyping' puts CT images in doctors' hands
These days, multidetector-row CT is producing vast quantities of 3D and 4D data for diagnostic and interventional use. But for all its multidimensionality, most of the output is still served up on a flat screen. That could be changing with a process called "rapid prototyping" that creates physical models from imaging data.

320-row scanner cuts contrast dose in coronary CTA
Contrast media dose can be reduced in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans acquired with a 320-detector-row scanner without significantly affecting image quality, according to a study in the October edition of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

JACC: CT calcium screening cost-effective only in men
CT-based coronary artery calcium screening in individuals at intermediate risk of heart disease is probably cost-effective for men but not women, according to a new analysis in the October 11 edition of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

CT radiation may pose lower cancer risk for sicker patients
Patients with shorter life expectancies are at far less risk relative to those with a good prognosis when it comes to radiation dangers from medical imaging, conclude researchers in a new study in Radiology. The results may bring some relief to radiologists who feel that radiation risk has been overemphasized at the expense of clinical need.

JAMA: Men may require earlier colorectal cancer screening
A new analysis of colorectal adenomas found that men have significantly more advanced adenomas and colorectal cancers than women at all age groups, prompting the authors of the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association to recommend that men be screened earlier than women.

Right craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (middle) views from preoperative mammography show suspicious grouped fine pleomorphic calcifications (arrows). After biopsy showed ductal carcinoma of situ (DCIS), patient underwent breast-conserving surgery, yielding final diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (intermediate grade, hormone receptor positive). (Right) Screenshot of an output of a commercial AI tool applied to preoperative mammography. AI detected right breast lesion with score of 95% on both views (concentric colored circles). Present study’s reviewing radiologist deemed AI marking to correspond with site of DCIS.

Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan in a 28-year-old premenopausal woman shows an incidentally detected solid-appearing left ovarian lesion (solid arrow) anterior to the uterus (U), associated with trace ascites in the right adnexa and cul de sac (dashed arrows). At pathologic analysis, this was shown to be ovarian dysgerminoma. Two readers misdiagnosed this lesion, one as a leiomyoma and one as an ovarian fibroma.
