3D CTA reveals neonate cardiac anomalies when echo results uncertain

SAN FRANCISCO - In high-risk infants with congenital heart disease, echocardiography is the imaging gold standard. But when echocardiographic results are inconclusive, clinicians should consider CT angiography (CTA) before moving on to more invasive procedures, according to a presentation at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) meeting.

Mock trial brings reality infotainment to RSNA

For most physicians, just sitting in on a real-life malpractice trial would be worthy of an episode of "Fear Factor." A mock trial of a malpractice case, on the other hand, could be more exciting than bungee jumping off McCormick Place, and far more educational. For the first time, the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) will put on a medical-legal jury trial at the 2004 meeting, complete with a judge, lawyers, expert witnesses, and a regular-Joe jury.
