AIUM addresses risks and rewards of compact ultrasound
PHOENIX - When every clinician can carry his or her own ultrasound unit, what will happen to the practice of imaging's notoriously operator-dependent modality? Leaders of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine are taking steps to establish quality standards before clinicians have "sonoscopes" slung around their necks like stethoscopes.

Hippocampal volume on MRI indicates time to Alzheimer's disease
When patients are diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, it remains unclear if or when they might progress to Alzheimer's disease. But a new study presented Thursday at the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) meeting suggests the transition is inevitable, and that hippocampal volume on MRI roughly predicts how soon it will happen.

MRS predicts severity of brain injury in abused infants
After a shaken baby recovers from the immediate trauma that prompted medical intervention, it may be difficult to distinguish those who suffered more significant and long-lasting brain injury. Presenters at the American Society of Neuroradiology meeting in Seattle said an MR spectroscopy (MRS) exam in the acute phase may actually distinguish those children quite accurately.

Authors offer remedies for artifacts on MDCT coronary angio
Multidetector CT offers many advantages over single-slice scanning, especially in noninvasive CT angiography. But artifacts can still mar MDCT images of the coronary arteries, especially if your scanner has only four detector rows.
