Dual-phase CT protocol drops dose for tracheal exams in kids
Tracheomalacia, a weakness in the tracheal walls and supporting cartilage that can cause expiratory collapse, can be difficult to diagnose. Dual-phase CT provides a fast and accurate means of diagnosing the condition, but its use comes with an important caveat: double the radiation dose.

Role-playing helps rads convey news about fetal abnormalities
BOSTON - Advanced ultrasound and MRI procedures are making it easier for radiologists to identify fetal abnormalities. But telling a pregnant woman the news, often early in a pregnancy, is increasingly becoming the responsibility of pediatric radiologists, who are assuming roles as front-line physicians.

Skeletal PET gains support for pediatric bone scans
BOSTON - Skeletal scintigraphy with F-18 sodium fluoride is a safe and effective way to diagnose skeletal disorders in children and could be used instead of bone SPECT exams, according to research presented on Wednesday at the Society for Pediatric Radiology meeting.

VA saved billions with enterprise HIT investment
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) initiative to implement healthcare IT more than 20 years ago has paid off impressively. By 2007, the agency had saved a cumulative $3.09 billion, and it's currently saving nearly $700 million annually, according to a study published in the April issue of Health Affairs.

One abdominopelvic CT scan may be enough for pediatric trauma
Children often undergo multiple CT exams when admitted with traumatic injuries to hospital emergency departments. But chest CT studies might not be needed for many pediatric trauma patients if an abdominopelvic CT scan is ordered and includes images of the lower chest, according to a study published online in Pediatric Radiology.

Survey fails to find outcomes benefit for electronic records
How effective are electronic health record (EHR) systems in improving the efficiency and quality of healthcare services in U.S. hospitals? Right now, not very -- at least according to a study of nearly 3,000 hospitals that found that EHR systems minimally affected several types of outcomes measures.

CT fails to explain racial variation in child abuse mortality
African-American children with traumatic brain injuries resulting from abuse or nonaccidental trauma are three times more likely to die in hospital emergency departments than Caucasian children, a new study from pediatric radiologists in Ohio indicates.

Simulation can replace sedation for pediatric MRI exams
Having an MRI exam can be a frightening experience for both adults and children. Getting a pediatric patient to remain motionless during the procedure often requires sedation. But when given the chance to have a realistic, simulated MRI procedure in advance, children as young as 4 may voluntarily cooperate.
