Prehydration not needed before contrast CT of kidneys
February 18, 2020 -- Prehydrating patients who have chronic kidney disease before they undergo a contrast-enhanced CT exam has been the standard of care for years. But new research suggests that the practice results in unnecessary costs with few patient benefits. The findings were published online on February 17 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Discuss Amyloid PET results prompt adults to rethink their future
February 18, 2020 -- When PET scans reveal elevated amyloid levels in cognitively normal older adults, the prospect of possibly progressing to Alzheimer's disease prompts many of them to reconsider their future priorities.

Discuss Can ultrasound, 3D printing deepen maternal-fetal bonds?
February 18, 2020 -- When a pregnant woman sees her fetus on imaging scans, it can help strengthen the bond she feels with her unborn child, say researchers. They demonstrate how 3D-printed models based on ultrasound scans confirmed this concept in a study published online on February 8 in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing.

Discuss Which ultrasound method is best for DVT? All of them
February 17, 2020 -- Three different compression ultrasound methods all performed well for imaging deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in a study published online on February 11 by PLOS One. The failure rates for single limited, serial limited, and whole-leg ultrasound ranged from 1% to 2%.
