Fusion imaging of contrast ultrasound localizes kidney lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 29 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | SSA09-05 | Room E351Fusion imaging of contrast-enhanced ultrasound can help clarify ambiguous renal CT or MR findings without exposing patients to further radiation, according to research to be presented on Sunday.

Can lung nodule scoring systems do better?
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 29 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA04-03 | Room S404CDThe rise of CT lung cancer screening has been accompanied by a few published lung nodule scoring systems, including Lung-RADS and the McWilliams model. But could the models be tweaked to perform better?

CT lung cancer screening evolves at major academic centers
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 30 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | RC201-11 | Room S406BMajor changes have come to CT lung cancer screening in the past two years, and the results of a survey of major academic centers highlights both modest increases in screening volumes and a move away from self-pay screening.

Tin filters and lung nodule CT at x-ray exposure levels: Accurate?
By Eric Barnes
Thursday, December 3 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSQ19-05 | Room S403BHow well does CT equipped with a tin filter measure lung nodule volumes at radiation dose levels similar to those of a chest x-ray? Pretty well, most of the time, Mayo Clinic researchers will report in this Thursday presentation.

Noncontrast head CT takes on small hyperdensities
By Eric Barnes
Wednesday, December 2 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSM07-06 | Room S403BIn the emergency room, noncontrast head CT scans often reveal hyperdensities that could represent small parenchymal hemorrhages or calcifications. Much of the time, but not always, the two can be differentiated by morphology and location. But is the standard practice of waiting six hours to repeat the head CT scan to assess stability the best way to solve the remaining mysteries?

Monoenergetic images vs. calcium blooming in CCTA
By Eric Barnes
Wednesday, December 2 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSK04-09 | Room S504ABCalcium blooming in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images makes calcium appear larger than its actual size, exaggerating the extent of luminal stenosis and producing false-positive tests, which can lead to inappropriate clinical management, according to this study to be presented on Wednesday.

For ischemic stroke, CT perfusion boosts detection in posterior circulation
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSJ18-02 | Room N226There is still no consensus about the best way to image the posterior circulation in the setting of ischemic stroke, but researchers in Münster, Germany, have found significant value in CT perfusion.

Radiology's future combines tech innovation and productivity tools
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, December 1 | 1:30 p.m.-2:45 p.m. | PS30C | Arie Crown TheaterWhat does the future hold for radiology? Get ready for a cascade of sometimes conflicting trends -- all leading toward a more complex and better diagnosed future, according to a Tuesday plenary talk by radiology luminary Dr. James Thrall.

DECT technique separates benign from malignant lung nodules
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSG03-09 | Room S404CDWhile CT is good at detecting lung nodules, PET/CT is better at determining whether they are malignant or benign. Researchers from Kobe, Japan, wanted to see if their CT technique, known as dual-point contrast-enhanced dual-energy CT (DECT), could rival PET/CT for predicting malignancy.

Phase-contrast CT technique reveals hidden image information
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSG14-08 | Room S403BNew developments in phase-contrast CT imaging have some investigators intrigued about the potential of x-ray-based techniques to reveal previously unseen information. Researchers from Emory University will share their thoughts in this Tuesday session.
