HR-pQCT helpful in osteogenesis imperfecta patients at risk of severe fracture
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 27 | 11:45 a.m.-11:55 a.m. | SSA14-07 | Room E451BHigh-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) is compared to dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta in this presentation by Austrian researchers. They found that CT does a better job than conventional DEXA bone mineral density scans of characterizing bone structure and the risk of fracture.

CT perfusion inadequate to detect basilar artery occlusion
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 27 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | SSA16-05 | Room N226CT perfusion imaging of the brain is often used in acute stroke centers to aid in diagnosing and characterizing acute stroke. But it doesn't work as well in the brainstem: A new study has found that CT perfusion alone is inadequate to detect basilar artery occlusion.

Single-pass triphasic body technique improves multitrauma scanning
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 27 | 10:45 a.m.-10:55 a.m. | SSA05-01 | Room N227A triphasic, single-pass, whole-body scanning protocol is better than the conventional method of scanning multitrauma patients, researchers from Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, Israel, will report at the RSNA 2011 meeting.

CCTA outpaces calcium scoring in acute chest pain
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 27 | 10:45 a.m.-10: 55 a.m. | SSA02-01 | Room S502ABThere is little value in coronary artery calcium scoring by itself in patients presenting with acute chest pain. In a head-to-head comparison, it's clear that only coronary CTA (CCTA) can replace angiography in diagnosing these patients, according to researchers from Italy.
