Perfusion brain CT performed at normal head CT doses
By Eric Barnes
Friday, December 3 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SST14-05 | Room S403BIn brain perfusion CT, multiple time-resolved images are needed to track the flow of contrast through the brain, leading to higher radiation doses in the range of 300-500 mGy. But researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, can do it with less radiation -- down to 75 mGy -- using a gradient adaptive bilateral filter noise reduction algorithm.

High image quality seen in high-pitch cardiac DSCT
By Eric Barnes
Friday, December 3 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SST03-01 | Room S502ABHigh-pitch cardiac CT is becoming an important new method of scanning the thorax quickly and at very low doses. A group from Medical University of Vienna tried it on a 128-slice dual-source CT (DSCT) scanner and came up with excellent results versus other scanning methods.

Dynamic myocardial stress CT perfusion appears feasible and accurate
By Eric Barnes
Wednesday, December 1 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSK03-01 | Room S503ABCardiac MRI could potentially face some competition from adenosine-stress first-pass myocardial CT perfusion, according to an initial study from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. The study won an RSNA trainee research prize for Markus Weininger, MD, who will discuss his group's initial experience with the dual-source CT technique.

Quantitative CT evaluates emphysema, air trapping
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 30 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m.| SSG03-02 | Room S504ABIf individualized medicine is the new mantra, emphysema evaluation is one of its most promising potential applications. Radiologists from National Jewish Health in Denver compared quantitative CT measurements of emphysema to physiologic measures of disease severity.

320-detector-row perfusion CT nabs malignant lung nodules
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 30 | 9:15 a.m.-9:25 a.m. | VC31-04 | Room S404CDDistinguishing malignant from benign lung nodules using PET is tricky business, notably because not all lung cancers are glucose-avid. But in this Tuesday morning presentation, researchers from Kobe, Japan, will discuss how they found that perfusion CT on a 32-detector-row scanner and MRI both perform better than PET/CT for distinguishing malignant from benign nodules.
