Automated tool speeds clot burden assessment in PE patients
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA04-06 | Room S404CDGauging the clot burden in pulmonary embolism (PE) patients at CT pulmonary angiography is important for management and treatment. For most but not all patients, assessment can be performed faster using an automated clot burden assessment tool, researchers will report in this Sunday session.

CT unnecessary in most blunt trauma admissions
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA05-03 | Room N227Blunt trauma patients admitted to emergency departments are routinely scanned with CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. But are all those scans really necessary in the absence of serious signs of injury? No, say Noam Millo, MD, and colleagues from the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

Individualized contrast injection keeps up with triple-rule-out CT
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 10:55 a.m.-11:05 a.m. | SSA04-02 | Room S404CDOutrunning the contrast bolus can be a real problem with state-of-the art CT equipment that scans the thorax in less than a second. But J. Michael Barraza and colleagues from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston found excellent results with a contrast injector equipped with an individualized patient-based contrast media injection algorithm.

Targeted ultrasound best for biopsy after incidental breast MRI findings
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 1 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSM02-02 | Room E450ABreast MRI can find additional lesions when used as an adjunct to mammography and ultrasound, but it's also associated with a higher false-positive rate, according to Italian researchers. Using targeted ultrasound with these incidental MRI lesions offers a way to reduce false positives.
