MRA tops CTA for pulmonary embolism evaluation
By Abraham Kim
MR angiography (MRA) may have an edge over CT angiography (CTA) for diagnosing pulmonary embolism due to its reduced risk of radiation and adverse events, according to a pair of articles by Wisconsin researchers published online in Emergency Radiology and the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Risk-based CT lung screening could be more efficient
By Abraham Kim
Performing CT lung cancer screening based on an individual's cancer risk rather than one-size-fits-all guidelines could be a more efficient way to figure out who needs screening, according to a May 14 article in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Four risk models, in particular, seem to stand out from the rest.
