Study compares 2nd, 3rd generations of iterative reconstruction
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, December 2 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSG04-03 | Room E350Liver lesions are always a challenge to visualize with CT, and iterative reconstruction improves conspicuity in the liver and other regions. How does the latest algorithm stack up against an earlier iteration?

How often do pancreatic cysts become ductal adenocarcinomas?
By Eric Barnes
Monday, December 1 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSC04-09 | Room E353AThis study evaluated the relationship between pancreatic cysts and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), comparing imaging features of the cysts in subjects who subsequently developed PDAC versus those who did not.

Monoenergetic reconstruction tool boosts pancreatic tumor conspicuity
By Eric Barnes
Monday, December 1 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSC04-01 | Room E353AIn pancreatic cancer imaging, conventional methods produce only very faint enhancement differences. Researchers from Germany are finding pancreatic lesions much easier to see using a monoenergetic reconstruction algorithm plus dual-source CT.

Single- vs. dual-energy abdominal CT: Which has the lowest dose?
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 30 | 11:45 a.m.-11:55 a.m. | SSA06-07 | Room E353ATriple-phase liver exams are a good way to evaluate CT dose. But which generates the lowest doses: single- or dual-source scanning? This study compared dose levels in 45 patients who had undergone the exam on different occasions with different scanners.

Survey: Patients unfazed by false positives on CTC exams
By Eric Barnes
In a new survey, patients said they believe the benefits of having a malignancy detected on colon screening exams more than outweigh the drawbacks of a false positive, even if it would lead to unnecessary imaging or invasive follow-up, according to an article published in the October issue of Radiology.
