High accuracy but inhomogeneous tagging seen in prepless VC
By Eric Barnes
Belgian researchers are clearly catching up to the Italians in the art of prepless virtual colonoscopy, a technique that enhances patient comfort but adds work to the radiologist's day.

Abdominopelvic PET profits from forced diuresis
By Jonathan S. Batchelor
PET studies of the abdomen and pelvis have the potential for identifying and staging a variety of malignancies. But trying to image this area with F-18 FDG, the only radiopharmaceutical reimbursed in the U.S. for noncardiac PET, is compromised by its accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tracer activity. Researchers from Switzerland have recently developed a procedure to overcome this limitation -- forced diuresis with parenteral hydration.
