Knee perfusion is key in limb salvage after trauma
By Eric Barnes
Wednesday, December 3 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSM25-06 | Room E450BTrauma patients are typically assessed for salvageability of lower limbs based on a clinical exam and perfusion assessment of the distal arteries. But a group from Texas found that flow in the geniculate artery on CT angiography studies is crucial in determining whether such patients will eventually need an amputation.

Increasing difference in x-ray spectra boosts image quality
By Eric Barnes
Monday, December 1 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSC12-03 | Room S403BThis study from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, showed that increasing the difference in the x-ray spectra in dual-energy CT increases image quality, and that this improvement can be translated into reductions in dose.

Organ-dose software results are highly variable
By Eric Barnes
Monday, December 1 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSC12-01 | Room S403BConcerns over radiation dose in CT have led to the development of dose tracking software that estimates organ doses, replacing tedious manual processes. How well do they work? Dr. Atul Padole and colleagues evaluated two software packages.
