256-slice CT brings new possibilities in head imaging

By Eric Barnes

Researchers in Japan and the U.S. are producing promising new head CT images on a work-in-progress 256-slice scanner. A major advantage of so-called area detector scanning is the ability to acquire morphologic and functional images in a single scan, yielding a clutch of new diagnostic possibilities and time-saving exam protocols.

Presurgical fMRI for tumor resection: Are we there yet?

By Shalmali Pal

BERLIN - In theory, functional MRI offers the ultimate noninvasive, presurgical management tool for brain tumor resection. In practice, fMRI techniques have a way to go before they can be as accurate as intraoperative cortical stimulation (ICS), according to Dr. Stefan Sunaert, Ph.D., from the University Hospital of the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium. Sunaert discussed some of the strengths and weaknesses of fMRI for brain tumor mapping in a talk Sunday at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting.

DOTA-NOC PET/CT raises the bar in neuroendocrine imaging

By Jonathan S. Batchelor

Receptors for the naturally occurring neuropeptide somatostatin have been shown to have a high concentration on neuroendocrine tumors. Indium-111-labeled octreotide has long been the preferred agent for imaging somatostatin receptors on neuroendocrine tumors in vivo. But a recent study by German researchers indicates that there may be a new radiotracer of choice for neuroendocrine carcinoma imaging, Ga-68 DOTA-NOC.

Small stroke centers ill-equipped for range of presentations

By Eric Barnes

You'll need more than CT and MRI scanners to run a decent stroke center, according to a stroke practice expert from Germany. You'll need staff with expertise in diagnosing and treating the full range of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke presentations, and enough skilled interventionalists to care for patients who show up at midnight on a holiday.

MRI, CT remain front and center in head trauma imaging

By Wayne Forrest

It is estimated that more than 300,000 sports-related concussions occur each year in the U.S., but many concussions are not reported. It often takes an athlete becoming disoriented or losing consciousness before he or she is taken to an emergency room. MRI and CT serve as complementary modalities in head trauma cases such as these.
