Breast radiotherapy studies propose shorter treatment, confirm lack of cardiac risk
By Shalmali Pal

Renal artery size varies widely; stent filters don't fit
By Eric Barnes
A review of abdominal multidetector-row CT (MDCT) angiograms found significant size differences between left and right renal arteries, between men and women, and between patients. These differences have serious implications for the increasingly common use of distal filtering devices to prevent distal atheroembolization after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA). The devices are designed for carotid and coronary arteries, and more often than not don't fit, according to the study authors.

3D surface-rendered facial images a poor substitute for digital photos
By Erik L. Ridley
PROVIDENCE, RI - Creating detailed pictures of the face from 3D surface-reconstructed images could be construed as a patient privacy issue under the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
