Ultralow-dose CT lung scan shows high accuracy at chest film dose
By
Eric Barnes
European researchers have been known to take low-dose CT exams to new levels of low, but a new study from Germany tests even continental norms. When researchers at Berlin's Charité Hospital cranked their thoracic CT exam down to the level of a two-view chest x-ray, they found the technique performed nearly as well as a standard CT exam in detecting pulmonary nodules.

Swiss rads warm up to MR arthrography for frozen shoulder
By
Shalmali Pal
While the symptoms of frozen shoulder can be painfully obvious, the radiological appearance of the condition is generally normal. MR arthrography may be the key to assessing cases of suspected frozen shoulder, according to researchers from Switzerland.

Bone marrow fat is not all that for assessing skeletal changes
By
Shalmali Pal
Bone marrow fat is a characteristic of bone quality that, independent of bone mineral density (BMD), contributes to skeletal strength. But is bone marrow fat directly connected to bone mineral density? A group from Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC, set out to answer this question using 1H MR spectroscopy and bone densitometry (DEXA).

PET/CT hardware hybrid tops PET, software fusion for NSCLC staging
By
Jonathan S. Batchelor
Hardware-integrated PET/CT provides greater staging accuracy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) than either standalone PET imaging or software fusion of PET and CT images from nonintegrated modalities, according to research presented at the RSNA meeting in Chicago last week.

MDCT evaluates vasculopathy in transplanted hearts
By
Tracie L. Thompson
Vasculopathy is the most frequent long-term cause of death in heart-transplant recipients, yet evaluating patients with invasive imaging like coronary angiography also carries significant risks. Fortunately, it appears that MDCT can now play a role.

MRI may determine which stroke-infarcted brain tissue is salvageable
By
Eric Barnes
CHICAGO - In acute stroke patients, the decision to give thrombolytic therapy is a crudely calculated risk: Will tPA salvage infarcted but still-living tissue -- or merely heighten the patient's risk of bleeding? Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston are hoping to demystify this leap of faith based on a technique that helps gauge the status of the individual infarct when therapy is being considered.
