Protocol tweaks reduce radiation dose for pediatric DSA
By Brian Casey
In a session on Sunday at the Society of Interventional Radiology conference in Atlanta, researchers from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center will demonstrate protocols they developed that dramatically cut radiation dose for pediatric digital subtraction angiography (DSA) procedures.

Vertebral CAD aces detection of compression fractures
By Eric Barnes
A new computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme can robustly detect vertebral compression fractures on spine CT images. The algorithm was developed by a team led by Dr. Ronald Summers, PhD, from the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Ultrasound + lab tests can reliably spot pediatric appendicitis
By Erik L. Ridley
Combining blood tests with sonography findings significantly outperformed ultrasound alone for diagnosing or ruling out pediatric appendicitis, and the combination could also reduce the number of CT scans in children, according to research published online in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.

fMRI shows different brain activity in curious preteens
By Wayne Forrest
Understanding the daily actions of preteens is a daunting task in general, but researchers from the University of California, San Francisco have had early success in using functional MRI (fMRI) to investigate why some might explore more than others.

Applying CAD twice to DBT improves performance at lower dose
By Eric Barnes
Researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new double-barreled approach to computer-aided detection (CAD) that uses two separate CAD algorithms on digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) exams. They believe the technique enables a high level of sensitivity with lower radiation dose.

Multiple FDG-PET/CT scans can influence lung cancer treatment
By Wayne Forrest
By showing how four or more follow-up FDG-PET/CT scans for lung cancer can alter patient treatment plans, researchers at Johns Hopkins University are making the case for expanded Medicare reimbursement for these exams in a new article in the February edition of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

CT scanner in the ED cuts patient waiting times
By Eric Barnes
Substantial time can be saved by siting CT scanners in the emergency department (ED) rather than transporting patients to the radiology department hundreds of meters away, according to a new study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Results of European CT screening trial can be widely applied
By Eric Barnes
Individuals scanned with CT in the Nederlands-Leuvens Longkanker Screenings Onderzoek (NELSON) lung cancer screening trial had a similar risk of cancer as people who did not participate in the study, meaning the research can be generalized to a wider population.
