CT colonography tops colonoscopy for mapping colon cancer segmentationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CT colonography can pinpoint cancerous colorectal segments more accurately than colonoscopy, according to Italian investigators. They say virtual, not optical, colonoscopy should be the gold standard for the preoperative staging of colorectal cancer. (Source: Diagnostic Imaging)

Radiation Dose of Interventional Radiology System Using a Flat-Panel DetectorEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION. We found that the average entrance doses of cineangiography and fluoroscopy in FPD systems were not significantly different from those in II systems. Hence, FPDs did not inherently reduce the radiation dose, although FPDs possess good detective quantum efficiency. Therefore, to reduce the radiation dose of cardiac interventional radiology systems, even FPD systems, practical measures are necessary. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)

CONCLUSION. Endovascular treatment of central venous obstruction is a safe and effective procedure in hemodialysis patients. Stenting has a significantly lower primary patency rate than angioplasty but adds to the longevity of vein patency in angioplasty-resistant lesions; therefore, stent placement should be considered in angioplasty-resistant lesions.

CONCLUSION. In our series, chest ultrasound and chest CT were similar in their ability to detect loculated effusion and lung necrosis or abscess resulting from complicated pneumonia. Chest CT did not provide any additional clinically useful information that was not also seen on chest ultrasound. We suggest that the imaging workup of complicated pediatric pneumonia include chest radiography and chest ultrasound, reserving chest CT for cases in which the chest ultrasound is technically limited or discrepant with the clinical findings.

CONCLUSION. Visual inspection of cerebral blood volume and cerebral blood flow maps alone is insufficient in the evaluation of infarcts.

Duodenal Switch Gastric Bypass Surgery for Morbid Obesity: Imaging of Postsurgical Anatomy and Postoperative Gastrointestinal ComplicationsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION. The most common complications of duodenal switch surgery were bowel obstruction, followed by ventral hernias and anastomotic leaks. Only 2% of cases required repeat surgery for management. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)

Contrast Material Administration Protocols for 64-MDCT Angiography: Altering Volume and Rate and Use of a Saline Chaser to Better Match the Imaging Window--Physiologic Phantom StudyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION. Reducing contrast material volume from 125 to 75 mL, increasing the rate to 6 or 8 mL/s, and use of a saline chaser result in an aortic enhancement profile that better matches the approximately 5-second imaging window possible with 64-MDCTA of the abdomen and pelvis. Even smaller volumes of contrast material may be adequate in patients with reduced cardiac output. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)
