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)

Long-Term Results of Angioplasty and Stent Placement for Treatment of Central Venous Obstruction in 126 Hemodialysis Patients: A 10-Year Single-Center ExperienceEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
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. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)

CONCLUSION. Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent

Comparison of Ultrasound and CT in the Evaluation of Pneumonia Complicated by Parapneumonic Effusion in ChildrenEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
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. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)

Reperfusion Phenomenon Masking Acute and Subacute Infarcts at Dynamic Perfusion CT: Confirmation by Fusion of CT and Diffusion-Weighted MR ImagesEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION. Visual inspection of cerebral blood volume and cerebral
blood flow maps alone is insufficient in the evaluation of infarcts. Mean
transit time, time to peak, and delay maps also should be reviewed with
dynamic source images to prevent misinterpretation of findings as
false-negative. This phenomenon is unlikely to occur hyperacutely (< 8
hours after onset). (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)

CONCLUSION. Reducing contrast material volume from 125 to 75 mL,

Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION. Linear polyp measurement in the 3D endoluminal view
appears to be the most reliable parameter for use in the decision to excise a
polyp according to current guidelines. In our study, manual calculation of
volume with summation of areas was found to be the most reliable measurement
parameter for observing polyp growth over serial examinations. High
reliability of polyp measurements is essential for adequate assessment of
change in polyp size over serial examinations because many patients with
intermediate-size polyps are expected to choose surveillance. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)

CONCLUSION. The analysis of our initial experience shows that
imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation is possible using 320-MDCT, with

subsequently, those results were proven to be false-negatives by reverse

Posterior Periosteal Disruption in Salter-Harris Type II Fractures of the Distal Femur: Evidence for a Hyperextension MechanismEmail this article to a colleague.

CONCLUSION. We found that all children in our experience with occult
or subtle SH type II fractures of the distal femur have posterior periosteal
disruption and other MRI findings to indicate a hyperextension mechanism of
injury. Direct indicators of fracture may be inconspicuous, and the presence
of posterior periosteal disruption is a clue that should prompt a search for
other features of this serious pediatric injury, which may be followed by limb
shortening or angular deformity. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)

The Metabolic Spectrum of Venous Thrombotic Disorders Found on PET/CTEmail this article to a colleague.

CONCLUSION. The division of thrombotic disorders into metabolically
nonactive and active thrombus may be helpful for differential diagnosis of
underlying diseases causing thrombus formation. IV contrast media
administration during PET/CT makes it possible to visualize the thrombus
itself and helps to distinguish between benign and malignant metabolically
active thrombus. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)

Spectrum of 18F-FDG PET/CT Appearances in Peritoneal DiseaseEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION. Malignant and benign diseases may have peritoneal
involvement, which can manifest as various imaging patterns on FDG PET/CT.
Awareness of these patterns and of potential interpretation issues is
important to optimize diagnostic accuracy. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)

Bidimensional Measurements in Brain Tumors: Assessment of Interobserver VariabilityEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION. Our hypothesis was disproved. We found substantial
interreader disagreement and indications that the very nature of the
measurement method produces a high rate of false-positive readings of stable
tumors. These findings should be considered in interpretation of images with
this widely accepted criterion for brain tumor progression. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)
