CT colonography dose varies little over years
The effective doses associated with virtual colonoscopy have remained constant despite the increased use of multislice scanners, primarily due to the use of lower dose protocols, according to a study presented at the 2004 RSNA meeting.
The effective doses associated with virtual colonoscopy have remained constant despite the increased use of multislice scanners, primarily due to the use of lower dose protocols, according to a study presented at the 2004 RSNA meeting.
Dr. Sebastiaan Jensch and colleagues from the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam searched the literature for CT colonography accuracy studies and asked the institutions involved in those studies to provide their current scan protocols.
Both past and current protocols had a median effective dose of 4.2 mSv. The literature search revealed a median mAs of 88, while the current mAs value was 70. In past years, two-thirds of the scans were performed on a single-slice scanner. Today, nearly 90% are performed on multislice scanners.
New Study Assesses Benefits of High-Resolution Photon-Counting for Computed Tomography Angiography
October 10th 2024Researchers found that ultra-high resolution photon-counting significantly enhanced visualization of small vessels and facilitated improved reduction of blooming artifacts for head and neck computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans.
Multicenter Study Identifies Key Factors Associated with Mammogram-Occult Ipsilateral Breast Cancer
October 9th 2024A symptomatic first breast cancer diagnosis, prevailing breast density at a second breast cancer diagnosis and trabecular thickening on surveillance mammography were linked to mammogram-occult ipsilateral breast cancer, according to new research.
