New research found that the late arterial phase, which accounts for approximately 40 percent of CT radiation dosing in cases involving acute abdominal pain, offered no exclusive findings that had an impact on clinical care.

New research suggests CCTA may provide salient preoperative insights into planning for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) while facilitating similar outcomes as intravascular ultrasound guidance for target-vessel failure.

Perspective and experience enable us to discern a reasonable explanation prior to boarding a rollercoaster of overreaction.

Emerging CT research suggests that the plexus pancreaticus capitalis 2 (PPC2) pathway or a mass with stranding morphology may significantly increase mortality risk in patients with pancreatic cancer and extra-pancreatic nerve plexus invasion (EPNI).

In the second of a two-part podcast episode, Kalpana Kanal, PhD, and Mahadevappa Mahesh, PhD, discussed the possible impact of new research showing significant declines in CT radiation dosing over the past decade, future research directions and the potential for indication-based diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in the future.

Emerging research suggests that the benefits of photon-counting CT may be more pronounced in patients with obesity.

In the first of a two-part podcast episode, Kalpana Kanal, PhD, and Mahadevappa Mahesh, PhD, reviewed key findings from a study examining CT radiation dosing over the past decade and shared insights from their experience for ensuring optimal radiation dosing for CT scans.
