GE launches low-dose LightSpeed VCT

Computed tomography colonography (CTC) demonstrated a 91.6 percent positive predictive value (PPV) for polyps > 6 mm, according to new research involving over 9,000 patients who underwent CTC for primary asymptomatic colorectal cancer screening.

In the third of a three-part podcast episode, Emanuel Kanal, M.D. and Tobias Gilk, MRSO, MRSE, discuss strategies for maintaining the integrity of time-out procedures and communication with remote MRI scanning.

Developed by 21 thoracic radiologists, the new international consensus statement addresses appropriate indications, scan acquisition and keys to reporting for the use of chest CT imaging in evaluating for residual lung abnormalities from COVID-19.

In the second of a multi-part podcast episode, Emanuel Kanal, M.D. and Tobias Gilk, MRSO, MRSE, share their perspectives on remote MRI safety protocols for ensuring screening accuracy and adherence to conditional implant guidelines as well as a rapid and effective response to adverse events.

The dose length product (DLP) for the flash mode on a dual-source photon-counting CT system was less than a third of that for the spiral mode, according to a study of CTA findings for 1,000 patients presented at the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) conference.

For patients who had coronary CTA for acute chest pain, emerging research found no significant association between plaque burden grades with CAD-RADS 2.0 and cardiac events.
