Image IQ: History of Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease

The use of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) was associated with more than double the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with diabetes and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 in comparison to the use of non-contrast CT in this population.

Drs. Charles Liu and Jonathan Russin discuss the benefits and potential of fPACT, the alternative to functional MRI.

Whether it’s attempting to get appropriate clinical histories from referring physicians or getting a tech to split up a multiphasic contrast study into separate image series, consistently striving to fight the good fight for optimal image interpretation is worth the effort.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Shalom Kalnicki, from Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, discusses the disparities minority patients face with cancer screenings and what can be done to increase access during the pandemic.

Precision DL, a deep learning-based software which will be available on GE HealthCare’s Omni Legend PET/CT device, reportedly increases the detectability of small, low-contrast lesions by 42 percent.
