3D MSCT colonography overcomes diverticulosis
Colonic diverticular disease won't spoil CT colonography as long as radiologists apply a 3D imaging approach, according to a study by University of Wisconsin researchers.
Colonic diverticular disease won't spoil CT colonography as long as radiologists apply a 3D imaging approach, according to a study by University of Wisconsin researchers.
Colonic segments with significant diverticulosis make standard 2D imaging particularly challenging, said Dr. Perry J. Pickhardt, an associate professor of radiology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
Pickhardt and colleagues enrolled 280 asymptomatic adults at average risk for colon cancer who underwent primary 3D CTC with 2D correlation followed by same-day standard colonoscopy. Although they found a very high prevalence of major diverticular disease in this population, it did not degrade 3D CTC's diagnostic performance. They also found the prevalence of polyps 6 mm and greater was higher in segments with considerable diverticular disease.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
The Reading Room: Racial and Ethnic Minorities, Cancer Screenings, and COVID-19
November 3rd 2020In 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.
Study Shows Merits of CTA-Derived Quantitative Flow Ratio in Predicting MACE
December 11th 2024For patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), researchers found that those with a normal CTA-derived quantitative flow ratio (CT-QFR) had a 22 percent higher MACE-free survival rate.
