CT colonography also detects occult aortic aneurysms
Results of a study by Italian and U.S. investigators suggest CT colonography can simultaneously spot colorectal cancer and abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Results of a study by Italian and U.S. investigators suggest CT colonography can simultaneously spot colorectal cancer and abdominal aortic aneurysms. Findings could help the case for CTC as a cost-effective screening alternative to optical colonoscopy.
Dr. Perry J. Pickhardt, an associate professor of radiology at the University of Wisconsin Medical School in Madison, and colleagues designed a computer model that simulated CRC and AAA development in a hypothetical cohort of 100,000 Medicare patients aged 65 and older. The system compared costs and survival benefits for both screening methods. Among other findings, it showed that at 10-year screening intervals, CTC could yield 7027 life-years and save $1251 per life-year gained. Optical colonoscopy would extend lives by 995 fewer years and would save $147 less per life-year gained (AJR 2009;192[5]:1332-1340).
Seven Takeaways from New CT and MRI Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer Staging
January 20th 2025In an update of previous guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology published in 2010, a 21-expert panel offered consensus recommendations on the utility of CT, MRI and PET-CT in the staging and follow-up imaging for patients with ovarian cancer.
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.
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.
Can AI Facilitate Single-Phase CT Acquisition for COPD Diagnosis and Staging?
December 12th 2024The authors of a new study found that deep learning assessment of single-phase CT scans provides comparable within-one stage accuracies to multiphase CT for detecting and staging chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
