CT colonography dose varies little over years
The effective doses associated with virtual colonoscopy have remained constant despite the increased use of multislice scanners, primarily due to the use of lower dose protocols, according to a study presented at the 2004 RSNA meeting.
The effective doses associated with virtual colonoscopy have remained constant despite the increased use of multislice scanners, primarily due to the use of lower dose protocols, according to a study presented at the 2004 RSNA meeting.
Dr. Sebastiaan Jensch and colleagues from the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam searched the literature for CT colonography accuracy studies and asked the institutions involved in those studies to provide their current scan protocols.
Both past and current protocols had a median effective dose of 4.2 mSv. The literature search revealed a median mAs of 88, while the current mAs value was 70. In past years, two-thirds of the scans were performed on a single-slice scanner. Today, nearly 90% are performed on multislice scanners.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
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.
