CT follows clinical findings for suspected child abuse
CTs should be ordered for children suspected of being abused only if clinical findings suggest they may be positive, according to a study published online in Pediatric Radiology.
CTs should be ordered for children suspected of being abused only if clinical findings suggest they may be positive, according to a study published online in Pediatric Radiology.
Incomplete history and concern for occult injury in children suspected of suffering abuse occasionally results in CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis, most of which are negative. Several clinical factors can guide whether the CTs will be positive. These include absent/hypoactive bowel sounds, liver function tests greater than twice normal, more than two abnormal labs, or physical exam findings.
The retrospective review involved 68 children older than 36 months who had a CT of the abdomen/pelvis at the University of Michigan Health System.
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.
