Helical Multidetector Row Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT) Precision

Rationale and Objectives The impact of varying image acquisition parameters on the precision of measurements using quantitative computed tomography is currently based on studies performed before t...

Erratum

MR Colonography With Fecal Tagging Barium vs. Barium Ferumoxsil. Acad Radiol 2008; 15:576-583. In the article “MR Colonography With Fecal Tagging Barium vs. Barium Ferumoxsil,” which was published...

Dual-energy CT Discrimination of Iodine and Calcium

Rationale and Objectives The purpose of this work was to measure the accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography for identifying iodine and calcium and to determine the effects of calcium suppress...

Determining Optimal Acquisition Parameters for Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography

Rationale and Objectives Scanning parameters used in multislice computed tomographic (MSCT) coronary angiography should be adapted to patients’ heart rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate t...

Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring on Low-dose Prospective Electrocardiographically-triggered 64-Slice CT

Rationale and Objectives The purpose of this prospective study was to assess image noise and variability in repeated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring on low-dose prospective electrocardiograp...

Contrast Enhancement in Chest Multidetector Computed Tomography

Rationale and Objectives We sought to intraindividually compare intravascular contrast enhancement in multidector computed tomography (MDCT) of the chest using contrast media (CM) containing 300 a...

Computer-aided Detection of Endobronchial Valves Using Volumetric CT

Rationale and Objectives The ability to automatically detect and monitor implanted devices may serve an important role in patient care by aiding the evaluation of device and treatment efficacy. Th...

Comparison of the Accuracy of CT Volume Calculated by Circumscription to Prolate Ellipsoid Volume (Bidimensional Measurement Multiplied by Coronal Long Axis)

Rationale and Objectives Tumor volume is one of the most important factors in evaluating the response to treatment of patients with cancer. The objective of this study was to compare computed tomo...

Colonoscopies, real or virtual

Last year, my friendly internist told me it was time for my periodic colonoscopy. I have had several colonoscopies and barium enemas (BEs). I am well aware that the prep makes the night before amon...

Breaking Bad News in the Breast Imaging Setting

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the experience and desire for training breast imagers in discussing “bad news” with their patients. No such information has been p...
