Preablation Assessment for the Left Atrium

Rationale and Objectives Evaluate the role of two-dimensional echocardiography and electrocardiographically (ECG)-gated contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomographic (MSCT) cardiac imaging to ...

Phase-Contrast Diffuse Optical Tomography

Rationale and Objectives We sought to investigate the utility of phase-contrast diffuse optical tomography (PCDOT) for differentiation of malignant and benign breast masses in humans and to compar...

Normal Thoracic Aorta Diameter on Cardiac Computed Tomography in Healthy Asymptomatic Adults

Rationale and Objectives To establish the normal criterion of ascending aortic diameter (AAOD) measured by 64 multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and electron beam computed tomography (EBT) b...

High-resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging on a Standard Field-strength Magnetic Resonance System Compared to Arthroscopy in Patients with Suspected Meniscal Tears

Rationale and Objectives We sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and conventional MRI of the knee on a standard–field-strength MRI syst...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Cirrhotic Liver Disease

Rationale and Objectives Our goal was to prospectively determine the value of perfusion computed tomography (CT) in the quantitative assessment of tumor-related angiogenesis in cirrhotic patients ...

Factors Affecting Attending Agreement with Resident Early Readings of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Head, Neck, and Spine

Rationale and Objectives This study examines the joint effect of several factors on radiology resident performance in the task of interpreting after-hours neuroradiology examinations. Materials a...

Evaluation of Renal Oxygenation in Rat by Using R2′ at 3-T Magnetic Resonance

Rationale and Objectives We sought to initially evaluate the feasibility of R2′ on a 3-T magnetic resonance (MR) scanner for assessment of renal oxygenation changes following administration of fur...

Effectiveness of CT-Guided Percutaneous Biopsies of the Spine

Rationale and Objectives The study goal was to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness of computed tomography (CT)-guided spinal biopsies. Material and Methods Two hundred two CT-guided verte...

Detection of Asymptomatic Cerebral Microbleeds

Rationale and Objectives The magnitude of iron-induced susceptibility changes in gradient echo T2*-weighted magnet resonance imaging (T2* MRI) increases with the field strength and should increase...

Defensive Medicine

These days, a college student’s “simple stomachache” can generate thousands of dollars in health care costs. CBS News reported that a University of Richmond sophomore’s visit to the emergency room ...
