Integrated fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT compared to standard contrast-enhanced CT for characterization and staging of pulmonary tumors eligible for surgical resection.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Accurate staging is necessary to determine the appropriate therapy in patients with lung cancer. Few studies have compared integrated fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and ... Read more...

Pediatric dose reduction in computed tomography.

30 Oct 2008 An appropriate balance between risk (radiation dose) and benefit (based on image quality) for computed tomography (CT) in children is essential. This balance comes through an understanding of CT dose, why we do pediatric CT, and how we do pediatric ... Read more...

Science to practice: Will inversion recovery with on-resonant water suppression be another way to routinely exploit off-resonance effects with MR imaging?

30 Oct 2008 In this issue of Radiology, Korosoglou et al evaluated the utility of inversion recovery with on-resonant water suppression (IRON) in combination with injection of the long-circulating monocrystalline iron oxide nanoparticle-47 for contrast ... Read more...
