Comparison of digital mammography and screen-film mammography in breast cancer screening: a review in the Irish breast screening program.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Clinical trials to date into the use of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) for breast cancer screening have shown variable results. The aim of this study was to review the use of FFDM in a population-based breast cancer screening ... Read more...

Prospective and retrospective ECG gating for thoracic CT angiography: a comparative study.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to compare radiation dose, contrast load, thoracic aortic attenuation value, and image quality parameters of MDCT thoracic aortography performed with prospective and retrospective cardiac gating. MATERIALS ... Read more...

CT-guided biopsy of perivascular tumor encasement using simultaneous IV contrast enhancement.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to describe and review the accuracy of a novel technique for difficult biopsy of arterial tumor encasement using simultaneous IV contrast enhancement and helical CT guidance for coaxial core needle biopsies. ... Read more...
