Drop ultrasound contrast agent warning, society says

By Rebekah Moan

The International Contrast Ultrasound Society (ICUS) has filed a petition with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration urging the agency to remove boxed warnings from ultrasound contrast agents. ICUS believes the warnings are obsolete in light of clinical experience and recently released data on the safety of the agents.

Evidence mounts: Use macrocyclic GBCAs in pediatric MRI

By Wayne Forrest

Could macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) become the standard MRI protocol for pediatric patients? German researchers think so, after finding no measurable increase in signal intensity in key brain regions after multiple administrations in a study published in the October issue of Radiology.

Group calls for global research effort into gadolinium

By Wayne Forrest

Two European researchers are forging ahead with their proposal to collect clinical experiences and outcomes with gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) and store the information in a worldwide database. The ultimate goal is to further advance research into GBCA safety, as outlined in the January issue of Radiology.

High iodine concentrations don't improve CCTA

Using higher iodine concentrations when performing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) yields no significant improvement in contrast attenuation, concludes a new study led by cardiac imaging pioneer Dr. Stephen Achenbach.

T1 mapping speeds myocardial assessment in cardiac MR

Researchers in Italy are saving time in their use of cardiac MRI to assess myocardial viability by using native T1-weighted mapping instead of a cumbersome T2-weighted imaging approach, according to a new study that compared both methods and found the latter wanting.

CTC excels in matchup with FIT, colonoscopy

In the first randomized trial to pit CT colonography (CTC) against the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and conventional optical colonoscopy, FIT yielded a higher participation rate than CTC but found fewer cancers and advanced lesions, according to results published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Rubidium PET/CT reveals vascular problems in diabetes patients

Danish researchers have found high rates of microvascular disease using PET/CT with a rubidium radiopharmaceutical in diabetes patients without symptoms of heart disease. The disease was exacerbated in the setting of albuminuria, a common condition in these patients, according to a new study in Diabetologia.

No need for CT: Contrast US can follow up solid-organ injuries

By Erik L. Ridley

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used instead of CT for following up solid-organ injuries in children and young adults, avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure in this vulnerable population, according to researchers from London's King's College Hospital who reported their findings from a large retrospective study.

Wavelet algorithm transforms cerebral CT angiography

Visualization of cerebral vessels at CT angiography can be vastly improved with the use of a novel technique called wavelet transform, which boosts signal-to-noise ratios as much as ninefold in 3D datasets and improves image quality overall, according to German researchers.

CT values determine coronary stenosis severity

A novel technique developed in the Netherlands promises to determine stenosis severity in coronary CT angiography noninvasively -- and without the complexity of fluid dynamics calculations used in other noninvasive CT examinations, according to an article-in-press by the European Journal of Radiology.

Heart rate jumps with CT contrast agent

VIENNA - Faster heart rates are the last thing radiologists want with coronary CT angiography. But that's apparently what they get when using a contrast agent with a slightly higher iodine concentration, according to a Monday presentation at ECR 2014.
