There is an expected advantage sharing imaging data, allowing studies based on larger multicentric samples. There are technical solutions to that, and this will probably become a standard for research. Radiologists should be organized in order to increase...
Whole body CT with only 1.5 mSv detects osteolytic lesions Very low-dose CT examinations can be achieved with low kV and tin filtering, reaching a total dose of 1.5 mSv for this whole-body examination. CT can now become a routine tool to detect and follow-up...
In general, a lower dose means a lower image quality. The authors have studied the lowest acceptable dose for a reliable analysis of the appendix, for general radiologists and for dedicated specialists. Is it possible to go under 1 mSv? Read this article to...
This study shows that sMRI is a valuable addition to conventional MRI for patients with vertebral fractures. Key points: • sMRI allows a reliable evaluation of vertebral body fractures. • sMRI has higher accuracy than standard-MRI for evaluation of...
