Contrast-enhanced mammography is developing as an alternative to MRI in some situations. However, in order to decrease the radiation dose, the question is if we can perform only a single view instead of a double view. From this cohort, the answer is not positive. Tip:...
This prospective study compared 4D-CTA and DSA for the detection or arterio-venous shunts and found that CTA was able to replace DSA as the first work-up modality. Article: High sensitivity and specificity of 4D-CTA in the detection of cranial arteriovenous shunts...
Collecting patients’ complaints is an important issue and a major marker of quality. This is the best way to improve daily practice, even if, in this center, complaints have not increased in number over 9 years. Article: Patient complaints in radiology: 9-year...
High b-values can be calculated from data collected with lower b-values. The benefit is a shorter acquisition and optimal contrast-to-noise ratio. However, do these virtual images really compete with native high b-values? Tip: Read more about prostate cancer here and...
Fat fraction became the standard for detection and quantification of liver steatosis. This is true for trials, but also for daily practice. Article: Diagnostic accuracy of hepatic proton density fat fraction measured by magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of...
Microstructural changes in the white matter can be helpful for early detection and characterization of different subtypes of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Article: Exploring quantitative group-wise differentiation of Alzheimer’s disease and behavioural...
This increasingly successful method for percutaneous valve repair comes with the necessity of very precise and detailed analysis in order to plan the implant position. This can be achieved by CT and/or MRI. The European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology provides...
This article explains the principle of grating-interferometry mammography. This can be obtained through the modification of a standard mammography device. The dose is unchanged. It provides different and additional information when compared with mammography. Article:...
Detection of invasive placenta is important as it necessitates special attention and treatment. A combination of US (anterior placenta) and MRI (posterior placenta) allows for reliable detection and staging. Article: Identification of suspicious invasive placentation...
