'''A large, academic medical center implemented an imaging algorithm that allowed radiologists to successfully reduce the cumulative radiation exposure and number of computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) and CT perfusion studies performed on patients ...'

'''Computed tomography (CT) scans are superior to standard radiography (X-rays) for the detection of pelvic fractures, according to a study to be presented at the American Roentgen Ray Society 2010 Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA. CT scanning combines ...'

'''When trauma patients receive a computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, a technique called CT spine reformatting eliminates the need for X-rays of the thoracic and/or lumbar spine to detect spinal fractures. This technique can ...'

'''A U.S. study suggests the use of computed tomography scans and magnetic resonance imaging might shorten the length of a person's hospital stay. Massachusetts General Hospital researchers led by Dr. Juan Carlos Battle said they also found the use of ...'

'''Just as with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the growth rate among non-radiologists who own or lease positron emission tomography (PET) equipment is also on the rise, contributing significantly to the ongoing issues ...'

'''The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced an initiative to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure from three types of medical imaging procedures: computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine studies, and fluoroscopy. These procedures are the ...'

'''A large academic medical center has found that a significant percentage of outpatient referrals they receive from primary care physicians for computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies are inappropriate (based upon ...'

'''The Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences and GE Healthcare Canada today announced the establishment of a new learning centre dedicated to training both the current and next generation of CT health care specialists. The new GE ...'

'''A study published in the January issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology found that the image quality of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scans can be significantly affected by patient characteristics such as ethnicity, body mass index ...'

'''A large multicenter international trial found that the image quality of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scans, used for the noninvasive detection of coronary artery disease, can be significantly affected by patient characteristics such as ...'
