TL;DR: With regard to published data for standard-dose CT, the present CT protocol seems to be comparable in its diagnostic yield in assessing patients with calculi, and its radiation dose is equivalent to that of KUB.

TL;DR: Perfusion of pancreatic carcinomas was significantly lower than of normal pancreatic tissue (P < 0.001) and could be visualized on colored perfusion maps and the 320-slice CT allows complete dynamic visualization of the pancreas and enables calculation of whole-organ perfusions maps.

TL;DR: The CT protocol investigated enabled imaging of the thoracic aorta, coronary and pulmonary arteries with an excellent diagnostic quality for chest pain triage in all patients with noncritical, acute chest pain with less contrast material and reduced radiation exposure compared with previously investigated imaging protocols.

TL;DR: Sixty-four-slice CT typified the dramatic race in technical development in radiology, and the latest innovations-new detector materials, dual-layer detector,Dual-source and dynamic volume CT-represent the pinnacles in CT imaging, pursuing different directions to further clinical applications of CT.

TL;DR: Gadofosveset trisodium serves well for first-pass imaging in WB-MRA as compared with gadopentetate dimeglumine, with the differences being significant in 3 of 4 vessel segments.
