Lung Low Dose Computed Tomography: To Scan or Not to Scan

Intelerad

This is in part due to the increased messaging around how smoking is harmful to your health as well as advancements in imaging practices. Today, Low Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) imaging is the gold standard for detecting abnormalities in the lungs because it exposes patients to less radiation than a traditional CT scan.

ISMRM: What's next for MRI applications for MSK trauma?

AuntMinnie

X-ray and CT imaging are the go-to exams for trauma, Fritz conceded, but MRI is gaining ground as an effective modality for MSK trauma applications, in part because it does not expose patients to radiation and because it can image soft tissue well. For comparison, a computed tomography image is provided on the right.

Advantages of Cone Beam Computed Tomography for Evaluation of Subchondral Insufficiency Fractures of the Knee Compared to MRI

CurveBeam AI

Key Points: Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is superior in assessing bony structures compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) In this study, there was a 40% rate of discrepancy when grading knee subchondral insufficiency fractures on CBCT vs. MRI, with MRI frequently underestimating damage of the subchondral bone plate while overestimating lesion size.
