Dual-energy CT (DECT) is not new, in fact, says Benjamin Yeh, MD, it has been around just as long as computed tomography (CT) has. What is new is that CT scanners can capture DECT quickly and with good image quality. He discusses new applications of DECT along with his lab's translational research group focusing on the exploration and development of novel CT techniques.

The SAR and ESUR set out to establish joint guidelines on PAS disorders and propose strategies to standardize image acquisition, interpretation and reporting with MRI. The lead authors of this important consensus work are Priyanka Jha, MBBS and Liina Poder, MD.

Parental leave policies are a frequent topic in the news, including in the field of internal medicine. Kirti Magudia, MD, PhD, recently reviewed a study that found that most internal medicine program directors (PDs) misinterpret American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) leave policies for resident physicians.

A team of scientists led by the UCSF Radiology Neuroradiology Section evaluated the rate of findings in patients who received serial head CTs in the emergency department.

A group of researchers set out to assess the radiologic findings associated with intimate partner violence (IPV). Dr. Elizabeth George was lead author on this study.
