Journal Review-Radiology October 2010

Two papers from Radiology October 2010 are featured here to update the readers of the exciting updates in the field of medical imaging.

Few days back we had post coiling patient who post the procedure deteriorated. Plain CT scan showed increased sulcal density in the area, which could have been persisitent post angiographic contrast versus rebleed. Going through the article "Evaluation of Dual-Energy CT for Differentiating Intracerebral Hemorrhage from Iodinated Contrast Material Staining- October 2010 Radiology, 257,205-211." , possibly dual energy CT is the answer


Right Coronary MR Angiography at 7 T: A Direct Quantitative and Qualitative Comparison with 3 T in Young Healthy Volunteers- October 2010 Radiology, 257,254-259 has found improvement in evaluation of right coronary artery using 7Tesla MRI versus 3T.
