Patients with possible appendicitis are typically evaluated using a standard-dose contrast enhanced CT, but a low-dose unenhanced CT that delivers approximately 50 percent less radiation is just as ...
July 6, 2012 — An emergency department (ED) strategy that eliminates the routine use of oral contrast for abdominal-pelvic (AP) computed tomography (CT) for undifferentiated abdominal pain can reduce ...
A new paper in the British Journal of Surgery, published by Oxford University Press, indicates it's now possible to diagnose appendicitis using low-does CT scans, decreasing the radiation exposure, ...
WASHINGTON (Reuters Health) - When someone has all the signs of acute appendicitis, waiting to get a CT scan to confirm the diagnosis is not a good idea, researchers report. Compared with a ...
Nov. 16 (UPI) --CT scans expose patients to radiation, even as they help doctors spot serious health problems. Now, a new study finds low-dose scans can spot appendicitis readily while reducing ...
A new paper in the British Journal of Surgery, published by Oxford University Press, indicates it's now possible to diagnose appendicitis using low-does CT scans, decreasing the radiation exposure, ...
According to an open-access article in ARRS' American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), IV contrast-enhanced 2-millisievert CT (2-mSv CT) is comparable to conventional-dose CT (CDCT) for the diagnosis ...
Using ultrasound as the first diagnostic imaging technique to detect appendicitis in children produces comparable outcomes to computed tomography (CT) scanning with less radiation and without ...
