If a scan is maxed out in mA for the entire scan, then the average and the maximum mA values will be identical. In such a case, we classify the protocol as having either a manual mA technique or being “maxed out”. If the maximum mA and the average are not equal, then we ...

Technique: The volume of contrast injected and dose of the DCE-CT scan is recorded. Comment should also be made on the diagnostic quality and adequacy of the study (see earlier section). Findings: Site (lobe and segment) and size (short and long axis nodule measurements) in mm. ...
(PET-CT) is central to characterising loco-regional and distant disease at initial staging and has an increasing role in post-treatment response assessment4. Randomised controlled trial data has shown that PET-CT performed post CRT is an accurate and cost-effective technique for assessing response ...
In cases of a negative 18F-FDG PET/CT scan, a negative impact on management (i.e. surveillance versus treatment) was mitigated by positive clinical data. No previous study has assessed management change, although, there have been a limited number of studies comparing diagnostic performance of ...
Screening-detection depends on the location and volume of the tumour and the sensitivity of the CT scan (Additional file 1: Section 1.1.5.2, Table S7). Individuals with a detected nodule proceed with a nodule management algorithm. The nodule management algorithm defines the threshold values of ...
9 CT might outperform radiography in paediatric trauma,10 but the dose of radiation from a CT scan is perceived to be unjustified in suspected cases of physical abuse. New CT algorithms and machine technology now allow optimisation of the dose of radiation, such that the benefit of accurate ...
