Risk Factors for Contrast-Induced Nephrotoxicity Debated
Conflicting with current belief, a new study finds that patients with a history of diabetes are not one of the most at risk for contrast-induced nephrotoxicity. Instead, the study revealed that patients with a history of renal disease, hypertension, and/or heart disease are more likely to suffer from renal insufficiency, putting them at greater risk for contrast-induced nephrotoxicity.

CT-Induced Cancer Poses Minimal Risk Compared to Risk of Dying from Disease
Young patients who undergo chest or abdominopelvic computed tomography scanning are more than 35 times more likely to die of their disease than develop a radiation-induced cancer, according to a review of 23,359 patients, some of whom were scanned more than 15 times. More...18 May 2012
Low-Dose Whole-Body CT Identifies Multiple Myeloma Disease Missed on Conventional Imaging
Low-dose whole body computed tomography imaging is close to four times better than a radiographic skeletal survey, the standard of care in the United States, for determining the extent of disease in patients with multiple myeloma, according to recent research. More...17 May 2012
