CT scanning is a critical part of evaluating patients in the ED. Integrating spectral reconstructions into CT protocols can significantly improve patient outcomes by providing rapid and accurate diagnosis, which can help increase the radiologists’ confidence. By providing a window into physiologic alterations and tissue characterization beyond conventional CT, Spectral CT enables customized contrast protocols, which among many things; can help to reduce the likelihood of contrast induced nephropathy.

IV contrast extravasation is a not uncommon complication in the performance IV contrast enhanced CT examinations.  In this accredited Expert Forum Webcast, we will review the different complications related to IV contrast administration.  This will be followed by analysis of different factors that contribute to IV contrast-extravasation and subsequent discussion of best practices that can reduce the incidence of IV contrast extravasation.  A novel method which reduced contrast extravasation by over 50% will also be presented.

Evidence-based Approach to Minimizing IV Contrast Extravasation

Multiparametric-magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) has shown promising results in diagnosis, localization, risk stratification and staging of clinically significant prostate cancer. It has also opened opportunities for focal treatment of prostate cancer.  Through a modality and case study review, Dr. Harisinghani will provide a comprehensive discussion about the benefits of MpMRI for Prostate Cancer diagnosis and management.

Join us for an Expert Forum Webinar with Dr. Raman Danrad, who will share his experience utilizing Spectral CT and its clinical support tools designed to improve CADRADS scoring during reduced contrast dose, necessary rescue bolus, differentiation of thrombus/mass/flow artifacts, differentiation of calcium vs contrast, and lack of enhancement in the myocardium.

Spectral CT In Cardiac Imaging

African Americans comprise 13% of the US population, yet represent a disproportionate prevalence of cancer with the worst outcomes of all racial and ethnic groups for most cancers.  Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the United States and African American males are approximately 15% more likely to develop lung cancer compared to Caucasian males, and have the highest lung cancer mortality of all racial and ethnic groups. In this Expert Forum Webinar, we'll hear from Dr. Shefali Gajjar, an Assistant Clinical Professor at Thomas Jefferson University, who recently co-authored a paper on this subject for Applied Radiation Oncology, and who will share her thoughts on this important topic and how we can begin to address this issue.`
