Emergent CT angiography and risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury in acute ischaemic stroke
Objectives: Emergent computed tomography angiography with contrast is commonly performed for acute ischaemic stroke, but potentially delayed pending admission renal function assessment due to purported risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury.

Role of noncontrast magnetic resonance pulmonary imaging in diagnosis of pulmonary embolism
Background Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious condition and has a clinical dilemma in diagnosis. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a gold standard in its diagnosis, but MRI has proven a good role in PE diagnosis.

Rationale and design of the Clinical Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Coronary heart disease 2 trial (CE-MARC 2): a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial of diagnostic strategies in suspected coronary heart disease [PDF]
Background: A number of investigative strategies exist for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). Despite the widespread availability of noninvasive imaging, invasive angiography is commonly used early in the diagnostic pathway.

Single injection dual phase CBCT technique ameliorates results of trans-arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular cancer [PDF]
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) application to the field of trans-arterial chemoembolization has been recently the focus of several researches. This imaging modality is performed with a rotation of the C-arm around the patient, without needs of patient repositioning.
