Technology, guidelines cement role for breast MR in cancer screening
MRI is more sensitive in identifying breast cancer than mammography, but its role in screening has been controversial and its diagnostic use varied. Better guidelines are needed to increase the modality's value in breast imaging, according to a presenter at the 2006 American Society of Breast Disease (ASBD) symposium in Las Vegas.

64-slice CT reliable as first-line test before coronary angiography
In two of the first studies comparing generations of CT systems, 64-slice scanners appear to be the most accurate in detecting coronary vessel obstruction. The studies, presented at the 2006 American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Atlanta, found clinically significant differences among 12-, 16-, and 64-slice scanners.
