Early first trimester fetal dose estimation method in a multivendor study of 16- and 64-MDCT scanners and low-dose imaging protocols.

Journal article AJR Am J Roentgenol · October 2009 Featured Publication OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to corroborate the relation between the estimated absorbed fetal dose derived from directly measured uterine doses early in the first trimester and the volume CT dose index (CTDI(vol)) for 16- and 64-MDCT of the mat ...

Radiation dose for body CT protocols: variability of scanners at one institution.

Journal article AJR Am J Roentgenol · October 2009 Featured Publication OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to determine, using an anthropomorphic phantom, whether patients are subject to variable radiation doses based on scanner assignment for common body CT studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty metal oxide semiconduct ... Full text Link to item Cite

A phase I-II study of docetaxel and atrasentan in men with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer.

Journal article Clin Cancer Res · October 1, 2008 Featured Publication PURPOSE: The primary aims of this phase I-II study were to determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of the combination of docetaxel and the endothelin A receptor antagonist atrasentan as first ...

Radiation doses from small-bowel follow-through and abdomen/pelvis MDCT in pediatric Crohn disease.

Journal article Pediatr Radiol · March 2008 Featured Publication BACKGROUND: The onset of Crohn disease (CD) can occur in childhood. Imaging, which often involves radiation, is frequent in CD both for disease diagnosis and follow-up. However, information regarding radiation dose for contemporary CT and fluoroscopy is no ...

Hypervascular liver tumors: low tube voltage, high tube current multi-detector row CT for enhanced detection--phantom study.

Journal article Radiology · January 2008 Featured Publication PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate, for the depiction of simulated hypervascular liver lesions in a phantom, the effect of a low tube voltage, high tube current computed tomographic (CT) technique on image noise, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), lesion consp ...
