- Abdominal CT Rarely Identifies Hepatic Metastases From Uveal Melanoma
  NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Abdominal CT scan seldom detects hepatic metastases from uveal melanoma and may not be indicated for screening, according to a report in the March Archives of Ophthalmology.
- Vaginal Dilation Does Not Prevent Damage From Radiotherapy
  NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - While vaginal dilation might help treat late effects of pelvic irradiation, evidence does not support routine dilation during or immediately after radiotherapy.
- Cardiac Catheterization Has Low Diagnostic Yield
  NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Just 38% of patients with suspected cardiac disease are found to have obstructive coronary disease on elective cardiac catheterization, new research shows. This low diagnostic yield suggests that clinical assessments and noninvasive tests are not doing their job in selecting patients for cardiac catheterization.
- U.S. Democrats Doubt March 18 Deadline on Health Care
  WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional Democrats on Tuesday cast doubt on their chances of meeting the White House's March 18 deadline for voting on a stalled healthcare overhaul, but said they are moving as fast as they can.
- Pelosi Faces Biggest Test on U.S. Health Care Vote
  WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The leader of the U.S. House of Representatives - a persuasive arm-twister and deal maker - faces her toughest challenge yet in the coming weeks: getting 216 votes to pass final legislation revamping the U.S. healthcare system.

- Multidetector CT Characterization of Microinfarction--Is It Ready for Clinical Use? [SCIENCE TO PRACTICE]
  Carlsson and associates performed comparative assessment in six swine and reported that 64-section multidetector CT can be used to detect heterogeneous microinfarcts and regional perfusion deficits resulting from microembolization with a degree of accuracy similar to that achieved with cardiac MR imaging.

  In this issue of Radiology, Tanaka and co-workers present a study that appears to identify imaging findings that, when present, may predict the development of pancreatic cancer.
- In Vivo Morphologic Imaging Taken to a Higher Level [EDITORIALS]
  The numerous diseases referenced in these papers that are now diagnosed by using relatively "low-resolution" ex vivo light microscopy may be made in the future with "high- resolution" in vivo MR imaging.
- Interventional Molecular Imaging [OPINIONS]
  Interventional molecular imaging can serve as one of the important approaches for bringing molecular imaging from benches and small-animal laboratories to large-animal suites, and, ultimately, to certain clinical applications in humans.
- Identification, Biopsy, and Treatment of Poorly Understood Premalignant, in Situ, and Indolent Low-Grade Cancers: Are We Becoming Victims of Our Own Success? [PERSPECTIVES]
  Imagers are increasingly detecting and performing percutaneous biopsies on borderline, preinvasive, or low-grade cancers that were heretofore rarely identified and that may never progress to meaningful disease.
