Experts: Consider BMI when imaging patients with chest pain
A patient’s body mass index (BMI) has a significant effect on how much radiation exposure they receive from chest imaging in cases of suspected cardiac ischemia, according to a study published April 9 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Cardiologists at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, MO, found that as BMI increases, so too does radiation exposure, although PET offers the least variability, followed by SPECT, and then coronary CT angiography (CCTA). The finding is key to providing “patient-centered” care, the group wrote.
“These data may be helpful to generate more accurate ...

Why insourcing isn ’ t always a win
On the final day of UNISON’s health conference, delegates heard a series of debates on defending the NHS against privatisation.
Tam Hiddleston for the service group executive warned that, while “we invariably think of insourcing as a positive,” some insourcing “is about private operators being brought into the NHS.”
UNISON needs to be very careful to monitor “any wider implications for Agenda for Change pay and conditions,” he continued.
Chris from London noted: “What’s the point of insourcing people and you just change their uniforms?”

Pulsar Helium taps Minnesota helium cache
Canadian-based Pulsar Helium has tapped into a helium cache in Minnesota yielding helium contents up to 13.8% -- good news for MR imaging.
"Keeping an MRI's magnetic current superconductive requires helium," Pulsar noted in an announcement, adding that the MRI market value worldwide is forecast to increase to over $12.1 billion by 2030.
Earlier this year, experts expressed concern about the domestic supply of helium for cooling MRI scanners. Pulsar focuses on sustainable and reliable sources of primary helium rather than helium produced as a byproduct of hydrocarbons such as liquid natural gas, according to the firm. It...
