CTA shows how statin treatment changes coronary plaque
By Kate Madden Yee
Dutch researchers have found CT angiography (CTA) demonstrates that statin treatment in patients at risk of heart disease not only reduces the volume of some types of coronary plaque -- thus slowing progression towards more advanced disease -- but it also changes plaque density.

What radiologists really need to know about sepsis
Around 25% of COVID-19 patients who require hospital treatment go into septic shock, and most deaths from COVID-19 are associated with sepsis. How should these cases be managed radiologically? Prof. Dr. Sebastian Ley from Munich provides some insight.
