Most U.K. patients don't undergo needed coronary angiography
By Reuters Health
NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Apr 25 - Seven in 10 patients with suspected stable angina pectoris do not undergo appropriate cardiovascular testing and, as a result, have higher coronary event rates, according to a study in England. Investigators studied data for 10,634 consecutive patients with chest pain seen at one of six rapid access chest pain clinics in England between 1996 and 2002.

Obese patients challenge efficacy of cardiac CTA
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is proving useful for evaluating most patients with suspected coronary artery disease, particularly since the introduction of 64-slice scanners. But information about CTA's performance in certain subpopulations, such as obese patients, is lacking. Researchers from Belgium studied whether coronary CTA was useful in this patient population, and presented their findings at the 2008 European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

Mobile DR helps cut ED image transmission times
By Brian Casey
VIENNA - Using a mobile digital radiography (DR) system in the emergency department (ED) ward helped a radiology department at a French hospital cut the amount of time to image ED patients in half, according to a presentation on Sunday at the 2008 European Congress of Radiology. But the department's efforts to make the efficiency gains permanent have been stymied by government regulations on radiation exposure in healthcare facilities.
