Lumen area at CCTA predicts significance of stenosis

Measuring the minimal lumen area of coronary arteries scanned at coronary CT angiography (CCTA) can help distinguish lesions that are hemodynamically significant from those that are not, reducing the number of false positives, according to a new study by researchers from Austria.

Spectral imaging with DSCT edges out multienergy CT

In a world of multiple emerging spectral CT technologies, it's impossible to know which competing method will ultimately deliver the best image for the dose. But right now dual-source CT (DSCT) edges out the others, say German researchers.

Wavelet algorithm transforms cerebral CT angiography

Visualization of cerebral vessels at CT angiography can be vastly improved with the use of a novel technique called wavelet transform, which boosts signal-to-noise ratios as much as ninefold in 3D datasets and improves image quality overall, according to German researchers.
