'Tiered' CT approach shows promise in coronary disease

In patients with stable angina and suspected coronary disease, a "tiered" approach to CT imaging finds -- so far at least -- that calcium scoring is all many patients need. That's right, for most patients there's simply no need to start with the big imaging guns, researchers in Rotterdam report.

4D peripheral CT often beats dynamic MRI

Pinpointing flow problems in the peripheral arteries is a task that is typically handed over to dynamic MR angiography. But often, bone-subtracted 4D CT angiography can do a better job, according to German researchers.

Rotterdam group helps gauge coronary disease severity

At the same time that a validated fractional flow reserve CT angiography application seems to be nearing U.S. Food and Drug administration approval, a new contender for gauging the severity of coronary disease at CT is pushing its way into the ring. Furthermore, it promises to be a simpler solution, according to a team of Dutch researchers.

Nodule size matters in Italian CT lung cancer screening study

Italian researchers believe they have struck a good balance in CT lung cancer screening by following up suspicious nodules at a slightly larger size threshold. By only following up nodules 5 mm and larger rather than 4 mm, they achieved good sensitivity with fewer false positives.

DWI MRI boosts edema detection in acute myocarditis

Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is similar to -- and probably a little better than -- conventional black blood short tau inversion-recovery MR images when it comes to detecting edema in patients with myocarditis, the authors of a new study from Spain have found.

IARCA anomalies rare, but often signal other cardiac problems

Intra-atrial right coronary artery (IARCA) anomalies are rare, but when detected at coronary CT angiography, they often indicate the presence of other cardiac anomalies, according to a new Polish study published in the European Journal of Radiology.
