It most likely can, according to a U.K. study of more than 1,000 patients, in results presented on Thursday at ECR 2013.March 6, 2013Cardiac ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderFebruary 25, 2013Clinical NewsStudy: Use CCTA 1st for lower-risk chest pain patientsChoosing cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) first to assess chest pain is more cost-effective than initial stress myocardial perfusion cardiac MR for all but the highest-risk patients, according to a presentation at the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance meeting.February 20, 2013Clinical NewsCT features help predict resolving, nonresolving lung nodulesCT can't precisely distinguish resolving from persistent and potentially malignant lung nodules at the first scan, but it does reveal the probabilities associated with different nodule characteristics, Dutch radiologists have found.February 18, 2013Clinical NewsIt's time to curb costs and streamline care, Belgian expert urgesRadiologists need to streamline the care they provide to save money and maximize the value of their images -- or else others will do it for them, according to Dr. Frank Rademakers, PhD, in a keynote lecture at the recent 2013 Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance meeting.February 11, 2013Industry NewsSpecial CT, MR protocols fare well in spotting significant CADA multidetector-row CT protocol that comprises coronary CT angiography and stress-rest perfusion delivers equivalent results to a cardiac MRI myocardial perfusion protocol for detecting functionally significant coronary artery disease (CAD), according to a new study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.January 30, 2013Cardiac ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderJanuary 14, 2013Clinical NewsMRI shows increased epicardial fat in depressed patientsCardiac MR reveals that patients with major depressive disorder have more epicardial fat deposits compared with normal controls -- and, as a result, depressed individuals face a higher risk of heart disease as well -- say researchers from Hannover, Germany.January 14, 2013Clinical NewsCCTA sensitive for high-risk coronary disease, overcalls stenosisCoronary CT angiography (CCTA) is highly accurate for diagnosing the most dangerous forms of coronary artery disease -- left main artery disease or three-vessel disease -- but the examination significantly overcalls the extent of atherosclerosis compared with angiography, Dutch researchers reported at RSNA 2012.January 13, 2013Previous PagePage 30 of 59Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingHybrid AI reading shows success in breast cancer screeningA Dutch team found that a hybrid reading strategy for screening mammography reduced radiologist workload by 38% without changing recall or cancer detection rates.Medical, Legal, and PracticeCooking robot gets rave reviews in TübingenMRIUltrasound plus MRI helps diagnose pain from rotator cuff tendinopathyMedical, Legal, and PracticePressure grows for more rigorous financial disclosureMRIMRI, CT findings correlate for assessing epicardial fat volume
