Italian researchers found a way to efficiently deploy CCTA screening and shared their technique in a 14 October article in the European Heart Journal.October 30, 2016Clinical NewsAbsolute coronary lumen size on CCTA predicts functionThe key question surrounding the functional significance of a coronary lesion can be answered with absolute lesion diameter rather than percent stenosis as measured with coronary CT angiography (CCTA), concludes a new study in European Radiology.October 27, 2016Clinical NewsHead CT algorithm a step toward faster stroke careUsing automated software to interpret head CT scans could someday slash the time emergency doctors need to start clot-busting treatments in cases of suspected ischemic stroke, according to Dutch researchers.October 6, 2016Clinical NewsHead CT algorithm a step toward faster stroke careUsing automated software to interpret head CT scans could someday slash the time emergency doctors need to start clot-busting treatments in cases of suspected ischemic stroke, according to a method proposed in a SPIE Newsroom technical article.October 6, 2016Clinical NewsResearchers close in on radiation's cancer-causing mechanismsU.K. researchers studying human cancers have identified two characteristic patterns of DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation, enabling doctors to potentially determine which tumors were caused by radiation exposure, according to a study published on September 12 in Nature Communications.September 11, 2016Clinical NewsAuntMinnieEurope.com Cardiac Imaging InsiderSeptember 7, 2016Molecular ImagingCCTA plus SPECT offer solid long-term prognosisPatients with positive findings on both coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging are at high risk of cardiac events, while negative results on both exams confer an excellent long-term prognosis, according to researchers from Switzerland.September 7, 2016Clinical NewsReconstruction kernel cuts artifacts in CT MPIA new reconstruction algorithm can erase beam-hardening artifacts in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in dual-source CT, bolstering the reliability of the increasingly popular examination, according to a U.S.-German study in European Radiology.September 6, 2016Clinical NewsOCT identifies heart patients who can forgo stentingAs many as one-fourth of heart attack patients who would normally have a stent implanted can forgo the procedure in favor of conservative management based on the results of optical coherence tomography (OCT), concluded U.S. researchers in a presentation at the European Society of Cardiology congress (ESC 2016) in Rome.September 1, 2016Clinical NewsESC: CT is effective gatekeeper for invasive angioIn stable patients with chest pain and suspected coronary artery disease, using coronary CT angiography to guide the selective use of invasive coronary angiography is safer and less expensive than sending patients directly to angiography, according to results presented on Monday at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress in Rome.August 31, 2016Previous PagePage 6 of 59Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingNew data cements AI's role in breast screeningAI continues to show significant clinical promise as a second reader for breast cancer screening, a new Dutch study shows.
