ESC: Cardiac CT gains steadily against angiography

PARIS - Angiography is invasive, costly, and too logistically cumbersome to be used as a diagnostic examination to rule out stenosis. That was the view of Dr. Stephan Achenbach, expressed in a heated debate during the European Society of Cardiology's (ESC) annual congress.

ESC: Cardiac MRI challenges SPECT in Paris debate

PARIS - The new guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) are unequivocal in strongly recommending functional testing before any invasive procedure for myocardial revascularization. Yet the choice of a test is left to the cardiologist who faces conflicting evidence.

French researchers aim for standardization in CT reporting

CT has emerged as a critical validation tool in assessing tumors. Yet radiology has an image problem with oncologists. Standardization of reporting should help convince oncologists about the value of imaging for assessing treatment, and ensure radiologists improve their reporting quality, according to French researchers.
