Most CCTA scans prove valuable for FFR-CT analysis
By Abraham Kim
New European-led research suggests clinicians can use nearly all coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans for fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) analysis with simple adjustments to scanning protocols, such as minimizing slice thickness, controlling patient heart rate, and using dual-source or wide-coverage single-source CT units.

Optimum use of cardiac MRI boosts myocarditis detection
By Wayne Forrest
Myocarditis remains underdiagnosed, and lowering the threshold for diagnostic workup with cardiac MRI can help to identify myocarditis early, leading to significant improvements in patient care, according to a joint Swiss-German study published on 3 July in Swiss Medical Weekly.

Intracoronary imaging can guide heart attack treatment
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
Intracoronary imaging -- such as intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography -- can yield more precise diagnoses of heart attacks and be used to individualize patient treatment, according to an expert consensus paper published on 21 May in the European Heart Journal and presented this week at the EuroPCR meeting in Paris.

AI predicts myocardial infarction, death in patients at risk of CAD
By Erik L. Ridley
By analyzing clinical and hybrid imaging data, an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can predict which patients will go on to experience myocardial infarction or death during long-term follow-up, according to research from Finland presented at this week's International Conference on Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT in Lisbon.

AI can help facilitate gadolinium-free cardiac MRI
By Erik L. Ridley
Chinese and U.K. investigators have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that can detect chronic myocardial infarction on noncontrast-enhanced cardiac cine MRI. This might avoid the need for gadolinium-based contrast, according to an article posted online on 30 April in Radiology.

Conebeam CT mitigates cardiac motion during imaging
By Tami Freeman, PhD
Robotic C-arm conebeam CT helps guide interventional cardiac surgical procedures and can be valuable in radiotherapy, but the intrinsic motion of the beating heart causes blurring and image artifacts. A new technique can help overcome this limitation.
