PET/MRI proves value in cardiac sarcoidosis detection

By Wayne Forrest

U.K. researchers are recommending the use of PET/MRI to assess suspected cases of cardiac sarcoidosis, with late gadolinium enhancement and FDG uptake as the key indicators of disease, according to a study published online on 8 January in the European Heart Journal.

3D printing technique lowers cost of modeling stenosis

By Abraham Kim

Radiologists can plan and simulate vascular procedures on patient-specific and cost-effective 3D-printed stenosis models by using a new technique developed in Basel, Switzerland. Researchers generated stenotic vessel replicas at a more affordable price than what's currently available.

3D volumetry shows promise in lung but requires care

By Philip Ward

Volumetry measurement of lung nodules is gaining clinical acceptance but still poses significant practical difficulties, and major factors of variability are related to the nodule, technical scanner parameters, and hemodynamic issues, according to U.K. researchers.

How often are lung nodules missed on CAC scoring scans?

By Abraham Kim

If an incidental lung nodule is present on a CT coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring scan, how often is that nodule actually detected and worked up? Not as often as one might expect, according to researchers who analyzed the reasons why nodules might be missed in a presentation at RSNA 2017.

CT can pinpoint cardiac metastases in malignant melanoma

By Philip Ward

CT tends to underestimate cardiac metastases in malignant melanoma patients, and to reduce morbidity and mortality in these cases, awareness is essential of different types of cardiac metastases and their characteristic appearance on CT, German researchers have found.

MRI discovers heart damage among male triathletes

By Wayne Forrest

Using late gadolinium-enhanced MRI scans, German researchers found myocardial fibrosis, or scarring of the heart, among competitive male triathletes. An increased risk of scarring was associated with the amount of exercise performed, according to the group, who will present the study at next week's RSNA meeting in Chicago.
