Cardiotoxicity from radiotherapy makes case for imaging
By Eric Barnes
Radiotherapy of the lungs and heart have saved many patients' lives, but because radiation also harms the heart, the organ should generally be evaluated following cancer treatment, especially for higher-risk groups of patients, according to a Belgian-authored article in the European Heart Journal.

Single-source CT equivalent to dual-source in TAVI planning
By Eric Barnes
High-pitch single-source CT is as good as dual-source when planning for transaortic valve implantation (TAVI), an increasingly common procedure that often is effective and safer than open heart surgery, a leading European expert noted at the 2013 International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT.
