Stem cell regeneration of heart tissue methods await refining
By Eric Barnes
An original paper in European Radiology scans the many promising developments in stem cell regeneration of cardiac tissue following myocardial infarction. Researchers from the Netherlands find there is no "best method" in cell tracking but rather an array of techniques.

Germans support imaging arrhythmia patients with single-beat CT
By Rebekah Moan
Single-beat cardiac CT not only allows for dose reduction and high accuracy, but also for greater flexibility in imaging patients with arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, and shortness of breath, said a researcher from Charité Medical University in Berlin.

iSi 2011: MRI advances in analysis of cardiac function
By Frances Rylands-Monk
A leading European MR expert has stressed that late gadolinium enhancement imaging of the nonischemic heart continues to show promise in differential diagnosis, both as a prognostic outcome predictor when disease is already established and as a guide to therapeutic decisions.

What MRI can (and can't yet) do for cardiac imaging
By Eric Barnes
MRI opens a window into heart disease that is more specialized and more powerful than other imaging methods. Still, many of MRI's best diagnostic tools remain clumsy and time-consuming, its images burdened by artifacts, and its results unproven, said a presenter at an MRI symposium in Berlin.

Perfusion CT can help assess coronary artery disease
By Rebekah Moan
CT angiography has carved out a niche in heart imaging thanks to its ability to display cardiac morphology. But German researchers think it could have a role to play in functional imaging as well with the use of a dynamic CT perfusion technique they've developed that measures myocardial blood flow.
