High-risk cardiac patients benefit from HD CT scanning
By Rebekah Moan
SAN FRANCISCO - A U.K. practice found that for chest pain patients with low amounts of heart calcium, high-definition (HD) CT provides little benefit. But high-risk patients or those with pre-existing disease might benefit, according to a study at this week's International Society for Computed Tomography meeting.

Don't write off nuclear cardiology, urges U.K. specialist
By Edna Astbury-Ward, PhD
The stunning success of cardiac CT perfusion has led some experts to question whether nuclear cardiology has a future, but it may be premature to write off nuclear cardiology. It is a robust, tried, and tested field supported by very established data, according to a U.K. specialist.
