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.

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.
