GE reroutes migration of MR technologies from 3T to 1.5T
The actual time a technology arrives, the moment when it becomes the standard against which others in its class are compared, is apparent only in retrospect. More »
Report from ISET: Sonoelastography breaks through in carotid imaging
Following a stream of new clinical applications for ultrasound elastography, researchers at New York Medical College have announced new evidence suggesting the technology is sensitive and accurate for characterization of carotid artery plaque. Sonoelastography could help prevent strokes and other... More »
Carotid ultrasound predicts heart attack, stroke
Evaluation of carotid artery plaque density performed on serial ultrasound scans could help identify patients at high risk for a heart attack or other adverse cardiovascular events, according to Austrian researchers. More »
Carotid US predicts heart attack, stroke
Evaluation of carotid artery plaque density performed on serial ultrasound scans could help identify patients at high risk for a heart attack or other adverse cardiovascular events, according to Austrian researchers. More »
Three-D MRI zeroes in on stroke-inducing carotid artery disease
Evidence that plaque pathophysiology and not just stenosis may be responsible for cardiac and cerebrovascular disease continues to accumulate. Three-D MRI can accurately detect bleeding carotid artery walls, a potentially predictive warning of stroke, according to Canadian investigators. More »

Advanced stroke imaging leads to new management challenges
The patient was a married engineer and father of three. He presented to the emergency room with a global arterial circulation deficit, aphasia, and hemiplegia. An earlier noncontrast CT of the brain had found no signs of hemorrhage. An MR scan revealed a considerable perfusion defect caused by a... More »
High-field scanners assume routine clinical caseloads
The market for 3T MRI is undoubtedly growing. Five years ago, few sites were using a 3T scanner for anything other than research. Now the higher field strength devices can be found in many clinical radiology departments and outpatient imaging clinics across the U.S. Clinical 3T is making inroads in... More »
Coronary CT angiography finally finds itself an affordable home
A year ago, research regarding 64-slice CT angiography focused on feasibility. Feasibility is no longer an issue. Rather, a wealth of evidence presented at this year's European Congress of Radiology attests to the fact that coronary CTA is a powerful and useful tool to evaluate patients... More »
