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 »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 »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 »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 »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 »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...
