Cardiac CTA hones coronary plaque assessment in patients with diabetes
Findings from a large multicenter study by U.S. researchers suggest 64-slice CT angiography is better suited to detect nonobstructive but otherwise clinically relevant coronary artery plaques in patients with diabetes than are other cardiac diagnostic tests. More »
Intravascular imaging refines understanding of plaque risk
A large, multicenter clinical trial involving several imaging modalities has found that plaque burden and plaques involving small lumen area are as likely as classically defined vulnerable plaques to trigger a myocardial infarction. More »
CTA beats calcium score in predicting near-term coronary events
Coronary artery stenosis assessed by CT angiography is a more reliable predictor of major short-term cardiac events—including intervention, heart attacks, and death—than is coronary calcium scoring, according to a study by researchers at a hospital in Michigan More »
PET boosts differential diagnosis of dementias
PET scans of neurochemical activity could aid the differential diagnosis of dementia, according to University of Michigan researchers. More »
Report from SNM: PET imaging of brain chemistry bolsters characterization of dementias
Imaging scientists achieved a major breakthrough when they proved it was possible to predict the onset of Alzheimer’s disease using PET scans of neurochemical activity. University of Michigan researchers are going for the next neuroimaging milestone by showing that the same technique can also aid in... More »
Radiologists address high expectations for kidney stone evaluations
Simple measures of kidney stone diameter no longer make the grade for urologists, who now require more comprehensive valuations of stone density and composition to guide treatment decisions. More »
Guidance avoids risk of radiation skin burns to patients during TIPS
The absence of ionizing radiation is one of the main arguments in favor of interventional MRI, but even fervent supporters of this technology appreciate the many practical difficulties involved in providing real-time MR image guidance. More »
Pericardial fat predicts risk of coronary artery disease
The presence and amount of fat around the heart could be an independent risk marker for coronary artery disease. More »
Good technique prevents calcium scoring pitfalls
Coronary artery calcium measurement with cardiac CT has been used for cardiovascular risk assessment since 1990. More »
