Catch up on the latest imaging research from the recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress.

The use of adjunctive AI for pulmonary nodule assessment on chest CT exams led to over a three-minute reduction in median reporting time, according to newly reported research.

A new study shows that even small plaque volume may be associated with significantly higher risk for cardiovascular events, making the enhanced spatial resolution available with advanced imaging even more critical in risk stratification.

In comparison to contrast-enhanced CT, FAPI PET was associated with over 27 percent higher sensitivity for peritoneal carcinomatosis in the small bowel and 53 percent higher sensitivity in the upper abdomen, according to a new study involving 200 women with primary ovarian carcinoma.

New research suggests that photon-counting CT provides comparable sensitivity to breast MRI for lesion characterization, higher accuracy than MRI for nodal metastasis and lower detection of microcalcifications in comparison to full-field digital mammography.

Elevated coronary inflammation, measured with the CCTA-derived and AI-enabled perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) score, was associated with over a 12-fold higher risk for cardiovascular mortality in patients with no diabetes, hypertension, smoking history or obesity, according to new research presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress.

New research presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) conference demonstrates that fractional flow reserve (FFR) based off CCTA exams significantly decreases unnecessary invasive coronary angiography (ICA) procedures for patients with stable chest pain and obstructive stenosis.

In addition to providing stronger image quality, well-designed photon-counting CT systems may facilitate increased standardization, efficiency and simplification that may lead to reduced cognitive burden for radiologists.

Reducing false positives in evaluation of muscle invasion in bladder cancer cases that can occur with conventional imaging, spectral information with photon-counting CT may offer significantly improved accuracy and specificity in local staging.

The high-resolution temporal and spatial imaging with photon-counting CT bolster our understanding of the connections between anatomy and function in structural heart imaging.

Use of the CARE Multi-Triage CT Body software will be eligible for a New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) from CMS starting on October 1, 2026 for inpatients in Medicare fee for service plans.

Catch up on the latest blogs from Filippo Cademartiri, MD, PhD, who discusses topics ranging from CCTA scan acquisition and photon-counting CT to artificial intelligence and assessment of current plaque as a biomarker for evaluating MACE risk.

Smaller voxel size may offer insights into biology we could never access with conventional resolution.

In comparison to 2023 statistics, the authors of a new study noted an approximately 49 percent increase in radiology turnaround time for ultrasound interpretation and over a 35 percent increase in turnaround time for X-ray assessments.

Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) assessment with photon-counting CT offered higher sensitivity and comparable specificity and AUC to magnetic resonance elastography (MRE)-derived liver stiffness measurement (LSM) for evaluating patients with stage 2 or higher fibrosis, according to a recent study.

New computed tomography (CT) research in July 2026 ranged from the ongoing impact of AI to significant declines in CT radiation dosing over the past decade to a growing recognition that coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring alone may not be sufficient to convey a true picture of cardiovascular risk stratification.

Offering rapid loading and viewing access for CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET imaging and mammograms, the ImageGrid® StreamVue platform can be integrated into existing PACS environments at hospitals and imaging centers.

Recently presented research with the AI-powered CaRi-Heart software at the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) conference found that assessments of advanced coronary inflammation with the software were linked to significantly higher cardiovascular mortality risks.

In comparison to findings from a similar study in 2014, the national volume computed tomography (CT) dose index (CTDLvol) declined by 9.3 percent, according to newly published research involving 5 million CT exams for over 2.8 million adults in 2025.

In an external test set from a recent study, a combined radiomic/deep learning model for intratumoral computed tomography (CT) threshold segmentation offered an 82.3 percent AUC and 95.4 percent sensitivity for predicting visceral pleural invasion in patients with lung adenocarcinoma < 30 mm.
