Use of the AI-powered Salix Coronary Plaque module, which offers detection of high-risk plaque within 10 minutes based off of CCTA scans, will reportedly qualify for $950 in Category 1 CPT reimbursement in 2026.

In addition to facilitating centralized scanning for a variety of imaging, the TechLive system may help ease the strain of technologist shortages and broaden access to advanced imaging exams.

In a prospective study involving nearly 100 patients with Long Covid, 57 percent of patients had PET/MRI abnormalities and 90 percent of the cohort had abnormalities on dual-energy CT scans.

The dose length product (DLP) for the flash mode on a dual-source photon-counting CT system was less than a third of that for the spiral mode, according to a study of CTA findings for 1,000 patients presented at the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) conference.

For patients who had coronary CTA for acute chest pain, emerging research found no significant association between plaque burden grades with CAD-RADS 2.0 and cardiac events.

For pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, new research showed that cardiac PCCT yielded comparable signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise ratios to energy-integrating detector CT at over a 43 percent lower dose length product.

In a new study comparing standard resolution and ultra-high resolution modes for patients undergoing coronary CTA with photon-counting detector CT, researchers found that segment-level sensitivity and accuracy rates for diagnosing coronary artery stenosis were consistently > 89.6 percent.

The AI-powered Viz Subdural Plus reportedly provides automated measurements and labeling of subdural collections, including subdural hemorrhages (SDHs), based on non-contrast CT scans.

Emphasizing increasing recognition of the capability of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for the evaluation of acute and stable chest pain, this author defuses common misperceptions and reviews key considerations for implementation of a CCTA program.
