Researchers also found that low-dose chest CT detection of emphysema was associated with a 29 percent higher risk of all-cause mortality up to 25 years later, according to a study involving over 9,000 individuals with a history of smoking.

For myocardial extracellular volume quantification, single-phase and dual-phase photon-counting CT provided over 20 percent higher correlation with cardiac MRI in contrast to dual-phase energy-integrating detector CT, according to new research findings.

Offering the capability to convert a non-contrast chest CT into quantitative ventilation perfusion mapping, use of the CT:VQ software allows for additional Category III CPT reimbursement beyond the chest CT.

In a long-term follow-up analysis of the ELCAP CAC score for predicting cardiovascular mortality, over 30 percent of current or former smokers with high ELCAP CAC scoring on low-dose CT suffered cardiovascular disease death within a 25-year period.

The Revolution Vibe computed tomography system reportedly facilitates quality low-dose imaging for cardiac exams in patients with arrhythmias, heavily calcified coronaries and stents.

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.

Nine months after initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), prostate cancer patients with higher myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) — derived from chest contrast-enhanced CT — had over a fourfold higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), according to new research.

Developed by 21 thoracic radiologists, the new international consensus statement addresses appropriate indications, scan acquisition and keys to reporting for the use of chest CT imaging in evaluating for residual lung abnormalities from COVID-19.

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.
