In addition to providing higher SNRs in vascular structures and parenchymal organs than energy-integrating detector CT, photon-counting CT enabled an approximately 30 percent reduction in volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) for patients with obesity, according to a new study.

Newly published preclinical research signals a substantial conceptual shift with a potential role of photon-counting CT in targeting specific biological processes.

While a new article raises provocative questions about the capability of photon-counting CT (PCCT) to perhaps replace diagnostic ICA, the real revolution with this modality is going beyond stenosis measurement to a renewed focus on the disease of atherosclerosis.

The use of adjunctive CT bone reading software in women with breast cancer detected between 8 to 22 percent more metastatic lesions for reviewing radiologists and reduced CT interpretation time by 50 percent or more, according to a new study.

Catch up on key neuroradiology news and research from the past month, including recently published studies involving white matter hyperintensity findings on brain MRI, MRI-enhanced amyloid PET and the newly FDA-approved PET agent floretyrosine F18 for glioma imaging.

Magnetic resonance imaging offered a 29 percent higher sensitivity than CT for differentiating liver metastases, but CT provided 12 percent higher sensitivity than MRI for assessing vascular invasion, according to a new 40-study meta-analysis.

Does fractional flow reserve (FFR) or quantitative plaque burden from CCTA provide greater prognostic insight into coronary disease?

While better imaging may reduce the need for additional diagnostic tests, it may also eliminate the reimbursement that comes with those additional tests.

In a study involving over 700 participants who had chest CT and brain MRI, those with diabetes and lower vertebral bone mineral density (vBMD) had a nearly five percent faster total accumulation of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) in comparison to those without diabetes.

Emerging research demonstrates the increasing stability of attenuation on clinically relevant VMIs with photon-counting CT and a redefined role of kV that may have implications for longitudinal quantitative CT.

In the second of a two-part interview, Kalpana Kanal, PhD, and Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, PhD, FAPPM, FACR, discussed future directions for research on CT radiation dosing, including the potential of indication-specific diagnostic reference levels (DRLs).

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.

In the first of a two-part interview, Kalpana Kanal, PhD, and Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, PhD, FAPPM, FACR, discussed recently published research showing significant declines in computed tomography (CT) radiation dosing over the past decade.

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.

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.
