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.

In a second part of a new podcast episode on recently published research on projected radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., offer current perspectives on cardiac CT dosing, AI advances and the importance of teamwork in ensuring appropriate dosing for CT.

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 podcast, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., share their perspectives on recently published research looking at projections for future radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans.

For patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease, the expanded FDA approval of the Exablate Neuro platform allows for the use of MRI-guided focused ultrasound in performing staged bilateral pallidothalamic tractotomy.

Findings from the TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 6 study revealed a 41 percent reduction of the ARIA-E side effect at 24 weeks with the new dosing schedule for the anti-amyloid treatment donanemab-azbt.
