Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) significantly increased the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in comparison to dual-source CT (DSCT) at similar radiation dosing, according to a new study of over 100 children with suspected congenital heart defects.

An interview with two experts to discuss newly released guidance for using standardized MRI protocols for patients with this condition.

In what may be the first comparative study of the polygenic risk score and the computed tomography (CT)-derived coronary artery calcium (CAC) score for assessing coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, researchers found that the CAC score was associated with significant improvements in assessing and stratifying risk for the development of CHD in middle-aged to older adults.

Drs. Charles Liu and Jonathan Russin discuss the benefits and potential of fPACT, the alternative to functional MRI.

In a subgroup analysis of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage who had intraventicular hemorrhage (IVH) growth, researchers found that hypodensities on non-contrast computed tomography (CT) were associated with more than double the risk for greater than 1 mL of expanded IVH (eIVH).

Whether it’s the proverbial “bad penny” case that crashes PACS or the perception that positive computed tomography angiography (CTA) exams for pulmonary arterial clots come in sets of three, suspicions can emerge here and there in radiology.
