Emerging Insights, Research and Trends in Computed Tomography

New computed tomography (CT) research in July 2026 ranged from the ongoing impact of AI to significant declines in CT radiation dosing over the past decade to a growing recognition that coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring alone may not be sufficient to convey a true picture of cardiovascular risk stratification.

There was a considerable wave of provocative research, significant FDA news and emerging trends in the computed tomography (CT) arena in July 2026. With this in mind, we take a look back at key developments in photon-counting CT, CT radiation dosing, AI-related research, the role of coronary inflammation in cardiovascular risk stratification and much more.
