Image IQ: 48-year-old Female, Complaint of Seizures

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.

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.

In a recently published review, radiology researchers from the University of Wisconsin discussed the potential and key considerations for applying accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols in the assessment of emergent and urgent conditions.
