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 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.

In a new study comparing standard resolution and ultra-high resolution modes for patients undergoing coronary CTA with photon-counting detector CT, researchers found that segment-level sensitivity and accuracy rates for diagnosing coronary artery stenosis were consistently > 89.6 percent.

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.

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.
