Take a look back at key research and analysis from the annual Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) conference. Topics ranged from acquisition of CCTA exams and the use of photon-counting CT for CAD assessment prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures to the impact of physician notification of AI-detected coronary plaque on the use of lipid-lowering therapies. Review the slideshow below to see highlighted research updates from the recent SCCT conference.

In the first of a two-part podcast episode, Lauren Nicola, MD, Christoph Wald, MD, PhD, MBA, and Peter Shen discuss current challenges with reimbursement for AI in radiology.
A new study shows that even small plaque volume may be associated with significantly higher risk for cardiovascular events, making the enhanced spatial resolution available with advanced imaging even more critical in risk stratification.
Elevated coronary inflammation, measured with the CCTA-derived and AI-enabled perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) score, was associated with over a 12-fold higher risk for cardiovascular mortality in patients with no diabetes, hypertension, smoking history or obesity, according to new research presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress.

The use of adjunctive AI for pulmonary nodule assessment on chest CT exams led to over a three-minute reduction in median reporting time, according to newly reported research.
New research presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) conference demonstrates that fractional flow reserve (FFR) based off CCTA exams significantly decreases unnecessary invasive coronary angiography (ICA) procedures for patients with stable chest pain and obstructive stenosis.
