Hybrid imaging with coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and single photon emission CT (SPECT) can provide powerful prognostic value for patients being evaluated for coronary artery disease, according to a single-center study published online July 3 in Radiology.

Johns Hopkins University researchers have developed image analysis and machine learning tools to detect age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a study published in the May 2018 issue of Nature Medicine.

Jimmie Taggart, 59, visited the clinic at North Mississippi Medical Center in West Point for back pain that CT confirmed to be kidney stones. But the real trouble came when he received a $4,051 bill in the mail after the hospital said his insurance would cover the scan.

Two neurologists from Stanford University believe their specialty must take the lead on ensuring patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have access to MRI when necessary.

Researchers involved in a national multi-year, multi-center project are challenging the U.S. Department of Energy's supercomputers while analyzing brain imaging data via artificial intelligence (AI) to improve treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to a July 3 release.

Recent research has shown MRIs are safe for patients with implantable cardiac devices such as pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators. However, according to a recent analysis published by Radiology, there’s still a lot of information for radiologists, cardiologists and electrophysiologists to know about this important topic

Patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) monitored with either cardiac MR (CMR) or angiography demonstrated no difference in impact rates over three years, according to a recent JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging study.

CMS announced a new proposal for home health agencies to receive reimbursement for remote patient monitoring—a first for Medicare/Medicaid patients. In a July 2 release, the agency outlined larger plans to update home health prospective payment rates.

Human stem cells helped restore left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in monkeys induced with experimental heart failure, giving scientists hope a similar treatment could work in humans following myocardial infarction.
