Cardio-oncology has emerged as an area of rapid growth in the medical community in recent years, owing in large part to an increasing population of cancer survivors.

Nearly a quarter of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) orders did not align with scoring system guidelines for evaluating potential pulmonary embolism (PE) in the emergency department, according to a single-center study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Catheter-directed therapy (CDT) is being used to treat pulmonary embolism (PE) more and more by healthcare providers, according to new research published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) on April 25 launched the first issue of its newest online journal, Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.

Coronary artery wall thickness—identified on MRI—is an independent indicator for heart disease risk in women, reported authors of a new study published in the inaugural issue of Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging. The findings may serve as an opportunity for early intervention.

Guerbet, a medical imaging company out of Villepinte, France, this week announced it received CE mark approval for its SeQure and DraKon devices, two microcatheters that facilitate the intra-arterial delivery of therapies and embolic materials to peripheral vessels.

“Quantifying facility-level variation in cardiac stress test utilization is important for healthcare systems seeking to improve the efficiency and quality of cardiovascular care,” wrote authors of a recent study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.

A study of nearly 4,000 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has linked blood pressure variability (BPV) between clinic visits to significantly greater progression of coronary atheroma and major adverse events, suggesting BP stability might be an important factor in CAD care.
