A quantitative measure of stress perfusion by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging showed superior ability to predict major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in unselected patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), according to a study published May 7 in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.

What a 52-year-old woman from Omaha, Nebraska thought was a continuous runny nose turned out to be cerebrospinal fluid leaking from her brain, according to a May 9 article from CNN. 

According to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, ultrasound may serve as an advanced imaging modality that reduces the need for additional musculoskeletal MRI examinations.

An expert consensus document published May 2 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology offers recommendations for limiting radiation exposure to both patients and medical personnel during cardiovascular imaging procedures.

MR angiography (MRA) is a relatively new alternative to CT angiography (CTA) for the evaluation of suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) and it even has one major advantage over CTA: it does not expose patients to ionizing radiation.

In recognition of the increased use of ionizing radiation-based cardiovascular imaging, the American College of Cardiology released a new expert document outlining best practices for minimizing exposure to patients and clinicians.

Machine learning in cardiovascular CT has the potential to improve disease diagnosis and predictive models, according to the authors of a new paper, but limitations with its applications still remain.
