Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can detect coronary vascular changes beyond the capabilities of angiography in pediatric heart transplant recipients, according to a study published July 18 in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.

Twice as many U.S. deaths due to cardiac amyloidosis were reported in 2015 than in 1979, but a study in JAMA Cardiology suggests the disease remains vastly underdiagnosed.

Quantifying myocardial blood flow (MBF) with CT perfusion (CTP) imaging can accurately predict major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). It also showed improved risk stratification in stenosis patients when paired with coronary CT angiography (CTA), according to a recent JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging study.

Patients in Pulaski County, Indiana now have access to quiet, comfortable MR exams thanks to the installation of the Vantage TitanTM / Zen Edition 1.5T from Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. at Pulaski Memorial Hospital.

A quantification of myocardial blood flow using CT perfusion (CTP) imaging was strongly predictive of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and offered additional prognostic ability when added to coronary CT angiography, researchers reported in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has recently started using new Analogic 3D CT machines in a handful of U.S. airports to scan carry-on bags and spot explosives, according to a report published July 23 by CBS.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)'s Clinical Center made a dataset of more than 32,000 annotated lesions identified on CT images representing 4,400 patients available to the public, according to a July 20 release.

In a series of photographs published July 17 in the New York Times, entitled "Darkness at Noon: My Time in Radiation," a 63-year-old photojournalist illustrates his radiation treatment for a rare type of cancer with personal, raw images—all taken with his iPhone.
