“Cardiothoracic imaging continues to evolve, fueled by technical innovations such as dynamic chest radiography, digital tomosynthesis and dark-field radiography," one radiologist said.

Himanshu Gupta, MD, says the implementation of FFR-CT at his facility has provided significant value. He and his colleagues are even working to explore additional ways the technology can help them improve patient care. 

Supply chain disruptions are blamed for the lack of production.

Revisit some of the year's biggest trends in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease. 

“We identified a problem in cardiology,” one cardiologist explained. “Heart imaging has made remarkable progress in recent decades, but the electrics of the heart have eluded us."

Ziad Ali, MD, detailed two studies he presented on coronary intravascular lithotripsy at TCT 2023 in San Francisco.

The company's Verafeye platform was designed to provide imaging guidance during cardiac procedures using advanced catheter sensors and deep learning. 

A hybrid approach may increase the risk of certain adverse events, according to a new meta-analysis focused on long-term outcomes.
