Researchers believe the new method of assessing treatment responses could pave the way for developing new cancer therapeutics.

Clinicians treating COVID-19 patients who have transplanted lungs and lower airway infection should order molecular testing in addition to, or regardless of, imaging findings.

As the population of patients with adult congenital heart disease grows, they are presenting to adult cardiology clinics and being imaged with CT. Many also do not have access or cannot be imaged by MRI, said Renee Bullock-Palmer, MD.

Vaccination rates likely had a role in reducing disease severity during Omicron, a new paper published in Radiology suggests.

The statement was written to fill gaps in recommendations from prior consensus statements and guidelines in regards to the use of CCT in cardio-oncology, including use of calcium scoring and ruling out coronary disease when cardiac function is impaired.

Experts found that compared to the average effective doses of organs, breast doses were higher, representing increased risks of breast cancer for women. 

Prior to the arrival of COVID-19 in early 2020, Canadian patients waited nearly three months for an MRI and more than 11 weeks for a CT. Things have only gotten worse since then.

In this cohort, experts found that just 34% of surgeries were performed on symptomatic patients, which shifted their focus to other potential modes of detection.
