Computer-aided dx breaks through in cardiac CTA
Computer-aided detection software developed especially for coronary CT angiography could boost imagers' ability to rule out clinically relevant stenosis in patients at low to moderate risk of coronary artery disease, according to researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Computer-aided detection software developed especially for coronary CT angiography could boost imagers' ability to rule out clinically relevant stenosis in patients at low to moderate risk of coronary artery disease, according to researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Dr. Joseph Schoepf and colleagues enrolled 59 patients without a history of coronary artery disease who had chest pain or abnormal cardiac blood flow exams. All patients underwent catheter angiography and cardiac CTA with computer-aided detection on either a 64-slice or a second-generation dual-source scanner. The software identified patients at low risk for coronary disease, none of whom were found to have significant stenosis under catheter angiography.
The system helped improve workflow and reduce unnecessary hospital stays, Schoepf said. Results were published online Nov. 6 in European Radiology.
Improving Adherence to Best Practices for Incidental Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms on CT and MRI
November 5th 2024In recent interviews, Eric Rohren, M.D., and Krishna Nallamshetty, M.D., discuss the potential of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) to progress into life-threatening consequences and an emerging AI-powered tool that may bolster adherence to best practice recommendations in radiology reporting of incidental AAA findings on CT and MRI.
