Through AI-powered assessment of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) scans, the CaRi-Plaque software may provide improved clarity on the development of coronary plaques and luminal stenosis.

Drs. Charles Liu and Jonathan Russin discuss the benefits and potential of fPACT, the alternative to functional MRI.

The use of ultra-high-resolution photon-counting CT in the evaluation of stable chest pain may significantly reduce follow-up tests and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) procedures, possibly resulting in millions in health-care cost savings, according to a cost-effectiveness analysis presented recently at the European Congress of Radiology.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Shalom Kalnicki, from Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, discusses the disparities minority patients face with cancer screenings and what can be done to increase access during the pandemic.

In a comparative study of staging systems for hepatocellular carcinoma, the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) system offered the highest likelihood ratio (LR) and lowest Akaike information criteria (AIC) for predicting overall survival after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Ultra-high spatial resolution with photon-counting CT facilitated a 33 percent reduction in the assessment of median total plaque volume and a 45 percent higher inter-reader agreement for evaluation of low-attenuation plaque volume in contrast to energy-integrating detector (EID) CT.
