Toshiba adds 64-slice CT

Prior COVID-19 infection was associated with a 28 percent higher progression of total percent atheroma volume (PAV) annually and over a 5 percent higher incidence of high-risk plaque in patients with coronary artery lesions, according to CCTA findings from a new study.

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

A predictive model for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) recurrence, based on clinical parameters and CT findings, demonstrated an 85.2 percent AUC and 83.3 percent sensitivity rate, according to external validation testing in a new study.

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.

For patients with newly diagnosed obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), a multimodal machine learning model offered an 86 percent AUC for predicting MACE, which was 10 percent higher than CCTA alone and over 35 percent higher than the Framingham Risk Score.

For patients previously assessed with LI-RADS LR-4 and LR-M presentations based on MRI or CT findings, the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound led to 30 percent of these patients having LR-5 assessments definitive for hepatocellular carcinoma.
