The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) has appointed Dr. James Min as the new editor in chief of its Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.
Min, who will serve a five-year term as editor in chief, is a SCCT fellow and was president of the society from 2011 to 2012. He also received the SCCT Gold Medal Award in 2017. Currently, he's a professor of radiology and medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and director of the Dalio Institute for Cardiovascular Imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medicine.
The SCCT said Min has also appointed Dr. Todd Villines and Dr. Gudrun Feuchtner as co-executive editors of JCCT. Villines is the current president of SCCT and director of cardiovascular research at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. He is also a professor of medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, also in Bethesda, and is chair of the American College of Cardiology's Imaging Council, the SCCT said. Feuchtner is an associate professor of radiology and vice chair of radiology at the Medical University of Innsbruck in Innsbruck, Austria.
![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
