Do older patients wait longer for CT trauma evaluation?

Tuesday, November 27 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ06-04 | Room S402ABOlder trauma patients tend to wait longer for CT exams than younger patients do, despite presenting with similar types of injuries, researchers have found.

CCTA shows exercise reduces risk of heart disease

Monday, November 26 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSE03-06 | Room N229Individuals who participated in endurance training had significantly fewer plaques on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans and a lower risk of coronary artery disease than individuals who did not regularly exercise, according to a study by researchers from Austria.

Delayed-enhancement CT predicts adverse cardiac events

Monday, November 26 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSE03-04 | Room N229Researchers from Japan discovered that delayed contrast enhancement on CT was an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events in patients with suspected coronary artery disease.
