CT finds vasculopathy in heart transplant patients
Vasculopathy in the form of diffuse intimal proliferation is the biggest cause of late death among heart transplant patients. MDCT's sensitivity for detecting intimal thickening, and significant stenosis, make it an excellent choice for screening post-transplant patients, according to researchers from Buenos Aires.

First-pass MR detects subtle ischemia
MRI has gained increasing acceptance for identifying patients with even subtle coronary artery disease (CAD). In a new study from Brazil, researchers found that first-pass MRI can distinguish segments with different degrees of obstructive CAD.

CT mostly outperforms alternatives in penetrating trauma
CT's role in penetrating trauma evaluation has grown rapidly with improving technology. For many such injuries, MDCT is less invasive and more sensitive than the alternatives. Sensitivity concerns remain in a couple of applications, but it's hard to beat CT's unique advantages, including the ability to follow a gunshot wound track to the focus of an organ injury.

Multiple reconstructions needed for accurate MDCT calcium scoring
When it comes to assessing coronary calcium scores on MDCT, scores vary can widely based on the reconstruction interval. In a small study, German researchers found that the "true" individual volume and Agatston scores were, in fact, distributed widely over the range of reconstruction intervals.

CT angiography runs circles around stress testing
Stress testing is commonly used to diagnose coronary artery disease, but has limited diagnostic accuracy. Researchers from Israel sought to assess the additive value of MDCT by comparing 64-slice CT angiography (CTA) to treadmill testing, and found that CTA adds significant information to the diagnosis.
