Study quantifies prevalence of noncardiac findings on cardiac MR
Amid concerns as to which physicians should be reading magnetic resonance images, a new study presented at the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) meeting in San Francisco has found almost 10% of cardiac MR scans include important noncardiac findings.

Studies highlight cardiac MR's prognostic potential
SAN FRANCISCO - Cardiac MRI is showing its capabilities as a high-tech crystal ball -- able to predict which heart patients will suffer future adverse events -- in presentations at this week's Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) meeting.

Medicare panel endorses national privileging, Stark changes
The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) is recommending the adoption of standards that would limit who can provide imaging under the U.S. federal health plan. The commission will present its imaging proposals, along with other recommendations such as changes to the Stark law, to Congress in March.

CAD substantially improves MDCT's sensitivity in detecting lung nodules
With multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), radiologists can identify more lung nodules than they could with earlier technology. But with MDCT's increased resolution comes numerous image datasets. However, CAD systems can help radiologists work through the images, and new research confirms that the systems do a better job than a second radiologist in detecting missed nodules.

ACR to pitch Congress on 'designated physician imagers' for Medicare
As a more comprehensive response to spiraling costs fueled by nonradiologist self-referral, the American College of Radiology is proposing that Congress place limits on who can provide imaging to Medicare patients.

IVUS may spot potential "culprits" among coronary calcium deposits
When looking at the many possibilities in an atherosclerotic heart, how can one tell which segment is likely to be the specific source of an acute myocardial infarction? A new study says that indicative patterns are visible with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).

Study compares eight digital x-ray systems in clinical setting
Over a relatively brief time period, the medical imaging industry has seen the development of a number of different x-ray systems with varying approaches to x-ray detection. But do differences in detector technology equate to differences in diagnostic performance? The latest answer from one group of Dutch researchers appears to be a qualified yes.

For now, MRI edges CT in coronary angio race
It won't be the last word in the competition to supplant conventional coronary angiography, but the first published comparison of MRI versus multidetector CT for evaluation of coronary artery stenosis gives the lead to the former.
