MRI may help predict heart disease risk in patients with diabetes
By Amerigo Allegretto
The SCAN-MRI risk score outperformed established risk models.

Representative cardiac MRI strain images and analysis. Images in the two-, four-, and three-chamber views for strain analysis (left) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global early diastolic longitudinal strain rate (eGLSR) curves (right) are shown. (A) Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 37-year-old male participant with diabetes mellitus (DM) without events during follow-up after cardiac MRI. (B) Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 45-year-old male participant with DM who had heart failure hospitalization during follow-up after cardiac MRI. In the left images, blue represents higher myocardial strain (higher absolute values of negative strain), whereas red represents reduced strain. In the curves, blue represents GLS, whereas orange represents eGLSR. The left y-axis denotes GLS (%), the right y-axis represents eGLSR (per second), and the x-axis denotes time (milliseconds). For these strain parameters, a lower absolute value indicates more severe myocardial functional impairment; accordingly, GLS and eGLSR were more impaired in participants with events compared with those without events.

Low muscle density on coronary CT linked to heart risk
By Will Morton

An example of machine learning–based multiorgan body composition assessment (TotalSegmentator V2.0.4, 1.5-mm high-resolution model) in a 63-year-old man with obstructive coronary artery disease and a skeletal muscle attenuation below the median. (A) Transverse, (B) coronal, and (C) sagittal CT images and curved planar reformations of the (D) left, (E) circumflex, and (F) right coronary arteries.

FDG-PET matches MRI in cardiac imaging
By Will Morton
The finding is from a study of multiple PET acquisition techniques and cardiac MRI for measuring left ventricular ejection fraction.
March 20, 2026
Evaluation of gated PET data using Corridor4DM. Delineations of LV borders are shown as end-diastolic (ED) frame in horizontal long axis (HLA), as end-systolic (ES) frame in HLA, as ED frame in vertical long axis (VLA), and as ES frame in VLA. Time–volume curve of LV over different phases is shown with volumetric results.
