Radiologists can win the battle for coronary CTA
Our April 11 story on the difficulties radiologists face in their heart-to-heart imaging competition with cardiologists brought a vigorous rebuttal from a leading academic radiologist. In dueling editorials on cardiac imaging, Dr. David C. Levin calls Dr. Gabriel P. Krestin's views unnecessarily pessimistic, and says radiology has inherent advantages that will ensure it a big piece of the imaging pie. Then Krestin weighs in with a response of his own.

Concentrated iodine permits lower volumes in cardiac CTA
By Eric Barnes
Cardiac CT can be performed successfully with lower contrast volumes and flow rates when contrast agents are more concentrated, according to a new study. Researchers in Germany reported that 16-slice cardiac CT angiography (CTA) produced equivalent opacification compared to the use of a less-concentrated agent and higher volumes.
