Why are some CCTA scans ineligible for FFR-CT analysis?
By Abraham Kim
A significant proportion of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans has been deemed ineligible for analysis with fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) in recent studies. An international team of researchers investigated the underlying causes behind this issue in an article published online July 23 in Radiology.

CT CAC linked to cardiovascular mortality in young adults
By Abraham Kim
Positive scores on CT coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans were strongly associated with an increased risk of heart disease and all-cause mortality in young adults in a new study, published online July 19 in JAMA Network Open. CT CAC testing could help direct these individuals to preventive therapy, researchers say.
