Study shows pericardial fat is linked to calcified plaque
By Eric Barnes
Thursday, November 29 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSQ01-09 | Room S502ABPatients with higher levels of pericardial fat are also more likely to have more coronary artery calcium and, hence, greater risk of cardiac events, say researchers from the University of California, San Francisco.

Cardiac CTA incorporates function, motion analysis
By Eric Barnes
Wednesday, November 28 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSM03-05 | Room S502ABA 64-detector-row scanner can deliver anatomic as well as functional information if you follow the lead of Johns Hopkins University researchers, who used the same data for CT angiography (CTA) and cardiac function, motion analysis, and myocardial perfusion information.

ROMICAT II shows CCTA cuts hospital time
By Eric Barnes
Wednesday, November 28 | 8:30 a.m.-8:45 a.m. | VSCA41-01 | Room S502ABThe early use of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndromes shortens the length of hospital stay and reduces time to diagnosis, according to researchers from Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Photon-counting CT improves vulnerable plaque detection
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSE21-02 | Room S403APhoton-counting CT detectors can enhance vulnerable coronary plaque detection and enable differentiation between plaque types, say researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Myocardial disease may explain higher event rates in blacks
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSC02-08 | Room S504ABGenerally higher myocardial measurements may explain the greater prevalence of cardiac events in blacks compared with whites, according to research from the Medical University of South Carolina, Heidelberg University, and three other centers.

Low-attenuation clusters at CT aid in quantifying emphysema in COPD patients
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSC03-01 | Room S404ABLow-attenuating lung regions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients do correlate with the presence of emphysema and spirometric measurements, concluded researchers from Japan.

ECG-gated DSCT angiography cuts dose in atrial fibrillation patients
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 10:30 a.m.-10: 40 a.m. | SSC01-01 | Room S405ABProspective dual-source coronary CT (DSCT) angiography can reduce radiation dose and produce high-quality images even in patients with atrial fibrillation, according to researchers from China.
