CT tube voltage doesn't affect AI FFR-CT analysis

By Erik L. Ridley

An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for estimating fractional flow reserve on coronary CT angiography (FFR-CT) had the same level of performance when used with CT tube voltages of either 100 or 120 kVp, according to research posted online April 30 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

AI model could enable gadolinium-free cardiac MRI

By Erik L. Ridley

Researchers developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that accurately detected chronic myocardial infarction on noncontrast-enhanced cardiac cine MRI, potentially obviating the need for gadolinium-based contrast agents in these patients, according to research published online April 30 in Radiology.

Radiation events prompt FDA notice on Rb-82 generators

By Wayne Forrest

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has bolstered its requirement for safety labels on rubidium-82 (Rb-82) generators for PET studies. The action follows reports of a "serious incident" of excess radiation exposure to patients caused by what the FDA called "user error."

Cardiac MRI flags signs of early heart disease in women

By Kate Madden Yee

The thickness of the coronary wall is a marker for coronary artery disease (CAD) in women, and it can be visualized using MRI -- giving clinicians a potential tool to recognize heart disease in women earlier, according to a study published online April 25 in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.

MRI can be safe for patients with implanted devices

By Wayne Forrest

Multiparametric 1.5-tesla MRI scans can be performed safely for certain prostate cancer patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices, but precautions are warranted, according to a study published in the April issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

AI algorithm identifies pacemaker type on radiographs

By Erik L. Ridley

Artificial intelligence (AI) software can quickly identify cardiac rhythm devices such as pacemakers on x-ray images, which could possibly speed up the diagnosis and treatment of emergent patients with faulty devices, according to research published online March 27 in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology.

PET/MRI offers view to atherosclerotic disease origin

By Wayne Forrest

PET/MRI is providing an avenue for researchers to discover early indications of atherosclerotic disease and inflammation in arterial regions that have not yet developed plaques, which, in turn, lead to heart attack and stroke, according to a study published online March 25 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
