And as Dr. Florian Wolf explained at today's cardiac imaging sessions at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR), the evaluation of stents for detecting restenosis is critical for patient outcomes.

Competitive strategy can carve out collaborative interventional turf
By Jonathan S. Batchelor
The reason that passions run among radiologists, cardiologists, and vascular surgeons as to which group controls interventional procedures is simple: money. There are currently 70 million people in the U.S. with cardiovascular disease. In addition, cardiovascular disease becomes more prevalent as people grow older, and by 2020 nearly 50% of the U.S. population will be over 50 years old. The U.S. population is getting older and so the need for minimally invasive catheter-based imaging-guided surgery will continue to grow.
