An AI-powered automated plaque quantification tool for coronary CT angiography (CCTA) performs on par with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for quantifying heart plaque volume and characterizing plaque.

Climate change's effects -- particularly higher outdoor heat and air pollution -- increase imaging use in the emergency department, especially x-ray and CT.

That old saying, "kill two birds with one stone" (or the less violent version, "feed two birds with one scone") is particularly appropriate for CT imaging these days, as clinicians explore the opportunistic use of the modality. Millions of CT scans are performed each year -- often for lung cancer screening, but also as a first-line test when a patient presents in the emergency room -- and information from these tests can shed light on other conditions.

Incidental discovery of old strokes on head CT imaging offers clinicians an opportunity to put measures to prevent future strokes into place, researchers have found.

Nonphysician practitioners' (NPPs) share of imaging interpretation in office-based medical practices has more than doubled over the past decade, from 2.52% of Medicare imaging studies in 2013 to 5.47% in 2022, according to a Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study.

CT-defined coronary artery calcification (CAC) scores can help predict the occurrence of conditions such as heart attack or stroke in lung cancer patients, researchers have reported.

Functional MRI shows that e-cigarette users perceive the product as equally rewarding as money -- a finding that highlights the addictive potential of vaping, researchers have found.

CT-defined coronary artery calcification (CAC) scores can help predict the occurrence of conditions such as heart attack or stroke in lung cancer patients, German researchers have reported.

Clinical use of imaging equipment accounts for more than 50% of greenhouse gas emissions in the radiology department, with MRI and CT equipment major contributors, researchers have reported.

Diffusion MR imaging suggests that soccer heading may cause more damage to the brain than previously thought, according to study results to be presented at the upcoming RSNA meeting.
