PET/CT Dramatically More Effective at Diagnosing Heart Problems Than SPECT
Results of a study that compares the effectiveness of two heart imaging technologies, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, and coronary-specific Positron Emission Tomography have been presented at the 64th American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session on March 15, 2015, in San Diego. While SPECT scans have been the primary tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease and other heart problem for many years, the use of PET/CT is now increasing. More...29 Mar 2015
Coronary CT Used to Measure a Recreational Athlete's Risk of a Cardiovascular Event
Researchers presented the results of the Measuring Athlete's Risk of Cardiovascular events study at the 2015 European Congress of Radiology in Vienna. More than 90% of exercise-related cardiac arrests occur in men, mostly over the age of 45, as a result of Coronary Artery Disease. More...25 Mar 2015
New Cost-Effective Floor-Mounted DR System Revealed at ECR 2015
A new, scalable and customizable Digital Radiography system has been launched at the 2015 European Congress of Radiology in Vienna. DR systems, unlike Computed Radiography systems, dispense with the need for film cassettes and instead use digital detectors. More...25 Mar 2015
