Photon-Counting CT Shows More Post-COVID-19 Lung Damage
A new study has shown that photon-counting detector (PCD) CT technology outperforms conventional CT in detecting subtle damage in the lungs of patients with persistent symptoms of COVID-19. The technology could lead the way to earlier treatment and better outcomes for the growing number of people with COVID-related lung damage, according to researchers. More...05 Dec 2022

Non-Invasive 3D Imaging System Enables Physicians to Identify Origin of Arrhythmias Pre-Procedure
A novel localization device is setting a new standard for planning of ventricular ablation procedures by enabling physicians to noninvasively identify an area of ventricular arrhythmia onset. More...02 Dec 2022

PET Imaging More Effective than Angiogram for Determining Need for Coronary Stents or Bypass Surgery
Researchers have used PET imaging technology to map coronary blood flow and its outcomes – namely, subendocardial ischemia – among patients with heart disease. The new method for determining whether patients with heart disease need coronary stents or bypass surgery is more effective than the angiogram, which is currently used. More...01 Dec 2022

AI Tool Uses CT Scans to Identify Patients at Risk of Reduced Blood Flow to the Heart
A new AI tool that uses CT scans to identify patients at risk of reduced blood flow to the heart could potentially be used in real time during routine patient visits for CT scans to help doctors determine the next step in the treatment plan. More...22 Nov 2022

AI-Outfitted Software Quickly Detects Acute Brain Hemorrhage on Unenhanced CT
A new version of an intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) triage and notification tool now reduces notification fatigue with a near perfect false positive rejection rate and allows medical teams to make faster decisions for improved hemorrhage management. More...11 Nov 2022

Advanced CT System Captures Clearer Images by Detecting and Correcting Motion in the Heart
A premium computed tomography (CT) system with an advanced cardiac motion correction feature enables 6x higher temporal resolution compared to conventional image reconstruction methods by detecting and correcting motion in the heart. More...10 Nov 2022
