Tomorrow in San Diego, thousands will gather to kick off the start of the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session & Expo, which runs from March 14 – 16. Cutting-edge imaging in the cardiology space will be on display throughout the conference, from the late-breaking trials to the educational sessions.
Whether you’ll be in attendance or following from home, you’ll want to pay attention to the results of the PROMISE trial (PROspective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of chest pain) as researchers unveil results from their study comparing anatomic and functional diagnostic testing for chest pain. Also of interest is the work of Adel Allam, MD, from Al-Azhar University in Cairo, and colleagues, who have used CT on mummies to track heart disease across time. For a preview, check out Health Imaging’s past coverage of a paper from Allam et al here.
These topics and a few other imaging-specific highlights are outlined in the slide show below.
