The new research, presented during ARRS 2024 in Boston, suggests CVD risk models may need to include certain findings identified in routine mammograms. 

GE Health and MedStar Health are collaborating with the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and the Next Gen Basketball Players Union (NBGPU)

The goal of the study is to obtain quantitative data on how daily training and competing affect players’ musculoskeletal health. The information will be used to inform training, rest and recovery periods. 

Performing CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) improves the accuracy of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and helps limit unneeded invasive coronary angiography (ICA), according to a new study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions. Heartflow

PAD patients evaluated with HeartFlow's noninvasive FFRCT Analysis technology prior to surgery experienced much better outcomes, including a 63% lower risk of all-cause mortality after five years.

Some believe it could make their jobs easier, while others perceive AI as a threat to their employment, new survey data suggest.

And with the help of deep learning techniques, it provides diagnostic quality imaging.

“These findings emphasize the importance of early recognition of IPV and timely intervention to prevent further harm to the victim,” authors of research published in Academic Radiology cautioned.

Terry Bowers, MD, director of vascular medicine at Beaumont Hospital and national co-chair of the Pulmonary Embolism Research Collaborative (PERC), explains the trend toward creating pulmonary embolism (PE) response teams that include cardiology.

Up to 47% of patients identified as being at high risk of lung cancer after CT screening drag their feet before seeking follow-up care.

7T MRI brain scans can analyze the locus coeruleusan area difficult to visualize on standard scannersof patients with Parkinson’s and progressive supranuclear palsy to identify those most likely to respond to certain treatment strategies.
