Radiologists with Massachusetts General Hospital found that the selective use of cardiac CT and AI-based CAD evaluations could make a significant impact on patient care. 

Using CT to perform coronary artery calcium scoring on symptomatic chest pain patients can deliver significant value, according to a new data published in Radiology. 

Kate Hanneman, MD, explains why many vendors and hospitals want to lower radiology's impact on the environment. "Taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint in healthcare isn’t just an opportunity," she said. "It’s also a responsibility."

Mahadevappa Mahesh, PhD, incoming American Association of Physicists in Medicine president, discusses key developments in the specialty. 

“Cardiothoracic imaging continues to evolve, fueled by technical innovations such as dynamic chest radiography, digital tomosynthesis and dark-field radiography," one radiologist said.

João Cavalcante, MD, spoke at RSNA 2023 about key topics and tried to get more radiologists interested in cardiac imaging.

Rad Partners' Nina Kottler, MD, explains what practices should consider when assessing artificial intelligence solutions in an era where there is little reimbursement.  
 

CCTA has seen rapid adoption and growth over the past two years, and RSNA vendors fed that trend with new product launches.
