We have read with great interest the recent publication by Pagonis C et al., entitled “An in-depth analysis of coronary computed tomography angiography segmental findings in acute spontaneous coronary artery dissection – a prospective multicenter study”.1 In this study, segment-level agreement between coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for the diagnosis of acute spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is analyzed. This study adds value t…

Prognostic value of coronary CTA-based AI plaque quantification in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Coronary artery disease can be concomitantly evaluated as part of the pre-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) CT angiography (CTA). More recently it has been possible to perform quantitative plaque analysis on coronary CT angiography (CCTA). In this study, we aimed to assess the prognostic value of quantitative plaque volumes using Artificial Intelligence Quantified Coronary Plaque Analysis (AI-QCPA) on pre-TAVI CTA.

Optimizing contrast administration in pediatric cardiovascular CT: Safety and technique
Pediatric cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is rapidly becoming a standard diagnostic tool for congenital heart disease imaging due to its effectiveness. This review provides an in-depth look at contrast administration in pediatric cases, focusing on how physiological differences influence the choice, dosage, and delivery of iodinated contrast agents. It underscores the safety considerations of these agents, the role of risk categorization before contrast administration, and the nee…

Early detection is key to breast cancer survival. But nearly half of all women in the U.S. have dense breast tissue, which can make detecting breast cancer difficult with a mammogram. Mayo Clinic researchers found that adding another test, called molecular breast imaging, or MBI, to a 3D mammogram improved the ability to find cancer in dense tissue by more than double.
“A mammogram is an important screening test that has been proven beneficial. …
