Hannover Medical School (MHH) held the formal opening and inaugural scientific symposium of its “Total-Body PET Center Lower Saxony” on January 23 at Medical Park Hannover. The event recognized the commissioning of a state-of-the-art total-body PET/CT system, the uMI Panorama GS, from United Imaging, and brought together clinicians and researchers to discuss emerging applications of […]

Disproportionate atherosclerotic burden in the left anterior descending coronary artery in participants without standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors: The multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA)
Standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRF) have been identified for coronary artery disease (CAD) and targeted in primary prevention efforts, resulting in significantly improved outcomes. However, an increasing proportion of individuals present with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the absence of conventionally elevated levels of modifiable risk factors (“SMuRFless”), with significantly worse short-term outcomes. Culprit lesions of the left anterior descending artery (L…

Coronary computed tomography angiography guidance for selective invasive coronary angiography; a prospective registry study
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) offers excellent negative predictive value for coronary artery disease (CAD). In suspected single-vessel disease, invasive coronary angiography (ICA) could be simplified by deferring visualization of the normal coronary artery as identified on CCTA. This ultraselective ICA strategy might reduce procedure time, contrast use, and radiation exposure. This prospective study evaluated the potential benefits of this strategy.

Coronary CTA for SCAD: Promise, pitfalls, and perspective
We thank Çelik and colleagues for their thoughtful comments and engagement with our study evaluating coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) utilization during hospitalizations for spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). We agree that this is an evolving clinical area in which additional evidence is needed to inform best practices. Our original analysis leveraged a nationally representative inpatient database to evaluate contemporary patterns in CCTA utilization during SCAD hospit…

Diagnostic performance of iodine map for differentiating colorectal cancer from benign colorectal wall thickening
Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the third most prevalent cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality [1]. Diagnosis is usually established through colonoscopy, fecal occult blood test, or virtual colonoscopy, either in the presence of symptoms or within the context of screening programs. However, occasionally, CRCs are detected incidentally on computed tomography (CT) scans performed for unrelated clinical indications. CT-detected colorectal wall thickening raises suspicio…
