Coronary artery disease (CAD) is common in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and may impact transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedural and long-term outcomes. CT coronary angiography (CTA) and CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) are tools used to assess CAD. However, adoption in the TAVR population is hindered by safety concerns with nitroglycerin and beta-blockers. The safety, accuracy, and utility of CTA and FFRCT optimised with these medications for TAVR have not …

Study Reveals High-Frequency CT Reconstruction as A Promising Approach for Liver Metastasis Imaging
by Christos Evangelou, MSc, PhD – Medical Writer and Editor In a recent study, researchers conducted a virtual clinical trial to assess the potential of high-frequency computed tomography (CT) reconstruction to enhance imaging of liver metastases. This novel approach demonstrated superior preservation of crucial tumor features in low-noise conditions compared to standard reconstruction methods.1 Although the benefits of CT reconstruction diminish in the presence of […]
