DSCT matches angiography for stenosis detection -- even in fast hearts
Dual-source CT (DSCT) offers diagnostic accuracy comparable to that of invasive coronary angiography when it comes to identifying significant coronary artery stenoses, according to researchers from Germany. To test whether DSCT could match angiography in accuracy, they examined patients with suspected coronary artery disease and found DSCT angiography offered high sensitivity for detecting stenosis.

256-slice perfusion CT equivalent to SPECT for arteriosclerosis detection
A prototype 256-slice multidetector-row CT (MDCT) scanner may be just as accurate as SPECT imaging for detecting atherosclerotic obstructions, according to data presented last week at the 2007 scientific sessions of the American Heart Association (AHA) in Orlando, FL.

MDCT may trump whole-heart cardiac MR for detecting stenosis
ORLANDO, FL - In a head-to-head comparison, multidetector-row CT (MDCT) appears to trump whole-heart magnetic resonance (WH-MR) when it comes to detecting coronary artery stenosis, according to researchers from Belgium. They presented their findings at this week's 2007 scientific sessions of the American Heart Association (AHA).

MRI, x-ray yield comparable sensitivities for RA joint erosion
VIENNA - Radiography and MRI turn in similar sensitivities for assessing joint erosion in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), although MRI may ultimately prove to be the superior modality, according to a presentation Thursday at the European Congress of Rheumatology.

Tibial-talar ratio on x-ray reliably shows ankle alignment
Chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis make it more important to assess the anteroposterior alignment of the ankle, yet more difficult to obtain the needed radiographs. To overcome the inherent challenges, a new study recommends looking at the tibial-talar (TT) ratio.

Adding SPECT to women's workup improves coronary risk assessment
Women with an intermediate or high risk of developing coronary heart disease may benefit from SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging in addition to the standard exercise tolerance tests, according to research presented at the 2005 American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Orlando.
