Increasing the use of intravascular ultrasound when performing lower-extremity revascularization procedures could limit complications and improve patient outcomes, according to new recommendations from several medical societies.

Himanshu Gupta, MD, says the implementation of FFR-CT at his facility has provided significant value. He and his colleagues are even working to explore additional ways the technology can help them improve patient care. 

GE Healthcare's newest cardiac angiography offering will be on display at TCT 2023 in San Francisco. 

American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) President Stephen Little, MD, says there will be an increasing need for interventional echocardiographers in the near future.

Researchers found that echocardiographers in the cath lab are exposed to high doses of radiation on the right half of their body, especially the waist and lower body. 

New recommendations from the American College of Cardiology detail how intravascular imaging can help clinicians before, during and after PCI procedures. 

Shimadzu Medical Systems USA released the latest version of its Trinias angiography system at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2022 meeting to address radiation concerns and to help improve workflow.
 

To address radiation concerns by interventionalists and to help speed workflows in cath labs, Shimadzu released new AI features and single button push features for table and C-arm movement.
