Rebecca T. Hahn, MD, Director of Interventional Echocardiography at the Columbia Structural Heart and Valve Center, discusses some of the trends in the growing use of interventional echocardiographic guidance in transcatheter structural heart procedures.

“Results of this case-control study suggest that even for maximum univariate biological differences, deviations between patients with MDD and healthy controls were remarkably small," experts shared in JAMA Psychiatry.

A new analysis offers a detailed comparison of soft-tissue lymphomas and soft-tissue tumors based on imaging characteristics from MRI scans—an area of study that has not yet been rigorously explored, the authors of the paper indicated.

When combined with artificial intelligence-based noise reduction techniques, new photon-counting CT technology can increase the detection of bone disease while also decreasing radiation exposure. 

True positive rates of COVID pneumonia on chest CT are significantly lower in patients who are vaccinated against the virus in comparison to their unvaccinated peers. 

Up to one-third of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia have abnormalities on chest CT 12 months after infection.

A new consensus statement from the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography emphasized the increasing importance of CCTA among interventional cardiologists. It is no longer seen as “a mere diagnostic tool," the group observed. 

Bibb Allen, MD, FACR, chief medical officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute, explains the trend of using AI for the automated detection of stroke on computed tomography (CT) imaging and the need to include radiologists on the stroke care team.
