Experts believe the tool could better inform surveillance strategies in women who have been treated for breast cancer.

Total plaque volume and total plaque burden can help find patients who may be closer to suffering a heart attack than they realize.

Researchers in the U.K. from Newcastle University, University of Leeds, and the University of East Anglia found they could use cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T2 intracardiac blood pool data to create imaging-derived SvO2 (iSvO2) noninvasively.

Advanced imaging may be able to help certain heart patients avoid the risks and discomfort associated with right heart catheterizations.

Which imaging modality is better for evaluating heart patients, PET or SPECT? After years of discussions and debates, the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology is now ready to point to PET as the No. 1 choice. “There are no clinical scenarios or patient subgroups where cardiac PET with myocardial blood flow should be excluded," the group wrote.
