3D models can improve the visualization of challenging cardiac anatomy in addition to supporting clinical decision-making, education and procedural planning.

Anand Singh, MD, FACR, chair of the Radiology Partners National Quality and Safety Committee, associate director of Mosaic Clinical Technologies, said hospitals should begin by identifying the specific problems they want AI to solve rather than starting with the technology itself.

Hospitals need a management strategy for radiology AI before investing

Radiology departments need to think about long-term management of AI, not just which algorithms may help them currently.

Key things to consider when building the team for your cardiac CT program

Getting nurses and technologists more involved is a smart way to ensure new cardiac CT programs deliver the safest, most effective patient care possible.

Ady Orbach, MD, MSc, MBA, FESC, a cardiologist and multimodality cardiac imager at the Edith Wolfson Medical Center, Holon, Israel, explains the impact of women's hormones on the cardiovascular system and why cardiac imagers should pay attention. The women having chest pain art is by Patrcia Carrascosa, displayed at RSNA 2025.

Hormonal changes a key detail when assessing cardiovascular risk in a female patient

Questions about menopause, oral contraceptive use and hormone replacement therapy should all be part of the conversation when evaluating a woman's cardiovascular health.

Michael Coords, MD, FSCCT, Medical Director of Cardiovascular Imaging, RadNet, a leader with the SCCT Health Policy and Practice Committee Regulatory Task Force, and incoming co-chair of the Health Policy and Practice Committee, explains the use of the hub and spoke model to expand CCTA in emergency departments and outpatient imaging centers.

Hub-and-spoke model expands access to CCTA as the modality continues to gain momentum

“It’s not just about scanning,” one specialist explained. “You need to have everything come together.”

Ed Escott, MD, a former neuroradiologist, professor of radiology, chief of the Division of Neuroradiology, and vice chair for faculty mentoring, development and wellness, Department of Radiology, at the University of Kentucky, retired this summer to pursue a new full-time job of sampling bourbon, writing reviews and taking distillery tours.

His advice to other physicians considering a side business: pursue something you are genuinely interested in and avoid recreating the stress of clinical work.

Purvi Parwani, MD, MPH, FACC, MBBS, cardiologist and assistant professor of medicine, director of the Women’s Heart Health Clinic, Loma Linda University Health, explains evidence that sex specific cut offs for treatment and risk factors in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) metrics may be needed because women often fall out of range in some risk measures for plaque, FFR-CT and stenosis. #SCCT #YesCCT #womenhearthealth

Are sex-specific thresholds needed for coronary CT?

The question is further complicated by possibly needing different thresholds for pregnant, premenopausal, and postmenopausal woman.

Suhny Abbara, MD, FACR, MSCCT, FNASCI, senior associate consultant and professor of radiology, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, and editor of the RSNA journal Radiology, explains some of the advanced in cardiac CT radiologists should be paying attention to.
