Researchers used cardiac CT data from over 11,000 patients to show that long-term exposure to common urban air pollutants was associated with more advanced coronary atherosclerosis, even at exposure levels below current standards.
In a 200-patient study, photon-counting CT reduced radiation exposure while improving detection of malignant features.
Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute reports improved workflow efficiency and imaging quality after installing the SpotLight Duo cardiovascular and thoracic CT scanner.
A study shows photon-counting detector CT can effectively derive T-scores, serving as a potential tool for opportunistic bone density screening with high concordance to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry results.

A study of over 10,000 non-smokers found that a significant portion had solid lung nodules, challenging the traditional view that non-smokers are at low risk, and suggesting current nodule follow-up guidelines may lead to unnecessary exams in low-risk individuals.
