Placing prompts in the electronic health record, reminding primary care physicians of patients’ potential eligibility for lung cancer screening, can increase the use of low-dose CT, according to a new analysis.

Concerning CT findings may be serving as a barrier to treating patients with low-risk pulmonary embolisms in cheaper outpatient settings, according to research published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open.

Philips has developed an AI-powered CT system that increases throughput and improves image quality, all while decreasing patient exposure to ionizing radiation.

The typical chest CT patterns seen in COVID-19 patients were far less frequent in individuals infected with Omicron and in the vaccinated, a retrospective multicenter study from France showed.

Dual source CT scanners can eliminate the need for beta blockers to control heart rates during coronary CTA exams. In turn, this reduces the amount of time it takes to complete such scans, which is of particular interest for chest pain patients in emergency settings, note the authors of a new research paper published March...

The ACC/AHA 2021 Chest Pain Assessment Guidelines boosted coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to a Class 1A level of clinical evidence and helped significantly boost interest in building or expanding cardiac CT programs in the past year. While Cardiac CTA does have a large amount of clinical study support, there are some gaps remaining yet...

An AI tool named “Sybil” was able to forecast both short- and long-term lung cancer risk based on a single low-dose CT (LDCT) scan, researchers reported.

An experimental drug has slowed the rate of decline in memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer’s disease in what is being described as a “historic moment” for dementia treatment.

In a first for Australian health services, children aged one to six are being sought to participate in trials for medication to treat a viral-induced wheeze. Albury Wodonga Health director of paediatrics Dr Mark Norden, said the trial was “ground-breaking” and would help prevent future hospitalisations.

During the past several decades, health care systems have amassed giant stores of patient data through electronic health records, logging, disease-linked genetic aberrations, drug interactions, success rates of cancer therapies and more. Now, doctors and researchers with access to this trove of health information are at an inflection point. Through artificial intelligence, health systems have...
