An intervention that includes techniques to reduce the amount of radiation from cardiac computed tomography angiography (scanning used to diagnose coronary artery disease) was associated with ...

Cumulative radiation exposure was defined as radiation exposure from testing, including CCTA, nuclear perfusion imaging, and invasive coronary angiography, measured in millisieverts and calculated ...

Cardiac nuclear imaging and computed tomography angiography (CCTA) still have an important role to play in cardiac disease diagnosis, say experts from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

A study of whether use of noninvasive coronary CT angiography (CCTA) can cut down on the use of invasive coronary angiography when making treatment decisions in patients who have undergone previous ...

There is a large degree of variability around the world in the amount of radiation used during diagnostic testing for coronary artery disease, a cross-sectional study shows. When comparing the same ...

Patients who must have their arteries scanned for the plaque that causes heart attacks, in the past, had to undergo two computed tomography (CT) scans – first, a calcium scoring exam, then another CT ...

New ultra-high-resolution CT technology enables excellent image quality and accurate diagnosis of coronary artery disease in high-risk patients, a potentially significant benefit for people previously ...

In 2019, the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), whose mandate is to undertake scientific ...
