At Risk For Peripheral Arterial Disease? Simple Quiz Provides Key So You Can Circulate Better
Published September 5, 2008, 4:16 am, Medical News Today
Ten million Americans have peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and research shows that the highest risk populations include African-Americans (twice as likely to develop clogged leg arteries), seniors (12-20 percent develop PAD) and diabetics (one in three who are over the age of 50 develop PAD).
Compiling Multiple CT Scans Simplifies Probe Repositioning During Radiofrequency Ablation
Published September 5, 2008, 4:15 am, Medical News Today
Merging multiple CT images (summation of CT scans) increases the accuracy of probe repositioning during radiofrequency ablation treatments of various lesions, according to a recent study performed at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. "During radiofrequency ablation the probe often needs to be repositioned in order to effectively treat an entire lesion," said John M.
Philips Unveils Dual-Axis Rotational Coronary Angiography Technology
Published September 3, 2008, 5:10 am, Medical News Today
At the European Society of Cardiology, Philips unveiled its latest advance in coronary angiography: XperSwing dual-axis rotational functionality. In a recent study, XperSwing allowed a reduction in the number of X-ray 'runs,' total radiation exposure and contrast medium dose.
The future of non-invasive cardiac imaging
Published September 2, 2008, 7:09 am, EurekAlert!
Imaging has gained attention in many areas of medicine but its relevance and importance in clinical cardiology cannot be underestimated. While chest X-ray and heart radioscopy have been used for many decades, it is the maturation of echocardiography which has propelled non-invasive imaging to the foreground of our diagnostic arsenal in cardiology.
Initial Data Presented On World's First Pacemaker Designed For Safe Use In MRI Machines
Published September 2, 2008, 4:09 am, Medical News Today
Initial safety and efficacy data, presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress, on the Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE:MDT) investigational EnRhythm MRI™ SureScan™ Pacing System show promise for a potential solution for patients receiving their first pacemaker and needing an MRI scan.
Computed Tomography Provides Anatomy - We Need Ischemia!
Published September 1, 2008, 10:09 am, Medical News Today
Cardiac computed tomography has revolutionized cardiac imaging in recent years by providing exquisitely detailed cardiac anatomy, including, but not limited to, coronary anatomy. Non-invasive coronary angiography by computed tomography (CTA) is performed in ever increasing numbers, over 150 000 per year in the United States.
Ongoing Debate: The Future Of Non-Invasive Cardiac Imaging
Published September 1, 2008, 9:09 am, Medical News Today
- It is time that we start focusing again, not on what we CAN image, but on what we NEED to image in order to improve patient diagnosis and outcome - Clinicians are confronted with a fast evolving arsenal of imaging techniques which all claim to be the optimal choice for their clini
New Molecular Imaging Techniques Aim At Detection Of Earliest Steps Of Disease Development And Therapy Response
Published September 1, 2008, 9:09 am, Medical News Today
An emerging discipline of noninvasive cardiac imaging, molecular imaging, has evolved constantly in the last few years and is increasingly being translated from the preclinical to the clinical level.
IAEA Raises Awareness Of Radiation Risks Among Heart Doctors
Published September 1, 2008, 4:11 am, Medical News Today
Patients are not the only ones at risk during cardiac procedures. Doctors performing heart surgery also face health risks, namely to their eyes. The IAEA is helping to raise awareness of threats, through training in radiation protection related to medical uses of X-ray imaging systems.
Ongoing debate: The future of non-invasive cardiac imaging
