SPECT/CT algorithm predicts heart failure hospitalizations
This study represents the first evidence, to our knowledge, demonstrating that integrating SPECT MPI into an AI-based risk assessment algorithm significantly improves the prediction of hospitalizations due to [heart failure],” the group wrote. The research was published March 28 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.Heart failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and worldwide, with prevalence projected to increase by almost 50% from 2012 to 2030, the authors wrote. They noted that identifying patients who are at risk for heart failure exacerbation can open opportunities for prevention strateg...

World's most powerful MRI produces unseen images of human brain
The world's most powerful MRI scanner, Iseult, located in France's Plateau de Saclay, has captured its first images of human brains. With an 11.7 tesla magnetic field, ten times more powerful than hospital MRIs, it reveals unprecedented detail, potentially advancing brain research and treatment for diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. While not for clinical use yet, its insights may inform future medical practices. (Source: The Economic Times)

Cardiac MRI shows factors contributing to higher trabeculated LV mass
Cardiac MRI shows that higher body mass index, hypertension, and higher physical activity level are associated with higher trabeculated left ventricular (LV) mass, researchers have reported.
And although higher trabeculated left ventricular mass is not "in itself pathologic," it bears tracking, wrote a team led by Nay Aung, MD, of Queen Mary University of London in the U.K. The study findings were published April 2 in Radiology.
"Future studies should evaluate the long-term impact of cardiovascular risk factors on changes in trabecular architecture and subsequent prognostic implications in both individuals with healthy h...

Why These Passengers Are Flying up to 30 Hours to See Four Minutes of the Eclipse
Millions of eager stargazers are gearing up for the total solar eclipse that will be visible from Texas to Maine on April 8. But while most people are making plans to be on the ground for the spectacle, a smaller group of enthusiasts are hoping to find an even better view—from 30,000 feet in the air.
“Typically you’re on the ground looking up and hoping there won’t be any clouds,” says Do Trinh, an IT risk consultant in Amsterdam. “Wouldn’t it be cool to experience the eclipse from the sky?”

Microwave ablation on par with surgery for thyroid cancer survival
Microwave ablation may be a suitable alternative to surgical resection when it comes to ultrasound-detected thyroid cancer, a study published April 2 in Radiology found.
Researchers led by Zhen-Long Zhao, MD, from China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing found no significant difference in progression-free survival rates between patients receiving ablation or surgery. Additionally, microwave ablation led to less blood loss, shorter incision length, and shorter procedure and hospitalization durations.
“Microwave ablation is a feasible option for selected patients with multifocal T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma,” Z...
