The new device, which provides users with real-time images in full color, is now approved by the FDA to be used in the peripheral vasculature. Meanwhile, first-in-human data published in Stroke explored its potential in the cerebral vasculature. 

The newly cleared CARA System from Cara Medical was designed to help clinicians before and during a variety of cardiac procedures. It provides a personalized 3D map of the patient's cardiac conduction system and then overlays that map onto live fluoroscopic images.

Newer imaging technologies designed to use less radiation have made a considerable impact. In parts of the world where those systems have not yet been implemented, however, radiation dose levels remain quite high. 

Patients electing to undergo a whole-body MRI at one Florida facility are now able to undergo a CCTA exam at the same time. All results are interpreted by a cardiologist, and the patient meets with a physician for a one-on-one consultation.

The new SmartHeart technology automates 14 cardiac views in less than 30 seconds. It was designed to increase productivity and bring more consistency to cardiology and radiology departments.

The introduction of a 3D pediatric transesophegeal echo probe is having a major impact on how these pediatric congenital heart patients are being treated.

Researchers found that their advanced machine learning model consistently outperformed current risk stratification techniques.

Nearly 40 healthcare organizations signed a letter in support of the bipartisan legislation, noting that Medicare's “efficiency adjustment” decreases reimbursement during a challenging time for physicians.
