FDA clears intravascular imaging tech | Key trends in cardiac CT | Heartflow sues rival | Opportunistic screening

Conavi Medical's new hybrid imaging system simultaneously performs IVUS and OCT.

As CCTA sees rapid adoption across cardiology, SCCT is working to address the education required to sustain the expansion.

According to Heartflow, Cleerly's actions represent “one of the most egregious examples of piracy in the medical technology industry.” Cleerly commented on the lawsuit, defending the value and integrity of its products. 

“Technology grows and grows,” as one lab director explained. “Our job is to keep up with it and use it in the most efficient and effective way.”

As TAVR continues to gain popularity, researchers remain focused on discovering new ways to predict short- and long-term outcomes. One recent study, for example, explored the potential of AI-enabled imaging assessments. Another analysis focused on the CALLY index.

Ultreon 3.0 was built to capture and evaluate OCT images, providing real-time guidance during complex PCI procedures.

The combination of OCT and MRI can help provide an improved sense of clarity when managing MINOCA patients, according to new data presented at ACC.26 in New Orleans.

AI can help care teams get additional value out of routine head CT images.

Researchers reviewed dozens of studies to evaluate the long-term value of using CCTA guidance to perform PCI on patients with complete blockages.
