Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging

Original Research
Cardiac CT
 
 
In this single-center real-world experience of intermediate-term outcomes, it was demonstrated that at a median follow-up of more than 1 year, a positive result at fractional flow reserve (FFR) derived from CT (or FFRCT) analysis was associated with a significantly increased risk of late revascularization and myocardial infarction.

Cardiac MRI
 
 
A free-breathing cardiorespiratory synchronized cine sequence acquires the complete cardiac cycle with adequate spatial, contrast, and temporal resolutions for evaluating ventricular morphology, volume, and function with image quality equivalent to that of the standard of reference breath-hold sequence.

Myocardial Imaging
 
 
In this large cohort including nearly 2000 patients with diabetes, myocardial perfusion PET results provide powerful and incremental prognostic information with appropriate reclassification improvement in 39% of patients with diabetes.

Pulmonary Imaging
 
 
Incorporating semiquantitative fibrotic score from thin-section CT to gender, age, and physiology (GAP) score provides an improved prediction model for survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, especially in early-stage or mild disease.

Vascular Imaging
 
 
The feasibility of 2-minute aortic four-dimensional flow MRI in 68 healthy volunteers and patients from two centers is shown, providing reproducible velocity and wall shear stress indices sensitive to expected aging- and disease-related aortic hemodynamic alterations.
