An advanced artificial intelligence technique known as deep learning can predict major adverse cardiac events more accurately than current standard imaging protocols, according to research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2021 Annual Meeting. Utilizing data from a registry of more than 20,000 patients, researchers developed a novel deep learning network that has the potential to provide patients with an individualized prediction of their annualized risk for adverse events.

email article Pediatric cardiac catheterization could be performed with low levels of radiation exposure using one center's "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA) protocol, researchers reported. The strategy employed by Lisa Goto, MD, and colleagues at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York City, resulted in favorable radiation levels across 95 catheterizations in 77 children weighing 20-40 kg (approximately 44-88 lbs): Median fluoroscopy time: 11.9 minutes Total air Kerma product: 38 mGy Dose air product (DAP): 175 µGym 2 2/kg Based on these findings, radiation exposure ...
