Bayer is attending October’s European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR) annual meeting in Glasgow and invites attendees to visit its booth to discuss how the Centargo Cardio applications service and Centargo’s cardiac-specific Smart Protocols can support imaging professionals in creating a tailored cardiac CT imaging practice to ensure quality results. The clinical goal for CT […]

Over the past year, Compleo Health has expanded its diagnostic imaging services to include specialised cardiac MRI scans, starting with a single site and now extending to multiple locations across the UK. This growth has allowed us to broaden our expertise, including advanced scanning for patients with pacemakers and other MRI-conditional cardiac devices. Our expansion […]

Royal Brompton Hospital in London, part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, has marked two decades of partnership with Siemens Healthineers with the first UK installation of a Magnetom Cima.X MRI system. The system enables novel heart scanning techniques using diffusion-weighted imaging. One objective of the team’s cardiac diffusion imaging research is to […]

A caretaker from Spalding, Lincolnshire, has become the first patient at Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to benefit from a heart procedure that uses a Philips (Spectranetics) CVX laser system called an excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA), avoiding the need for bypass surgery. Michael Bronze underwent ELCA, which is used to treat stents in […]

Photon-counting CT, described as the biggest breakthrough in CT technology in a decade, has arrived at the John Radcliffe Hospital to support clinical services and research1. The NAEOTOM Alpha overcomes limitations of conventional CT technology, delivering more information in a short time, whilst offering the potential to transform pathways. Research at the Acute Vascular Imaging […]

A project at the University of Manchester to develop a tool for predicting the risk of a cardiovascular event or death in patients who have already suffered a heart attack has received a grant of almost £150,000 from charity Heart Research UK. The project, which will be led by professor of cardiology at Keele University […]

Clinical research studies that look to expand the boundaries of knowledge and healthcare treatments have been given a boost, with a commitment from Canon Medical Systems UK to extend its collaboration by a further five years. The agreement with Clinical Research and Imaging Centre in Bristol (CRICBristol), a venture between the University of Bristol and […]
