Cardiac CT has been evolving rapidly in recent years. Brian Ghoshhajra, MD, outlined some of the main trends he has seen at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.

Implementing cardiac CT can make a big impact across the service line without reducing the use of other modalities. Ginger Biesbrock, MedAxiom's executive vice president, explained these findings in a new video interview.

Several key trends at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography were outlined by society President Ed Nicol, MD, including AI, reimbursement issue, business management discussions, and a growing interest in cardiac CT leading to record attendance this year.

Marcelo DiCarli, MD, and Rob Beanlands, MD, discussed the long-term value of investing in the development and implementation of AI technologies. 

Some nuclear cardiology labs are still using SPECT systems that are 20-25 years old. Is it time to make an upgrade? 

ASNC President Mouaz Al-Mallah, MD, and ASNC President-elect Larry Phillips, MD, discussed some of the key trends in cardiac molecular imaging at ACC.23. 

Most FDA-cleared AI algorithms are related to radiology and cardiology, meaning radiologists and cardiologists need to make an effort to learn how these technologies work.

There are now more than 520 FDA-cleared AI algorithms and the majority are for radiology and cardiology, raising the question of who is liable if the AI gets something wrong.
