CT perfusion

Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is known to have excellent anatomical imaging, but has lacked the ability for functional assessments, requiring chest pain patients with intermediate stenosis lesions to be sent to the cath lab or nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging. However, recent advances in CCTA image analysis software and the accumulation of supporting clinical data may soon enable CT perfusion imaging and virtual fractional flow reserve-CT (FFR-CT) to become mainstream in the coming years. 

When 64-slice computed tomography (CT) systems were introduced nearly a decade ago, they were purchased in large numbers to upgrade older 16-slice systems and soon became the new standard of care. Soon after that boom period for CT, sales abated due to the economic slowdown and the uncertainty of future reimbursements due to U.S. healthcare reform. This made many hospitals think hard about replacing CT systems as frequently as they had previously, with many extending the service life from five years to 10 or more.

Agfa HealthCare announced that it will introduce the new DR 600 multi-detector, high-productivity, high-throughput direct radiography (DR) solution at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2015 annual meeting, being held Nov. 29-Dec. 4 in Chicago.
