🌟 Quantitative CT methods like FRI are on the verge of becoming an essential part of the toolkit for interstitial lung disease research, but some barriers to mainstream adoption remain. In a recent article published in the European Respiratory Review, Dr. Simon LF Walsh and other members of the Open Source Imaging Consortium (OSIC) (including our CEO, Jan De Backer) provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art of qCT in ILD research and identify key steps in unleashing its full potential to improve the lives of people living with these diseases. #qct #FRI #lunghealth 👇 Read the article here:

Collecting data through research and clinical trials not only helps scientists develop potential therapies, it also helps establish best practices for targeted healthcare and disease management. Learn more about clinical trials for individuals with Becker muscular dystrophy today. https://lnkd.in/e54DEHAg

Re-reviewing all sorts of stuff this week. Today, the topic is interpreting PFTs. In muscle and neuromuscular junction disease, we review this data independently. Here is a nice reference for an approach to looking at the data: https://lnkd.in/gSNQV6qe

UVA Health is advancing myocardial perfusion imaging for suspected coronary artery disease using O15-water PET, a cutting-edge technique in the U.S. This radionuclide tracer enables precise visualization and measurement of myocardial blood flow, aiding in quicker, more accurate diagnoses of conditions like myocardial ischemia and infarction.

🌉 In the first installment of our brand new series, "#ESRBridges", Marc Dewey, MD et al. imagine a world where we could detect coronary artery disease (CAD) in its early development using CT, thus changing the way CAD is diagnosed and treated, as well as improving patient outcomes. Through collaborative efforts between everyone from radiologists and cardiologists to statisticians and engineers, this article lays out how CT can truly build bridges in CAD.
