Ultrasonic flow ratio is a reliable method for computing fractional flow reserve in assessing coronary stenosis, a study published January 9 in the International Journal of Cardiology found. Researchers led by Cheng Yang from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing found that this novel intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-derived method has excellent concordance with fractional flow ratio, is non-inferior to quantitative flow reserve, and is superior to minimum lumen area.

Incidental pulmonary embolism (iPE) is a common complication in cancer patients and is a key cause of morbidity and mortality. Despite regular CT scans, studies show that cancer-associated iPE is often unreported , resulting in an increased risk of progression and new pulmonary emboli. Given the rising demand for medical imaging in European health systems, how can AI help radiologists manage incidental pathologies such as iPE and ensure patients get timely treatment?
