PET/CT is poised to become a key tool for imaging the coronary arteries – a clinical imaging exam that can reveal early warning signs of fatal conditions when patients present with symptoms of chest pain, experts say. The “hybrid” scan – which combines molecular PET and anatomical CT images – may have its highest potential in visualizing early signs of so-called “perfusion deficits” (regions of obstructed blood flow), said Marcelo Di Carli, MD, a professor of radiology and medicine at Harvard Me

Ever since Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen's discovery of x-rays in 1895 , the field of medical imaging has continued to expand across a multiplicity of applications, and one of the most fascinating is its use as a forensic tool to determine the causes of trauma, both in living and deceased individuals. Forensic radiologists and radiologic technologists apply their expertise to imaging exams -- typically x-ray and CT -- intended to illuminate signs of trauma.
