Single CT scan could diagnose heart disease

HealthImagingNews reports Single CT scan could diagnose heart disease.

"Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston, S.C., developed a dual-source CT scanner technique that enables comprehensive diagnosis of heart disease based on a single CT scan, according a report in the March 4 issue of Circulation.

“This technique could be the long coveted 'one-stop-shop' test that allows us to look at the heart vessels, heart function and heart blood flow with a single CT scan and within a single breath hold,” said U. Joseph Schoepf, MD, associate professor or radiology and cardiology, MUSC.

Awesome.  The diagnostic implications of medical imaging are virtually limitless...
