Description
Yosef A Cohen leads a nine-author team testing a new heart scan mode for patients with fast or irregular heartbeats in a 2026 study. Standard triggered scans fail when rhythm is erratic, forcing a full-cycle scan with higher dose. The new mode adjusts tube power to body shape throughout the scan. Three hundred twenty patients were sorted by rhythm into the new mode or standard triggering.
The new-mode group had faster hearts and received a higher average dose. Image quality stayed high in both groups, with mean scores near the top of the scale. Shares of usable, diagnostic scans matched between groups. Body weight drove dose far more than scan mode did. The authors see the mode as a workable option for hard-to-scan patients.
