  • Newer heart test may not be better

    An expensive CT scan that uses multiple X-rays to produce spectacular 3-D images of the heart can't replace tried-and-true coronary angiography for finding blocked blood vessels in chest-pain patients.

  • Ultrasonography Plus Mammography for Screening

    Mammography decreases mortality for breast cancer of 15-20%, but ultrasonography is capable to reveal tumours that can escape to X-ray (above all in very dense breasts, which are already themselves at a greater cancer risk).
