Dr. Hatem Alkadhi joins host Dr. Praveen Ranganath to discuss findings from the European MRCT Registry, focusing on clinically relevant extracardiac findings seen in cardiac imaging. Together, they explore how these incidental findings can influence patient care and the growing role of radiologists in comprehensive cardiovascular imaging.

Dr. Praveen Ranganath is joined by Dr. Moran Drucker Iarovich and Dr. Kate Hanneman to discuss their study on using pectoralis muscle thickness in cardiac MRI as a measure of sarcopenia and its prognostic significance. Together, they explore the potential of opportunistic imaging in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events and the future of integrating these findings into clinical practice.
