We found that short-term exposures to higher ambient temperature and worse PM2.5 air pollution are associated with increased medical imaging utilization
Great to be part of #ESCR2026 in Rotterdam! Honored to present on AI in cardiac imaging, technological advances, and sustainability. Wonderful to reconnect with friends and colleagues from around the world! @EscrOffice@mergen_v@JordiBroncano@TilmanEmrich@UofTMedIm
Special news to share! I’m incredibly honored to be named a candidate for an at-large director position on the @RSNA Board. RSNA has played such an important role in my professional journey, and I’m tremendously grateful for the opportunity to give back!

🚨 A new episode of the @radiology_rsna podcast is now available! 🚨 @rnicola04 and @KateHanneman discuss how long-term air pollution exposure may contribute to coronary atherosclerosis and what cardiac CT reveals about cardiovascular risk. bit.ly/4vYv1WW
🎙️ How much can the air we breathe affect heart health?
@rnicola04 and @KateHanneman discuss the link between long-term air pollution exposure and coronary atherosclerosis, and what cardiac CT can reveal about cardiovascular risk. 👇

Toronto’s air quality is currently among the worst in the world due to wildfire smoke.
Air pollution isn’t just a respiratory issue. It also affects the heart. Children and older adults are at increased risk.
On days like today, limit outdoor activity and keep windows closed.
Wildfire smoke is affecting air quality across Toronto. People with heart or lung conditions, older adults and young children may be more affected.
If you experience severe symptoms or trouble breathing, seek medical attention.

Wonderful trip to San Diego for #SCCT2026 ☀️ A highlight was “Cardiac CT at a Crossroads,” exploring how access, equity, patient experience, workforce well-being, sustainability, and global collaboration will shape the field. Great science, discussion, and community! @Heart_SCCT
Passion for #yesCCT, outstanding care for patients & paradigm-changing research, all with humility & grace: no amount of gratitude can describe how indebted countless fellows feel for the inspirational mentor extraordinaire @RonBlankstein - TY #SCCT2026 for the priceless moments!
“Burnout is not a personal failure,” says @ChinnaiyanMD at #SCCT2026. The more we try to hide it, the more pervasive it becomes and the less likely systems are to change. Burnout is not a wellness problem, but a “workforce problem,” she adds.
Up to 50% of imaging programs in the US leave scanners on overnight in a ready-to-scan mode. By focusing on powering down, the field can have a significantly lower environmental footprint, argues @KateHanneman at #SCCT2026
A machine learning model trained on 33 variables (clinical, genetic, and imaging) in 604 HCM patients performed comparably to the ESC risk score (C-index 0.75). #WhyCMR features were key predictors, including apical aneurysm, LV volumes, extensive LGE and T1 mapping ⬇️
Different outcomes (MACE, NSVT, and AF) had distinct top predictors, emphasizing phenotype-specific risk and the value of #WhyCMR in #HCM risk stratification.
With thanks to @HunainShiwani for the thoughtful accompanying editorial 📄 pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ry…
Grateful to participate in the first @SiemensHealth Clinical Summit in Munich and present alongside Amira Romani on sustainable imaging and planetary health in a keynote on innovation driven by purpose 🌎
