From Artefact to Composite Signal: An Operational Framework for Gating Instability Management, Escalation, and Education in Cardiac MRI Practice

Giuseppe Scappatura

ECG-based synchronisation is routine in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), yet radiographers frequently encounter persistent gating instability in-bore despite correct electrode preparation. This is commonly attributed to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect, whereby conductive blood flow within the static magnetic field (B0) generates haemodynamically …

Epistemic Authority and Clinical Governance in AI-Integrated Radiography: A Practice-Oriented Narrative Review

Giuseppe Scappatura

Artificial intelligence in radiography reconfigures professional accountability, radiomic data stewardship, and clinical governance obligations across the imaging workflow. This narrative review proposes epistemic authority — the radiographer's accountable role as guarantor of the validity, interpretability, and governance of AI-mediated outputs — as …

CdTe/CZT Detectors in Photon-Counting CT: The Enabling Technology Behind Spectral Imaging

Giuseppe Scappatura

Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) employs CdTe/CZT semiconductor detectors that directly convert X-ray photons into electrical signals while simultaneously recording their energy. This technology eliminates scintillation, improves quantum efficiency, and enables native spectral imaging with ultra-high resolution (<0.25 mm). Quantum Iterative Reconstruction (QIR), …

Congenital Ventricular Diverticulum

Carmelo Massimiliano Rao, Fabiana Lucà, Claudio Franzutti, Giuseppe Scappatura et autres

Herein, we describe a 54-year-old patient with a congenital ventricular diverticulum (CVD), referred to our emergency department for presyncope episodes and multiple re-entrant ventricular tachycardias (VT). Significantly, echocardiographic findings were not clear, and the diagnosis was made by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging …
