The Year in Hungarian Cardiology 2024: Cardiac Imaging : From cauliflower to radiomics

Hungarian researchers published the results of 25 investigations in peer-reviewed international journals in 2024, with an overwhelming majority of these papers published in Q1-ranking journals. New achievements in echocardiography were published, including 3D echocardiography, myocardial work, and strain analysis. Radiomics has been implemented in cardiac magnetic resonance studies. Still, the performance analysis of a novel magnetic resonance sequence and the result of an MR-derived strain analysis have also been published. 2024 was the year of photon counting CT in Hungarian imaging, but other interesting cardiac CT-related results have also been revealed related to coronary artery disease, aortic stenosis, and thromboembolic risk estimation.
