An accompanying editorial, written by the president of the European Cardiology Society, praised the research as a milestone in the search for non-invasive catheterization
The research described the use of a prototype hybrid imaging device [made by GE Healthcare] which proved for the first time that it was possible to perform non-invasive catheterization more safely and accurately
