Put it in the lords  test shows Promise against heart disease Chicago apr computer enhanced a rays Are snowing Promise in rapidly detecting coronary artery disease in people under 60 without requiring the insertion of tubes or other equipment into the body radiologists said monday. A technique called Ultra fast computed tomography that uses such a rays to detect Calcium in arteries could be highly accurate and Cost effective in detecting coronary artery disease the doctors reported. A Ultra fast it appeared to be Able to Rule out significant coronary artery disease in 100 percent of the cases we studied a said or. Jerome Breen of the Mayo clinic in Rochester Minn. He presented his findings at the 76th annual meeting of the radiological Socie of of North America which began its five a run monday in Chicago. Ultra fast it was performed of 100 patients Ages 23 to 59 who were sent to specialists for coronary angiograms primarily because of symptoms such As Chest pain or Chest tightness that suggested coronary artery disease Breen said. An angiogram requires that an artery usually in the Groin be punctured and a tube threaded up into the Chest arteries that feed the heart. An a Ray Dye is then injected into the heart arteries and a rays Are taken of them. The accuracy of the Ultra fast it was determined by comparing its results to the results of angiograms taken on each of the patients Breen reported. A in every Case in our study if no Calcium was detected on it there was no significant coronary disease seen on the angiogram a Breen said. Significant disease was defined As at least one coronary artery blocked by 50 percent or More. A Ultra fast it is exquisitely sensitive at detecting the presence of Calcium in the arteries a sign of atherosclerotic disease a Breen said. Atherosclerosis is a buildup of Patchy deposits that can clog arteries and May eventually Lead to heart attacks. A detecting Calcium on Ultra fast it does not necessarily mean serious disease but the More severe the calcification the More Likely it is that significant disease is present a he said. Or. Daniel Mark a cardiologist at Duke University medical Center said the test sounds promising but will require further study. A it does not seem to me they be come out with something totally radically new a he said noting that Calcium depos its in arteries have Long been linked with heart disease. Also Many if not most heart patients Are Over 60, when Calcium begins to appear in the arteries As a Normal sign of aging limiting the tests usefulness he said. Because Calcium is increasingly present As elderly people age the researchers limited their study to people under 60, Breen said. He said Ultra fast it is non invasive painless and virtually risk free. The procedure is expected to compete in Cost with conventional heart stress tests and can be performed in a few minutes he said. However he emphasized that his results were preliminary and he said researchers should study More patients before the tests usefulness is  on bomb warning called unfortunate Dumfries Scotland apr a bureaucratic Blunder that delayed the distribution of warning photos about a bomb similar to the one that destroyed pan am flight 103 was a unfortunate a Britain a aviation Security chief testified tuesday. Christopher Harris told a Public inquiry into the dec. 21,1988, disaster that he bore ultimate responsibility for the delay which meant the photographs of the radio cassette player bomb were not received until 17 Days after the bombing that killed 270 people. A i accept it was unfortunate most undesirable a Harris 53, told prosecutor Andrew Hardie. Hardie asked a but not intolerable is that what you Are saying a a that is what i am saying a Harris replied. The inquiry has heard that a Federal aviation authority bulletin about a bomb inside a Toshiba radio cassette player was received by the British department of transport on dec. 8. But reproducing 125 copies of the photograph delayed distribution of the warning and the pictures were not received by airline and Security staff until Jan. 7, 1989. James Jack the transport departments chief aviation Security inspector sent British airports a telex of the warning but planned to follow it with color photographs of the device. Harris told the hearing that Jack had mentioned to him his a a frustration at the time the department was taking to prepare the copies. But Harris did not intervene As this would have been a almost insulting to Jack by implying he could not sort it out himself. Harris said aviation Security had improved since the bombing of flight 103. A i think the whole Tenor of aviation Security not just in this country but All Over the world has a greater strictness and government  the inquiry expected to last into the new year is focusing on the deaths of 259 people on the pan american world airways Boeing 747 and 11 on the ground in Lockerbie and ways to prevent a similar disaster. Scottish investigators have said they Are investigating several Radical palestinian groups but the inquiry is not considering criminal responsibility
