Researchers with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in Boston, recently made that discovery through a years-long experiment involving tens of thousands of patients. 

CT colonography’s uphill climb may only get steeper, as researchers have achieved 100% accuracy identifying cancers below the surface of colorectal tissue by combining optical coherence tomography with deep learning.

Hospitals and health systems taking the leap into enterprise imaging have some pressing questions to consider, including who controls the imaging data?

With so many gunshot victims requiring some type of imaging, radiologists can play a “pivotal” role in addressing this epidemic of violence, including building a database to better track violence’s aftermath. 

Forty years after physicist Allan Cormack and electrical engineer Godfrey Hounsfield jointly won a Nobel Prize for inventing computed tomography as we know it, the modality continues to generate new or improved uses and iterations. RBJ spoke with several trailblazers who are still plumbing the depths of CT applications.

INFINITT North America, award–winning developer of enterprise image management solutions for healthcare, will be highlighting a next generation, AI-empowered PACS viewer at RSNA 2019.

Those include the company’s cost-conscious Focus 35C Detector and its Dual-Energy imaging application, which uses two filter materials to automatically switch between high- and low-energy exposures. 

Typically, primary care doctors must manually check the EHR to figure out whether a patient is eligible for a screening, but that step often gets lost during the course of a busy day.
