Medical Imaging

Physicians utilize medical imaging to see inside the body to diagnose and treat patients. This includes computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, angiography, and the nuclear imaging modalities of PET and SPECT.

Eye-tracking reveals radiologists' reading habits when utilizing AI support
Rather than test artificial intelligence's ability to detect malignant lesions on imaging, researchers instead recently explored how it impacts radiologists' interpretation processes.
Low-intensity focused ultrasound a noninvasive treatment option for lingering COVID symptoms
New research suggests the technique can effectively break down amyloid fibrinogen microclots, which are believed to interfere with perfusion and cause inflammation.
Rural patients less likely to undergo PET imaging for prostate cancer
Experts suggest possible remedies to this disparity, including mobile PET units or establishing hub-and-spoke care models.
AI enables tracking of coronary artery calcium growth on routine lung cancer CT scans
New data suggest increases in CAC scores between lung cancer screenings strongly correlates with the risk of adverse cardiovascular events.
Most oncologists prefer cancer-specific structured radiology reports
Despite this, not all radiologists are on board with routinely using oncology templates.
