Diagnostic Imaging

Radiologists use diagnostic imaging to non-invasively look inside the body to help determine the causes of an injury or an illness, and confirm a diagnosis. Providers use many imaging modalities to do so, including CT, MRI, X-ray, Ultrasound, PET and more.

Siemens Healthineers' partnership sets sights on point-of-care testing for athletes
On-the-field imaging helps determine if athletes can be treated effectively on-site or whether they might need to be transferred to a medical center for additional care.

Using chest X-rays for triage could reduce lung cancer overdiagnoses

Chest X-rays could be the key to mitigating the issue of overdiagnosis in certain patient populations undergoing lung cancer screening, according to new research.

Seth Baum, MD, FACC, FACPM, FAHA, FNLA, FASPC, Chairman of the Board for the Family Heart Foundation, past president of the American Society for Preventive Cardiology, clinical affiliate professor of biomedical science at Florida Atlantic University, and chief medical officer of Flourish Research, explains why testing for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and elevated Lipoprotein(a) could be critical to identify more patients with elevated risk of cardiac events, but have their LDL well controlled.

Lipoprotein(a) tests could transform patient care—is it time for universal screening?

"Lp(a) represents the most important potential potential paradigm shift in cardiovascular disease prevention that we'll experience over the next five to 10 years," Seth Baum, MD, explained in a new interview.

Experts create AI system that can accurately diagnose osteoporosis using routine X-rays

Experts are optimistic their tool could help providers identify patients who may be at risk of developing osteoporosis sooner.
