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.
"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.
Generative artificial intelligence models have shown great potential for improving multiple aspects of the radiology field, but a new analysis cautions that they still require significant oversight.
If left undiagnosed and untreated for a prolonged period, fatty liver disease can progress to more serious conditions, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.
The FDA clearly sees significant potential in a new multi-protein blood test from Prevencio. The company's goal is to gain full approval and get the test in the hands of emergency departments all over the United States.
Tracking tumors inside the body may become easier with the help of a newly developed “in-body GPS” called Remix, developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital.
Tuberculosis (TB) could now be diagnosed in an hour with a new imaging technique guided by glowing bacteria and developed by researchers at Stanford University.
Identifying the amount, location and size of lesions on MRI can predict the risk of progression from an early stage of multiple sclerosis (MS) to an official diagnosis within a year, according to authors of a new Brain and Behavior study.
Advanced imaging techniques have shown great potential in improving diagnosis and treatment of various conditions. But a recent study of patients undergoing breast augmentation surgery showed 3D image simulation did not improve satisfaction post-procedure, though most patients preferred the use of the imaging technique.
A new test that can diagnose chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in living patients with head trauma may pave the way for advances in diagnostic brain imaging, according to a July 18 article published by NPR.
New research published in the British Medical Journal suggests that increasing high resolution imaging scans are contributing to more accidentally discovered abnormalities, or "incidentalomas," which are unrelated to a patient's diagnosis and are often benign.
A recent investigation by Prostate Cancer U.K. has found half of men have been denied MRI scans to detect prostate cancer, according to a recent report by the Daily Mail.
