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.
Two months after a cluster of cases occurred on a cruise ship, experts are offering insight into how radiologists can help spot the "silent" signs of the deadly virus on imaging.
For the first time, research has identified diaphragmatic dome height measured on chest X-rays as an indicator of what patients’ post-op recovery will look like following surgery for cancer or other lung disorders.
Freestanding EDs demonstrated meaningful operational advantages over hospitals when using an accelerated troponin pathway. This included earlier discharges for low-risk chest pain patients.
The Australia-based company made the announcement on April 12 in a release that described the timing of these AI-assisted solutions as “increasingly important” amid growing workloads and staffing shortages.
Radiologists used an AI tool-building platform to create their model(s), which allows clinicians the opportunity to develop AI models without any prior training in data sciences or computer programming.
The tool’s sensitivity was recorded as 99.1% for abnormal radiographs and 99.8% for critical radiographs—better than two board-certified radiologists who also interpreted the exams.
Has point-of-care ultrasound outpaced hospitals’ capacity to incorporate the technology without anointing any particular specialty its proper guardian? The case could be made.
Christine Seidman, MD, director of the cardiovascular genetics program at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, spoke to us about using genetics to crack the code of cardiovascular disease.
The American Society of Echocardiography released a new guideline document on the comprehensive use of echocardiography in the diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of rheumatic heart disease.
Sean Fain, PhD, vice chair of radiology and research and a professor of radiology, University of Iowa, discusses how long-COVID lung damage can be tracked using xenon (Xe) gas MRI and quantitative CT at RSNA 2022.
Tim Szczykutowicz, PhD, DABR, associate professor of radiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is helping develop a new type of photon-counting CT detector that was shown as a work-in-progress by GE Healthcare at RSNA 2022.
