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.
The all-cash deal is expected to be finalized in April 2026. With this divestment of its ambulatory labs, Tennessee-based Community Health Systems said it will be better able to focus on its core patient care business.
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.
"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.
After experts from one institution evaluated 500 portable chest x-rays completed during the summer of 2021, it was revealed that 46.2% of the images obtained were problematic, requiring the imaging to be repeated.
The biggest news from the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) 2022 meeting was positive late-breaking data on the phase 3 Aurora trial for the flurpiridaz (F-18) PET radiotracer agent.
A new analysis offers a detailed comparison of soft-tissue lymphomas and soft-tissue tumors based on imaging characteristics from MRI scans—an area of study that has not yet been rigorously explored, the authors of the paper indicated.
When combined with artificial intelligence-based noise reduction techniques, new photon-counting CT technology can increase the detection of bone disease while also decreasing radiation exposure.
Authors of the new EJR paper explained that, although most of these tumors present in a similar way—with a lump or localized pain—their origins are wide-ranging and require the use of additional imaging to characterize the lesion.
Bibb Allen, MD, FACR, chief medical officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute, discusses multiple factors involved in the adoption rate of artificial intelligence in radiology.
Experts compared the cortical thickness of three bones—the radius, tibia and second metatarsal—of 200 volunteers who had undergone prior bone mineral density measurements to evaluate the ultrasound method’s accuracy.
