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.

Combining PET and MRI data may be key to differentiating new type of dementia
Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy, also known as LATE, was recently recognized as a type of dementia that occurs in older adults. It typically presents as memory-related cognitive decline.
First ACC/AHA acute pulmonary embolism guidelines include new categories for risk stratification
The new guidance, the first of its kind, focuses on the importance of making a prompt diagnosis and providing care as quickly as possible. While some PE patients with mild cases can be discharged early, others may require an immediate catheter-based intervention or surgery.
How second pregnancies change the brain
New imaging findings detail how women’s brains change during their second pregnancy, revealing the unique alterations in networks related to attention and response.
GE HealthCare nabs 3 notable MRI FDA clearances
On Feb. 19, the company announced the clearance of two new MRI systems and one artificial intelligence-enabled workflow platform.
Radiopharmaceutical therapy use has increased 2,000% among Medicare population
Interventional and diagnostic radiologists are leading the way in this surge, accounting for about 45% of IV RPT administrations, according to Medicare Part B claims.
