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.

FDA issues recall of Philips interventional imaging system due to safety risks
A communication error within the system can reportedly cause loss of imaging functionality mid-procedure.
FDA-cleared software increases throughput for flurpiridaz back-to-back rest-stress imaging
The new F-18 flurpiridaz radiotracer is expected to help drive cardiac PET growth, but it requires waiting between rest and stress scans. Software from MultiFunctional Imaging can help care teams combat that problem.
A new payer tactic: Using AI to curtail routine radiology claims, after imaging is already delivered
“Unlike [prior authorization], this model does not delay patient care and does not hold members liable to pay for unneeded exams,” writes radiologist Mark Hiatt, MD, MBA.
'Promising' new PET agent for brain metastases put on FDA's Fast Track
Clinical trial results thus far have been promising, representing a significant step forward for the hundreds of thousands of patients affected by brain metastases.
Cardiac imaging pioneer remembered for his joy and enthusiasm
Former American Society of Echocardiography president and well-known cardiac ultrasound pioneer Roberto Lang, MD, died at the age of 73. He helped develop 3D echo technology that is now used by care teams on a daily basis.

The feature effectively allows the ultrasound systems to operate hands-free.

Emergency units often lack 24/7 coverage by radiologists, presenting an opportunity for AI to aid in diagnostics.

There is significant variation from one radiologist to the next in suggesting follow-up head and neck imaging, Harvard experts detailed in AJR.

The procedure is medically necessary, but it also provides scientists insights into the Kemp’s ridley species of sea turtle.

New additions balloon the Scottsdale, Arizona-based radiology practice's total number of locations to 170, spanning 11 states.

$Hip strain injury fracture broken hip$

Current risk assessments are unable to calculate the likelihood of a near-future fracture after a patient breaks their hip.

The newly approved device is much smaller than previous offerings, helping operators capture 3D images during structural heart evaluations.

Eckert & Ziegler and Nucleus RadioPharma have signed an agreement to address the increasing demand for Lu-177 and Ac-225.
