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.

Scoring system outperforms standard radiology reports for predicting soft tissue tumor malignancy
The Soft-Tissue Tumor Reporting and Data System (ST-RADS) is an MRI framework that was designed to assess the risk of soft tissue tumors and help providers in managing the finding.
Mindfulness improves brain connectivity, MRI data show
Mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques combine meditation, bodily awareness exercises and yoga to temper stress and anxiety.
Stanford Medicine’s Department of Radiology inks partnership with Novartis
They’ll work to accelerate research and development around targets for radioligand imaging across a wide range of oncological applications.
New data on GBCA safety indicate risk of renal complications 'exceedingly low'

Hemp and other plant-based compounds could be future of contrast-enhanced imaging

Experts are working to develop agents they say can enhance imaging studies without the risks associated with traditional contrast media.

State law change allows technologists to administer contrast under remote supervision

The update eliminates the requirement for a physician to be on-site and now allows techs to perform venipuncture and conduct contrast administration under remote supervision.

James Muller, MD, explains advances in vulnerable plaque imaging aim to predict and prevent heart attacks.

Advances in imaging could help predict, prevent heart attacks

Imagers can now identify vulnerable plaques that were once very challenging to find. The next steps include improving the screening process and determining which lesions need to be treated right away.

Imaging offers insight into impact of new Alzheimer's treatment from Eli Lilly

Emerging research provides further evidence that amyloid-removal treatment for Alzheimer’s effectively slows cognitive decline.

Using chest X-rays for triage could reduce lung cancer overdiagnoses

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.

Marcelo Di Carli, MD, editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, chief, Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Department of Radiology, and executive director, Cardiovascular Imaging Program, at Brigham and Women's Hospital, explains why there is rapid growth of PET imaging because of the extra value it brings in detecting microvascular disease.

How PET is transforming cardiac nuclear imaging

"PET has changed the practice of nuclear medicine in general and I think it is going to revitalize the practice of cardiology," Marcelo Di Carli, MD, told Cardiovascular Business. He noted that more practices seem interested in implementing PET than ever before.
