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.

MRIs show how peanut consumption improves the brain's vascular function
Consistently incorporating unsalted peanuts into a person’s diet enhances cerebral blood flow to multiple brain regions.
CCTA will play an essential role in the cath labs of the future
Noninvasive coronary CT angiography is growing more and more important as time goes on, helping cardiologists make critical treatment decisions. Carlos Collet, MD, PhD, discussed the technique's potential to be a real game-changer for patient care in a new interview.
Society of Interventional Radiology urges UHC to update policy on radioembolization treatment
SIR contends that payments toward transarterial radioembolization (TARE)/selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) should extend beyond the current coverage limitations in patients with liver cancer and metastases.
RadNet acquires remote MRI scanning solutions provider Alpha RT
The company offers a suite of services including AI-powered safety monitoring in case something goes wrong in the MRI suite, staffing, training and certification.
Mechanical thrombectomy beats anticoagulation alone in STORM-PE
Highly anticipated trial data comparing mechanical thrombectomy to anticoagulation alone for intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism showed that the more aggressive strategy improved outcomes.

Can scatter correction software replace physical grids?

The clinical application of scatter correction software is limited by numerous factors, according to a new analysis.

Long-term lung cancer survival rates see a 'dramatic' boost thanks to early detection initiatives

When lung cancer is caught in its early stages, long-term survival rates can reach 80% and higher, according to a new large-scale, 20-year international study presented at this year's RSNA meeting.

FDG PET/CT spots COVID-induced pancreatitis

There are limited data to determine whether pancreatitis in COVID patients is the result of a stress response triggered by severe illness or by direct damage to the β-cell structure and function.

Ultra-high-res MRI Reveals Migraine Brain Changes

7T MRI scans provide a high-res look at how migraines affect the brain

In a new analysis, scheduled to be presented at RSNA 2022 in Chicago, researchers have identified enlarged perivascular spaces in the brains of migraine patients. This may be suggestive of waste clearance issues in the central nervous system.

New partnership seeks to streamline AI integration into lung cancer screening

A new partnership between Sirona Medical and RevealDX could streamline the process of AI integration into the clinical practice of lung nodule assessments.

Experts ID imaging biomarkers in kids with ADHD

The study's authors explained how MRI results can be used to help identify children with ADHD—and how these findings could be used in the AI algorithms of tomorrow. The team will be presenting its findings at RSNA 2022 in Chicago.

Caught early, lung cancer has 80% overall survivability at 20 years—100% for some tumor types—yet few individuals avail themselves of LDCT screening

New findings to be presented at RSNA confirm that lung cancer is highly curable as long as it’s diagnosed early, as is often the case with low-dose CT screenings.

Canadian radiologists push federal lawmakers to deal with ‘devastating impact’ of long waits for medical imaging

Radiologists from across Canada descended on Parliament Hill in Ottawa earlier this month to voice pressing concerns on behalf of medical-imaging patients and professionals.
