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.

Company building novel portable stroke MR imaging platform seeks investors
New Zealand-based Wellumio in January announced its expansion into the U.S., laying the groundwork for local clinical trials to test its device.
Breast ultrasound finding may signal invasive cancer, research suggests
Though this finding is relatively uncommon, it is expected that the BI-RADS 6th edition ultrasound lexicon will include it as a feature associated with malignancy.
AI model nearly halves false positive rates for lung cancer CT screenings
Reducing false positives could decrease the frequency of unnecessary procedures, lower the associated costs and also ease patient anxiety concerning CT results.
A robot may soon be handling patients' ultrasounds in a Wisconsin health system
The machine will be operated remotely by a sonographer who has been trained to conduct remote ultrasound exams.
ED pivots to virtual radiology service, slashing CT turnaround times and lengths of stay
Syracuse, New York-based Upstate Medical University had previously relied on rad residents to handle initial reads, with attendings finalizing interpretation in the a.m.

NRC petitioned by patient advocacy group to require reporting of extravasation

The group is advocating for the NRC to treat significant extravasations in the same manner as any other reportable medical event.
