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.

Helium prices spike as war rages on—should MRI providers be worried?
The ramifications of the conflict in the Middle East may soon extend beyond the gas pump and into the healthcare sector, experts are cautioning.
Department of energy partners to bolster domestic radioisotope supply
Gadolinium-153, or Gd-153, is routinely used to calibrate nuclear imaging equipment. It has been in short supply since 2023 when global distribution of the radioisotope came to a halt.
Cardiologists use endovascular device for brain aneurysms to treat high-risk heart patients
A multidisciplinary research team has found a new use for a reliable medical device. Multiple heart patients have already benefited for the group’s outside-the-box thinking.
$Radiologist Michael Morris, MD, radiologist and director of cardiac CT and MRI at Banner Health, explains how cardiac radiology imaging is moving toward expanded use of fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) and artificial intelligence analysis of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) exams as a standard of care. He spoke to Radiology Business during RSNA 2025.$
