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.

PET holds promise for carotid plaque assessments
PET has already gained significant momentum in recent years. Now, researchers are pointing to another possible use for the popular imaging modality: assessing carotid artery atherosclerosis.
FDA clears RadNet imaging AI solution for detecting neurodegenerative disease

How one hospital more than doubled its lung cancer screening rate
It is estimated that less than 20% of eligible patients in the U.S. adhere to LCS recommendations, despite numerous studies highlighting the exam’s effectiveness.
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.

FDA clears world's first upright cone-beam CT scanner
