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.
$Radiologist Michael Morris, MD, radiologist and director of cardiac CT and MRI at Banner Health, explains how cardiac radiology imaging is moving toward expanded use of fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) and artificial intelligence analysis of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) exams as a standard of care. He spoke to Radiology Business during RSNA 2025.$
Radiology embraces FFR-CT and AI plaque analysis as cardiac imaging evolves
The specialty is moving toward expanded use of fractional flow reserve CT and AI analysis of coronary CT angiography exams as a standard of care.
FDA clears portable photon-counting CT scanner
The system is designed for point-of-care settings such as outpatient offices, sports medicine practices and urgent care clinics.

‘Unacceptable’: Ultrasound screening often misses endometrial cancer in Black women

Relying solely on transvaginal ultrasound in this population is often not enough to guide biopsy decision making, University of Washington Medicine oncologists wrote.

Structural MRI shows promise predicting relapse among patients battling opioid addiction

The experimental diagnostic method combines imaging and machine learning to seek patterns in functional connectivity and brain structure data.

New ultrasound imaging material spots blood clots that may lead to deep vein thrombosis

Nanopeptisomes bind to the surface of clots and point directly to where blockages are forming.

Chest CT, perfusion imaging spots pulmonary embolism in 25% of hospitalized COVID patients

Men and smokers were particularly prone to this condition, which, if left untreated, carries an up to 30% mortality rate.

MR elastography a useful gut-check for patients with inflammatory bowel disease

The pilot notched a 100% success rate and may ultimately help patients and doctors decide between medication and surgery.

RSNA, other medical imaging groups launch brain tumor artificial intelligence challenge

Winners of the 10th annual Brain Tumor Segmentation challenge will be recognized at the AI Showcase Theater during RSNA 2021.

Radiology directed mandates required to curb long-term overuse of CT for pulmonary embolisms

Hawaiian researchers found merely recommending providers utilize higher D-dimer requirements wasn't enough to decrease CTPA orders and increase positivity rates.

Annual MRI surveillance of low-risk prostate cancer drops biopsies while preserving life expectancy

NYU imaging experts created a simulation model to determine the most cost-effective method of monitoring the disease.
