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.

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.
Whole-body MRI provider Prenuvo launches annual imaging subscription service
The Redwood City, California-based startup announced the move Monday, with its Core Membership starting at $1,199 annually

Hospital cuts costs and outpatient MRI wait times using sophisticated mathematical models

Dartmouth Engineering and Lahey Hospital believe this is the first study to explore optimal outpatient exam scheduling using flexibilities seen on the inpatient side.

Ultrasound shows new promise for destroying COVID-19, other related coronaviruses

Frequencies between 25 and 100 megahertz damaged the virus' protective shell in under a millisecond, MIT scientists reported.

Why it’s time to reconsider radiologists' role in monitoring adverse contrast reactions

Physicians face a similar risk of injury on their drive to imaging centers as patients receiving contrast for exams, two experts argued in JACR.

For first time, radiologists find correlation between COVID-19 brain MRI and lung CT imaging

With this guidance, clinicians can potentially predict how severely a patient might experience neurological symptoms from the novel coronavirus by looking at chest scans.

Immuno-PET may enhance cancer treatment decisions, predict response to therapy

National Institutes of Health and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center researchers shared their findings in the March issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

MR imaging-first prostate cancer screening program could prevent 1 in 6 deaths

London scientists built a predictive model to estimate number of lives saved and found promising results, they explained recently in JAMA.

Wearable ECG devices detect AFib among older patients, reducing the risk of stroke

The new study, published in JAMA Cardiology, included more than 800 hypertension patients aged 75 years or older.

Nuclear medicine leader calls on physicians to remain ‘vigilant’ patient-first imagers

Pressures from payers and other groups may hamper providers, but ASNC President Randall C. Thompson, MD, said patients must always come first.
