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.

AI turns low-quality MRI scans into helpful heart images
A team of biomedical engineers, radiologists and cardiologists has developed a new AI model capable of restoring low-quality cardiac MRI scans.
New AI-enabled, helium-free MRI system earns FDA clearance
The scanner requires just 0.7 liters of liquid helium for cooling—a fraction of the more than 1,500 liters standard systems need to operate safely.
How the shape, size and location of calcified carotid plaques affect stroke risk
A new analysis provides further insight into factors affecting plaque stability and subsequent ischemic events
FDA approves expanded use of PET imaging agent
The product's updated indications include quantification and long-term monitoring of amyloid plaques on imaging.
Low dose GBCA effective, safe for pediatric imaging
Although gadopiclenol is approved for adults and children ages 2 and older, there is limited data on its use in the pediatric population.

Harvard researchers use powerful 7T MRI to fill in details, root out progression of MS

"The 7T MRI scanner affords us new ways of viewing areas of damage in neurologic diseases such as MS that were not well seen using 3T MRI; it's capturing nuances that we would otherwise miss," said study co-author Jonathan Zurawski.

New ‘metamaterial’ can make MRI scans safer and cheaper

Not only can the metamaterial boost signal-to-noise ratio 10-fold, but It can reduce scan times, potentially making the modality more widely available for patients at lower costs.

AI-powered imaging solution from Hologic gains FDA approval

Hologic has received FDA approval of its AI-based solution designed to speed up interpretation times for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) exams.

Could AI keep medical students away from radiology?

Medical students see AI technologies as a considerable threat to the future of radiology, according to a new study published in the European Journal of Radiology.

AI improves radiologist accuracy, reduces false-positive findings

AI-powered software can help radiologists identify malignant lung cancers with improved accuracy, according to new research published in Radiology.

Physicians release new tool to help radiologists spot, treat vaping-related lung illness

The CDC has tallied more than 2,000 cases of the illness across the U.S. so far, including 39 deaths.
