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.

MRIs show how peanut consumption improves the brain's vascular function
Consistently incorporating unsalted peanuts into a person’s diet enhances cerebral blood flow to multiple brain regions.
CCTA will play an essential role in the cath labs of the future
Noninvasive coronary CT angiography is growing more and more important as time goes on, helping cardiologists make critical treatment decisions. Carlos Collet, MD, PhD, discussed the technique's potential to be a real game-changer for patient care in a new interview.
Society of Interventional Radiology urges UHC to update policy on radioembolization treatment
SIR contends that payments toward transarterial radioembolization (TARE)/selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) should extend beyond the current coverage limitations in patients with liver cancer and metastases.
RadNet acquires remote MRI scanning solutions provider Alpha RT
The company offers a suite of services including AI-powered safety monitoring in case something goes wrong in the MRI suite, staffing, training and certification.
Mechanical thrombectomy beats anticoagulation alone in STORM-PE
Highly anticipated trial data comparing mechanical thrombectomy to anticoagulation alone for intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism showed that the more aggressive strategy improved outcomes.

Why point-of-care ultrasound may be radiology’s best bet against COVID

Lung ultrasound can help reduce exposure to staff and patients, and offers important clinical advantages over chest radiography and computed tomography.

FDA gives clearance to portable x-ray system with potential for diagnosing COVID-19

The agency's greenlight offers clinicians a possible first-line tool to gather chest images from patients infected with the virus.

Mayo Clinic partnering with UK tech company on COVID’s cardiac impact

The aim of the collaboration is to map out cardiac irregularities caused by the virus.

Early mammography screening remains key even as breast cancer treatment advances

A new study of more than half a million Swedish women found that early screening reduces the risk of dying from the disease by 41% within a decade of diagnosis.

Imaging a prognostic must-have for elderly COVID-19 patients

Radiology findings are vital aids in the fight against COVID-19, and imaging is all but essential for elderly patients.

AI deftly reclassifies lung nodules for cancer risk

A convolutional neural network trained and internally validated on more than 15,000 lung CT scans has correctly reclassified indeterminate pulmonary nodules into low-risk or high-risk categories.

FDA signs off on AI algorithms for detecting COVID-19 in incidental CT findings

The FDA has permitted the use of Aidoc’s AI models for the detection and prioritization of incidental CT findings associated with COVID-19.

AI researchers set sights on detecting COVID-19 in imaging results

Researchers are hard at work developing new AI algorithms that could help radiologists diagnose COVID-19 patients.
