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.

High-frequency microwave ablation: a better fix for lung malignancies?

A retrospective study reveals the promise of new high-frequency microwave ablation (MWA) technology in treating lung malignancies.

AI IDs brain hemorrhages at high level, bests 2 of 4 radiologists

AI can detect brain hemorrhages in CT scans more accurately than some radiologists, according to new findings published by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

AI earns high marks for evaluating x-rays in ED setting

Deep learning algorithms can be trained to flag suspicious chest x-rays in an emergency department (ED) setting, according to new research published in Radiology.

Marketing efforts push 3D mammography despite lack of evidence they are better for patients

Manufacturers, hospitals, physicians and patient advocates have put significant marketing resources—including millions of dollars—into selling 3D mammograms to women, despite little evidence the modality is better than traditional mammography.

Silent MRI can make brain scans easier for children, clinicians

Using the quiet protocol reduced noise levels and improved imaging success rates compared to conventional MRI, according to authors of a new study published in Academic Radiology.

Researchers examine why women do—or don’t—utilize screening mammography as they age

“A better understanding of how age and comorbid conditions affect mammography use may help target specific populations and improve use of preventive care," wrote Cindy Yuan, MD, PhD, with the University of Chicago’s Department of Radiology, and colleagues.

Radiologists, AI an accurate combination for detecting breast cancer

Working alongside machine learning technology can help radiologists detect more breast cancers, according to new findings published in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging.

AI-powered radiation reduction solution gains FDA clearance
