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.

New iron-based imaging agent significantly improves brain tumor visualization
Ferumoxytol is used primarily in medications that treat anemia, but the FDA recently cleared it for deployment in brain imaging as well.
AI reduces readers' kidney lesion interpretation times by over 30%
The tool also can be used on contrasted abdominal scans completed for other clinical indications, addressing suspicious lesions before they worsen.
Nvidia sees major shift in radiology to AI agents and new autonomous imaging systems
“Physical AI agents being able to actually deliver some of these services—all the way into robotic surgery—this is where we're going to see this next chapter of medicine be written,” said Kimberly Powell, vice president and general manager of healthcare at Nvidia.
Scoring system outperforms standard radiology reports for predicting soft tissue tumor malignancy
The Soft-Tissue Tumor Reporting and Data System (ST-RADS) is an MRI framework that was designed to assess the risk of soft tissue tumors and help providers in managing the finding.
Mindfulness improves brain connectivity, MRI data show
Mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques combine meditation, bodily awareness exercises and yoga to temper stress and anxiety.

Mix of advanced imaging, AI accurately IDs brain tumors

Researchers have found a new technique for brain tumor image classification that combines advanced optical imaging with AI and published their findings in Nature Medicine.

PET tracer can help fight heart attacks earlier in the process

Researchers may improve heart attack outcomes by zeroing in on the cellular activity that causes long-lasting damage to the heart.

Proton therapy reduces risk of severe side effects in cancer patients compared to radiation

“This is exciting because it shows that proton therapy offers a way for us to reduce the serious side effects of chemo-radiation and improve patient health and well-being without sacrificing the effectiveness of the therapy,” experts wrote in a recent JAMA Oncology study.

Tau PET imaging beats amyloid-based approach in battle against Alzheimer’s

Amyloid plaques have long been the target of Alzheimer’s-focused research, but a new study suggests it may be time to prioritize tau imaging instead.

Affidea, Subtle Medical bring AI collaboration to Italy

Affidea, a European healthcare provider with more than 240 locations, announced it is now implementing Subtle Medical’s SubtlePET solution in its PET-CT center in Italy.

Google's AI model outperforms radiologists in breast cancer detection, prediction

Deep-learning based AI models can identify breast cancer more accurately than radiologists, according to new research published in Nature. What does this mean for the future of cancer detection?

FDA approves PET imaging agent to fight Parkinson’s

The go-ahead was granted to the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research to use Fluorodopa F-18 injections in patients with suspected Parkinson’s syndromes.

How AI could limit gadolinium use when treating MS

Deep learning (DL) can predict and enhance MS lesions on unenhanced MRI scans, according to a new study published in Radiology.
