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.

Contrast-enhanced supplemental imaging triggers anxiety for many women
Authors of a new paper contend their findings could be beneficial in adapting public messaging related to supplemental imaging to better inform those who may need it.
Specialized ultrasound technique reduces need for breast biopsies by 25%
Ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (US-DOT) is a technique that combines the use of ultrasound with near-infrared light to create 3D pictures of tissues.
State partnership dramatically improves follow-up adherence after interventional procedures
The goal was to turn imaging surveillance into a routine part of post-surgical care, rather than an optional step.
STEMI cases bring high doses of radiation to the cath lab
“We're so focused on quickly taking care of the patient ... we may be forgetting about radiation safety,” one researcher explained.
FDA clears first-of-its-kind comprehensive AI triage solution from Aidoc
The solution combines 11 newly cleared indications and three previously cleared indications into a single workflow.

Current imaging AI systems can be repurposed to address future pandemics, study asserts

Experts say these new findings represent “a significant advancement in the field of radiology."

Prominent organizations endorse new contrast-enhanced ultrasound curriculum and training

The endorsement follows recent program updates, implemented following an expansion to the Scope of Practice and Clinical Standards for the Diagnostic Medical Sonographer.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted UltraSight an expansion of its Echo Stewardship Platform compatibility with additional ultrasound system types. This enables deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) guidance for focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) across an entire healthcare system without the need to buy new ultrasound systems. The move enables health systems to expand use of the AI on compatible equipment they already own, including handheld, laptop and cart-based systems.

FDA clears expanded use of AI that helps novice users perform echo exams

This update helps health systems get more value out of UltraSight's advanced AI technology—all without buying brand new ultrasound equipment.

ASE president outlines need to lead on AI, sustain echo workforce

ASE President David Wiener, MD, discussed his goals for 2026 in a new video interview. "The imager who doesn't use artificial intelligence will be replaced by the imager who does,” he said.

Robotic-assisted RFAs yield better outcomes during lung tumor ablations

Robotic-assisted navigation improves accuracy, halves radiation dose during interventional procedures

Often integrated with artificial intelligence, these systems have been shown to improve accuracy and reproducibility during IR care.

FDA approves new stent for deep venous disease

According to Gore, the newly approved device was built with conformability, strength and fracture resistance in mind.

Lantheus completes sale of SPECT business

Lantheus has signaled that the decision to sell its SPECT business will allow the company to focus more on growing its portfolio of PET radiodiagnostics and microbubbles.
