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.

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.
Stanford Medicine’s Department of Radiology inks partnership with Novartis
They’ll work to accelerate research and development around targets for radioligand imaging across a wide range of oncological applications.
New data on GBCA safety indicate risk of renal complications 'exceedingly low'
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a serious, potentially fatal disease that progressively causes the skin and underlying tissues to harden.

NRC proposes updated guidance for patients receiving radioactive material

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is asking for comments on its proposed revision to be submitted by Aug. 26.

MRI tech company Metrasens files patent infringement case

Researchers survey radiology’s attitude toward synthesized digital mammography in DBT

Synthesized digital mammography (SM) was created to help reduce the radiation dose for patients undergoing digital mammography (DM) in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), so why haven’t more clinics adopted it?

ADHD medication can negatively impact child brain development

A commonly prescribed drug used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) disproportionately affects the development of children’s brains compared to adults with ADHD, according to a new study published in Radiology.

FDG-PET beats amyloid imaging for assessing Alzheimer’s

New research suggests that fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET is better for assessing the severity of Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) than florbetapir-PET scans.

MRI scans reveal 'big step' for progressive MS research

Chronic active lesions visible on brain MRI scans, identifiable by their “darkened outer rims,” are associated with multiple sclerosis, according to new findings published in JAMA Neurology.

Can mammography serve as a ‘dual test’ for breast cancer, CVD?

There’s a strong case to be made for mammography to become a “dual test” for both breast cancer screening and cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, according to a new review published in the European Journal of Radiology.
