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.

10-second brain MRI scans possible with newly FDA-cleared deep learning reconstruction software
The artificial intelligence-enabled software offers accelerated acquisition times, improved image resolution and one-click workflows for technologists.
Generative AI model shows potential for reading chest X-rays used for TB screenings
Generative artificial intelligence models have shown great potential for improving multiple aspects of the radiology field, but a new analysis cautions that they still require significant oversight.
Specialized imaging technique offers pain-free, effective alternative to mammograms
The photoacoustic CT, or PACT, imaging technique is said to perform comparably to mammography for cancer detection, but without the discomfort of standard mammograms.
Algorithm accurately predicts dementia risk using a single MRI scan
The tool also can be used to predict a person's brain age and risk for a myriad of other chronic conditions as well.
Mayo Clinic develops AI capable of substantially improving dementia diagnoses
With the software's help, readers are up to three times more accurate and interpretations are nearly twice as fast.

Calcified carotid plaques more likely to rupture than previously believed, MRI findings suggest

Ruptured plaques can lead to the formation of blood clots that significantly increase the risk of stroke.

ChatGPT large language models radiology health care

ChatGPT excels at assessing breast pain symptoms, deciding if patients require imaging

This task could potentially be performed by a member of the radiology scheduling team with oversight by a clinical nurse navigator.

FDA approves expanded use of Xenoview for lung imaging

FDA approves expanded use of 'powerful' lung imaging tool

The approval will make around 1 million more patients eligible to receive the specialized contrast, which enhances the evaluation of lung ventilation.

FDA authorizes 1st AI tool to predict 5-year breast cancer risk from routine mammograms

Clairity Breast analyzes screening mammograms and can detect “subtle imaging features” correlated with long-term risk, the Boston-based company notes.

Symptom-detected breast cancers nearly 7 times more likely to be diagnosed at advanced stage

Advances in treatment are often credited with improving breast cancer outcomes, but new findings suggest the decrease in mortality may actually be due to improved screening initiatives.

Prenuvo reveals early findings from elective whole-body MRI clinical trial

The Redwood City, California-based radiology group has enrolled 1,011 “mostly asymptomatic” individuals who underwent whole-body MRIs as part of its “real world” Polaris study.

Prostate cancer theranostic, said to match effectiveness of Pluvicto, heads to clinical trial

ART-101 is a prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeting small molecule that can pair with multiple isotopes, including actinium-225, lutetium-177 and terbium-161.

MRI may not be suitable for spontaneous deep ICH

Study challenges use of MRI in spontaneous deep intracerebral hemorrhage

Spontaneous ICH carries a heightened risk of mortality, making locating its origin in a timely manner critical to outcomes.
