In just four years, the implementation of information systems among radiation therapy sites as an integrated component of oncology treatment has climbed from 50% to two-thirds, according to new research from IMV Medical Information Division.

Lee Memorial Health System (LMHS), Fort Myers, Florida, offers a wide range of imaging services at its four acute-care campuses and three outpatient imaging centers, including a host of high-field MRI systems. As Mark Williams, director of outpatient imaging, recalls, however, something was missing. “When we looked at our business model, we saw

New applications and an aging population mean the global MRI market is expected to grow from $4 billion in 2011 to $4.76 billion in 2016, according to a new report by Research and Markets.

Technological improvements in image acquisition and software processing in nuclear cardiology should allow physicians to shave patient imaging times dramatically or cut radiation doses fourfold, according to a new preferred practice statement from the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC).

Revelations about the actual cause of myocardial infarction have led researchers to seek out new ways to diagnose, evaluate, treat and prevent coronary artery disease, specifically through imaging vulnerable plaque.

Nuclear cardiology is changing to become an important application of molecular imaging.

The societies have updated and expanded their guidelines for appropriate cardiac nuclear imaging, but how are they being implemented into daily clinical practice?

Advanced cancer biomarker research may well be moving beyond the realm of diagnostic to preventive medicine.
