Radiologists use diagnostic imaging to non-invasively look inside the body to help determine the causes of an injury or an illness, and confirm a diagnosis. Providers use many imaging modalities to do so, including CT, MRI, X-ray, Ultrasound, PET and more.
Chest CT is routinely performed for things like lung cancer screening, coronary calcium assessment and pulmonary nodule surveillance, but the modality also can be used to extract additional information.
By highlighting subtle abnormalities that could otherwise be overlooked, an algorithm could potentially serve as an additional safety net when radiographic findings are indeterminate.
Upon the return of astronaut Scott Kelly to planet earth after living in space for almost a year, one of the first bits of news to make headlines was his gain of two inches in height.
NYU Langone researchers have reported that they are scanning traumatic joint fractures with one-fourteenth the radiation commonly used for CTs of such injuries and without significant falloff in image quality or diagnostic utility.
Clear Guide Medical, a healthcare technology company based in Baltimore, announced today that it has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its CT-Ultrasound fusion and image guidance system known as SCENERGY.
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have successfully tested new photon-counting detector (PCD) CT technology on human patients for the first time, potentially giving radiologists and clinicians an enhanced look inside the body using multi-energy imaging, according to results of a study recently published in the journal Radiology.
An analysis of more than half a million breast-cancer screenings complemented by a long follow-up period has buttressed the theory that women with false-positive results at mammography are at increased risk of later developing breast cancer.
Some x-rays get seen by significantly more people than others. As reported by SportsNet New York, NFL defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul has shared x-rays and photographs of his right hand, which was injured in a fireworks accident last year, on various social media accounts.
Radiation therapy for post-lumpectomy patients 70 and older with small, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer should have significantly declined over the past 16 years, but it’s only dipped a bit.
Errors from radiology trainees increase when interpreting digital breast tomosynthesis scans deemed to be difficult by expert imaging readers, according to results of a new study published online in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
