Comparing six dual-energy CT technologies marketed by three scanner manufacturers, radiology researchers have found all models helpful in determining the chemical composition of kidney stones even at substantially reduced radiation doses.

The Internet is an acceptable source of images for training algorithms to automatically triage patients with dislocated joints and similar orthopedic emergencies. 

AI can safely and accurately identify healthy breast tissue on ultrafast breast MRI, negating the need for a radiologist’s closer look and, in the process, lowering cancer screening costs and widening patient access to breast MRI.

Canada has fallen behind other industrialized nations in multiple measures of capital healthcare investment, and the most glaring gap is found in the state of its medical imaging equipment.

Researchers have developed a novel cardiovascular MRI protocol as an option to the invasive gold standard, endomyocardial biopsy, for monitoring heart-transplant patients at risk of suffering organ rejection.

Radiology researchers have demonstrated the reliability of an AI system they developed to automatically check placement of endotracheal tubes on chest X-rays.

Hybrid PET/CT enhanced with intravenous CT contrast deserves wider acceptance and adoption, as diagnostically optimized CT can complement PET—and vice versa—for a variety of potential indications. That’s one opinion on the matter.
