Here is a list of some key trends in radiology technology from our editors based on our coverage of the radiology market.

The Edinburgh-based business made the announcement on Jan. 18, noting that the acquisition will build on the company’s goals to “improve the lives of patients and populations by unlocking the adoption and benefits of medical imaging AI.” 

Thanks to functional MRI exams, experts recently gained new insight into mechanisms behind the “loosening of associations” commonly observed in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is one the single most common causes of hypertension, but identifying patients with PA—and knowing which ones may benefit from a surgical treatment—can be quite challenging.

The 10-minute scan can “light up” aldosterone-producing nodules in the adrenal glands following an injection of metomidate—a radioactive dye that binds specifically to aldosterone-producing nodules.

The growing presence of non-physician practitioners has created an increased demand for contrast-enhanced imaging, according to new data.

Researchers from the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto are collaborating to better understand how glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) advances when it is not treated.

Dedicating more time to MRI-specific training beyond standard curriculum improves radiology residents’ confidence and understanding of the modality. 

Experts argue that the overall incidence of blunt cerebrovascular injury is very low and that symptomatic vascular injuries in these cases are even lower. 

The deep learning model was trained to predict risk of lung cancer in the one to six years following completion of an LDCT scan, and it does not require clinical information relative to risk factors to do so.
