A new deep learning approach lowered radiation exposure from CT imaging while producing higher quality scans compared to traditional iterative reconstruction techniques, according to research published in Nature Machine Intelligence.
Open-access (OA) publishing in radiology and nuclear medicine has slowed in recent years, and authors of a new study believe radiology—as a whole—needs to be more supportive in offering free access to the field’s latest research.
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) can better classify chest x-rays when trained on augmented datasets, according to a new study published in Clinical Radiology.
A team of German researchers has found a new class of radiopharmaceuticals capable of identifying 28 types of malignant tumors, imaging them with high uptake and image contrast.
Mount Everest has been in the news lately, as pictures of a climbers huddled in long lines have surfaced across the internet. Peter Lowry, a 38 year-old radiologist from Golden, Colorado, talked about his ascent up the mountain and how he’s dealing with the darker side of Everest.
Mammography clinics are getting creative these days in an effort to make breast screening a little more appealing. Massage chairs and goody bags are only a few of the ways imaging providers are trying to make the experience more positive.
Utilizing the ultrafast scan mode for CT imaging in the emergency department (ED) can significantly reduce motion artifacts, reported a team of Japan-based researchers in a study published by the American Journal of Roentgenology.
A jury awarded $11.5 million to a woman from Framingham, Massachusetts, in a medical malpractice suit filed against a radiologist in the state, which argued he was negligent in not adequately identifying a heart problem that eventually led to permanent brain damage, according to the Boston Globe.
“The risk of malpractice within the specialty is real, and in some respect, inevitable for most of us,” wrote Jonathan L. Mezrich, MD, in a new piece published by the American Journal of Roentgenology.
