A multi-year, Swedish study found three-dimensional (3D) mammography detected over 30 percent more cancers compared to traditional mammography, according to a new 15,000-woman study published in The Lancet Oncology.

Using microscopic imaging, researchers from the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada have shown how the kidneys negatively respond to contrast dyes used during various medical tests and procedures, according to a university press release published Oct. 15.

More frequent surveillance imaging does not improve overall survival or post-recurrence survival for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to research published in the October issue of Annals of Surgery.

A novel convolutional neural network (CNN) approach could be used to help radiologists improve their classification of osteoarthritis (OA) on knee radiographs, reported authors of a new study published in the Journal of Digital Imaging.

Breast ultrasound should be used as the primary initial imaging modality when evaluating focal breast symptoms in women 30 to 39 years old, according to research published Oct. 9 in the American Journal of Roentgenology. Although mammography can detect symptomatic breast cancer, the researchers found its cancer detection rate (CDR) to be lower than that of ultrasound.

Utilizing non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) quantification with 18F-Flutemetamol PET imaging can better assess amyloid pathology in elderly patients with low amyloid buildup compared to traditional standard uptake value ratio (SUVr), reported authors of an Oct. 12 study in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

A new pregnancy trend is having expectant mothers turn their nails into a canvas featuring images of their unborn baby’s sonograms. The results are taking social media by storm, according to a recent report by People.com.

A polio-like condition called acute flaccid mylelitis (AFM) that causes partial paralysis is showing up in children across the U.S. and can only be detected with MRI and spinal fluid tests, according to a report published Oct. 8 by NBC News.

Prominent medical societies have issued new clinical guidelines, Thursday, Oct. 11, recommending physicians use external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to treat men with early-stage prostate cancer.

Novel research led by Stephen Smith, PhD, from the Wellcome Center for Integrative Neuroimaging at the University of Oxford in the U.K.—whose team compared genetic data to 10,000 brain MRI scans from the U.K. Biobank project—gives insight into the genetic makeup of the human brain relevant to neurological and psychiatric disorders.
