On the third day of RSNA, attendees packed the main auditorium to see a keynote address on advancing imaging technologies and techniques that will become useful in efforts to treat cancer. 

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vital Images, Inc. (Vital), a Minneapolis-based enterprise medical imaging and informatics company, is pleased to announce that it will launch Vitrea Data Stream and the latest release of Vitrea Enterprise Viewer at RSNA 2016. Data Stream can accelerate image presentation and provide a single access point for EMR image enablement across multiple PACS systems.

Washington University researchers say they have developed a novel PET tracer that is significantly better than FDA-approved compounds at detecting amyloid clusters in patients with suspected Alzheimer’s disease. 

Regeneration of limbs may be restricted to lizards and crustaceans, but science is no less interested in studying just how cells accomplish the amazing feat. For the first time, researchers have been able to record just how epidermal cells act during regrowth after amputation.

Nicklaus Children's Hospital, a part of Miami Children’s Health System, has recently installed a new intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) system that is able to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy brain tissue and improve accuracy for surgeons removing tumors.

Physicists at the University of Virginia have developed and proven out the concept of a new imaging modality. What they’re calling “polarized nuclear imaging” (PNI) combines MRI with gamma-ray imaging to produce visuals of radioactive isotopes polarized by lasers.

Researchers have developed an MRI method to get a visual on electric currents affecting the human brain immediately after sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

A new technology developed by researchers at MIT could have implications in two vastly different fields: medical imaging and self-driving cars.
