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

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.

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.

At one institution, the intervention resulted in an average cost savings of $139,367.80 per year.

Researchers recently found results yielded via subtraction CCTA to be similar to those produced by ICA in assessing stenosis grading.

Mahadevappa Mahesh, PhD, professor of radiology and a medical physicist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, explains a new ACR effort to ensure that lower radiation dose X-ray images under Image Wisely and As Low as Reasonable Achievable (ALARA) meet diagnostic reading standards.

Although whole-body CT scans are frequently one of the first assessments in the triage of trauma patients, new research argues that the use of bedside ultrasound could be more appropriate for initial examinations.
