Radiologists use diagnostic imaging to non-invasively look inside the body to help determine the causes of an injury or an illness, and confirm a diagnosis. Providers use many imaging modalities to do so, including CT, MRI, X-ray, Ultrasound, PET and more.
This is a clinical photo gallery of fetal imaging that explains what all can be seen on medical imaging, how sex is determined, how measurements are used to track the development of a baby.
Care must be used when evaluating imaging results of supplemental breast ultrasound used in tandem with traditional mammography screening to avoid excessive false-positive rates and retain specificity, according to results of a new study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.
By systematically analyzing the root causes of radiation-dose outliers—those with volumetric or dose-length product values higher than the 99th percentile and less than the first percentile in a large cohort—University of Toronto researchers were able to pinpoint corrective actions for CT scanning at a 463-bed teaching hospital.
Medtronic, the medical technology, services and solutions company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, announced today that its Specify SureScan MRI surgical leads have received FDA approval.
Upon the return of astronaut Scott Kelly to planet earth after living in space for almost a year, one of the first bits of news to make headlines was his gain of two inches in height.
NYU Langone researchers have reported that they are scanning traumatic joint fractures with one-fourteenth the radiation commonly used for CTs of such injuries and without significant falloff in image quality or diagnostic utility.
Clear Guide Medical, a healthcare technology company based in Baltimore, announced today that it has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its CT-Ultrasound fusion and image guidance system known as SCENERGY.
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have successfully tested new photon-counting detector (PCD) CT technology on human patients for the first time, potentially giving radiologists and clinicians an enhanced look inside the body using multi-energy imaging, according to results of a study recently published in the journal Radiology.
An analysis of more than half a million breast-cancer screenings complemented by a long follow-up period has buttressed the theory that women with false-positive results at mammography are at increased risk of later developing breast cancer.
The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.
CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.
