MRI-guided thrombolysis using intravenous alteplase resulted in better functional outcomes in acute stroke patients with an unknown time of onset, according to a study in the Aug. 16 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Patients who have suffered a stroke may be helped by four easy checks of their brain CT scans, according to a large analysis published August 14 in The Lancet Neurology.

In patients with multiple traumas, those who were over 30 years old with severe injuries across more than two body parts were more likely to experience a missed injury upon initial CT scan, according to a recent Radiology study.

A new technology hopes to break the geographical barriers keeping patients from diagnostic CT scans. The imaging units are hardly mobile, so one scientist is hoping to put similar tools into people’s hands.

New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests a physician's intuition—or, in other words, gut feeling—about a patient’s condition significantly influences the amount of diagnostic imaging, which is well above the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI).

The lack of female leadership in radiology could be countered with a "paradigm shift," wrote Carolyn Meltzer, MD, in her most recent editorial published in the Journal of American College of Radiology. She calls for more skill building, sponsorships and leadership support for women.

2D shear-wave elastography (SWE) outperformed other noninvasive methods in detecting liver damage in chronic hepatitis B patients, according to researchers of a recent Radiology study.

A novel blood test given within 12 hours of suspected traumatic brain injury (TBI) may eliminate unnecessary CT scans while sparing patients radiation exposure and reducing costs, a new study in The Lancet Neurology reported—but some experts remain skeptical.
