Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have partnered with imaging technology company 4DDI to develop a new way of conducting CT scans on horses, laying the groundwork for potential applications in human medicine.

Dense breast tissue presents multiple problems for patients and physicians: The condition not only increases the risk of developing cancer, but also makes the disease more difficult to detect with traditional breast cancer screening techniques.

As you read the words displayed on the computer screen, your brain is recognizing, responding and organizing information related to their interpretation as well as associations with other words, images and ideas. Now neuroimaging is revealing the secrets of this process, according to new research published in the journal Nature.

Perfusion neuroimaging using SPECT can detect abnormalities in the brains of retired and current National Football League players, distinguishing them from healthy control subjects, according to results of a new study published online in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

Despite the many benefits of CT imaging—early diagnosis, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, improved outcomes, etc.—a small number of cancers resulting from patient exposure to radiation from CT scans can have a big financial impact on treatment costs, according to results of a study recently presented at the annual meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society.

It’s been a busy week in the world of breast cancer screening research, with study results increasing our collective understanding of how best to use certain screening modalities and imaging protocols, as well as newly enacted legislation at the state level requiring women to be notified of potential risks related to dense breast tissues.

A single season spent playing contact sports is all it takes for measurable changes to occur inside young athletes’ brains, according to results of a study recently published in the Journal of Neurotrauma.

When Triemli Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, decided to install dose management software for its CT scanners, researchers wanted to find out just how effective the software could be at reducing elevated dosage notifications and raising technologist awareness through real-time monitoring.
