Radiology, sonography and beyond: Keep reading to find out how imaging techniques like MRI, CT and ultrasound can be used in the diagnosis of diseases and the guidance of medical procedures.
A patient reports with chest pain, but in the coronary angiogram, the main heart arteries look clear, so it cannot be angina – right? A new study reveals that this approach can easily lead to misdiagnosis.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) serve as the basis for a novel type of MRI contrast agent, which the developers hope can outperform current agents while being less toxic for the patient.
Researchers developed an AI-assisted brain atlas for visualization at microscopic detail using MRI scans. The tool could transform early detection of Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
3D + time: a new 4D ultrasound imaging technique could both improve our understanding of the circulatory system and facilitate the diagnosis of certain blood circulation-related diseases.
At the 2025 ESMRMB Annual Meeting in Marseille, speakers made a strong case for what remains an outsider in radiology: low-field MRI. Despite its affordability, improved performance, and reduced environmental footprint, the technology continues to face scepticism – not from regulators or patients, but from radiologists themselves.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip occurs in 2-4% of infants, but screening via ultrasound is notoriously hard to master. An AI-assisted application could prevent many unnecessary hospital referrals.
At the 38th European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Congress, held from October 4–8 in Barcelona, United Imaging, a global manufacturer of cutting-edge medical imaging technology, showcases its most advanced AI-powered molecular imaging innovations, the uMI Panvivo family and the uMI Panorama family, and highlights the company’s strong growth and confidence in the European market.
A new approach to PET imaging offers a promising way for physicians to promptly identify patients who are at risk for poor functional recovery after a heart attack, according to new research.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds great potential to spare men with suspected prostate cancer a painful biopsy. In our interview, Dr. Peter Seidensticker, Head of Medical Affairs Radiology at Bayer, outlines how MRI could be implemented as a first-line diagnostic.
A novel imaging solution, called PSMA PET scanning, can more effectively detect the recurrence of prostate cancer compared to standard methods, and is associated with improved survival outcomes.
Rising attendance in mammography screening programmes attest to the fact that women understand the importance of early breast cancer detection. However, the resulting workload increase is a growing challenge for many women’s imaging centres. At the 2025 SBI (Society of Breast Imaging) Symposium, breast imaging specialist Stamatia V. Destounis, MD, discussed her practice’s coping strategies.
Fujifilm Healthcare Europe announces the release of a new upgrade for its diagnostic ultrasound system Arietta 850 FF Endo, enabling Attenuation Measurement (iATT) and 2D Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) compatibility for the linear curved array Fujifilm EG-740UT ultrasonic endoscope.
An AI system that can predict what a patient’s knee X-ray will look like a year in the future could transform how millions of people with osteoarthritis understand and manage their condition.
A new type of SPECT imaging provides strong prognostic information to guide prostate cancer treatments according to tumor evolution, significantly impacting patients' overall survival.
Cardiac imaging is evolving, and new techniques continue to uncover the secrets of the heart for cardiologists who know how to use them. At the ESC 2025 Congress in Madrid, four experts explored cutting-edge developments across different modalities. Ranging from AI-assisted ultrasound image acquisition and accelerated MRI protocols to advanced prognostic tools for CT and nuclear imaging, these…
At the EANS neurosurgery congress in Vienna, Italian medical imaging company Esaote presented I-Genius, a new open MRI system designed to provide real time checks during glioma surgery.
GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely prescribed for individuals with diabetes and weight loss. However, these medications may adversely affect the interpretation of cancer imaging, new research finds.
Using PET/CT imaging, researchers discovered that the biological activity of visceral fat may drive the progression of endometrial cancer, offering a novel angle for diagnosis and treatment.
New insights on the mechanisms that cause “brain fog” in Long Covid patients: Researchers use a specialized brain imaging technique to identify a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.
This year, the Journées Francophones de Radiologie (JFR) will carry a clinical ambition as simple as it is essential: to shine a spotlight on those who are often overlooked. Under the presidency of Professor Mathieu Lederlin, thoracic radiologist at Rennes University Hospital, vulnerable patients will be at the heart of the annual meeting of the French Society of Radiology that will unfold…
Study of 3.7 million children reveals small but significant increased risk of blood cancers from medical imaging radiation, with CT scans posing highest risk
Using AI to help detect one of the leading killers of women worldwide: A new machine learning model can successfully predict heart disease risk in women by analysing mammograms.
Misinterpreting the malignancy risk of lung nodules often results in high false-positive rates, unnecessary follow-ups, increased patient anxiety and healthcare costs. A new study suggests that AI can fix this.
Imaging specialist Fujifilm Healthcare Europe and the research and training institute IRCAD France have announced a collaboration focused on surgical education and research programs.
Canon announces the launch of the Aquilion One / Insight Edition 160, a new addition to its computed tomography (CT) portfolio. The new system made its debut at Röntgenveckan (Stockholm, Sweden).
