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.
Not every spine abnormality shown in an MRI scan causes pain for a patient. To diagnose correctly, researchers advocate the use of questionnaires to match the images with reported symptoms.
United Imaging launches the uMI Panvivo, the uMI Panorama GS and Nuclear Medicine AI Solution at EANM, and announces strategic partnerships, reinforcing its commitment to advancing molecular imaging in Europe and beyond.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has made the jump to the Antarctic continent. A new mobile scanner at the Concordia research station is used to study effects on the brain even further away: in space.
Insulinomas are benign tumors in the pancreas, but can still cause problems for patients. A new imaging technique reliably detects these previously hard-to-find tumors, according to recent research.
Because radiology exams are an integral part of the treatment process for many hospital inpatients, any improvements in efficiency can have a positive ripple effect on routine hospital operations and functionality. Two quality control presentations at the 2023 RSNA Annual Meeting shared the theme of creating representational staff teams to identify bottlenecks involving radiology report…
Minimally invasive surgical interventions, innovative imaging and the use of AI: At the upcoming EUSOBI congress in Lisbon, experts present and discuss the latest advances in breast imaging. We spoke with Tanja Brycker from Hologic ahead of the event about new trends in women’s health, the company’s investment in innovation and education, and what the future of mammography looks like with the…
Using smartly trained neural networks, researchers at TU Graz have succeeded in generating precise real-time images of the beating heart from just a few MRI measurement data.
Measuring the calcium build up in the arteries of the breast, researchers have developed an AI-generated score for predicting cardiovascular disease in women from their mammograms.
Kidney cancer is relatively rare, so dedicated screening programmes would not be cost-effective. Combined with lung cancer screening, however, this would be much more feasible, a new study shows.
Evidence of the superiority of tomosynthesis for breast cancer detection is stacking up, with new results from a 10-year study further demonstrating the 3D imaging technique's benefits.
Ultrasound plays a pivotal role in the assessment of organ transplant patients. It enables physicians to safely and easily assess progress, identify complications and resolve problems, as well as deliver long-term monitoring. The value of ultrasound in the transplant space was highlighted in a session at ECR 2024, covering liver, renal, pancreas, paediatric and multi-organ transplants with…
Researchers have identified biomarkers that, in conjunction with PET imaging, enable doctors to reliably distinguish between primary 4-repeat tauopathies and Alzheimer's disease.
Mammography can lead to “false positives,” meaning they do not result in a breast cancer diagnosis. This may discourage some women from future screenings, according to a new study.
With enough medical training data, AI can predict health conditions with astounding accuracy. Now, researchers want to use brain scans of the entire Scottish population to have an algorithm early detect dementia.
To diagnose neuroblastoma in children, lengthy scans and anaesthesia are often required. A new PET/CT imaging technique could deliver faster results without sedation for the paediatric patients.
Radiology practices have a high volume of chest X-rays without clinically significant finding, which take up a lot of time. A new AI tool could improve workflows by providing an automatic report.
United Imaging, a company specializing in advanced imaging solutions, is proud to announce the first installment of their cutting-edge technology in France. The increasing number of healthcare facilities deciding to leverage the company's diagnostic solutions stands as a testament to their effort toward engineering imaging solutions that hold the potential to transform patients’ lives worldwide.
New resesarch suggests a new way of assessing the risk of heart failure without invasive diagnostic tests. The method involves MRI to measure heart pressure as a predictive factor.
United Imaging is pleased to announce the installation of their uMI 550 mobile system in Germany. Starting in September, Alliance Medical Northern Europe (part of the Alliance Medical Group) is using the manufacturer’s advanced imaging technology to facilitate access to the highest quality diagnostic services for their patients. Germany is now the second country in Europe where the company's…
Artificial Intelligence will be a critical component in ensuring a Europe-wide lung cancer screening programme can achieve its potential, according to speakers at a special ECR 2024 session. Delegates heard that the SOLACE project (Strengthening the screening of Lung Cancer in Europe) will be supported by AI in terms of workflow, diagnostics, and image and data analysis.
Just a concussion? Head injury can lead to persistent symptoms, yet CT scans often fail to identify these cases. Researchers explore the potential of diffusion tensor imaging for better diagnostics.
Combining risk markers, systematic evaluation of MRI images and AI, researchers aim to predict the risk of prostate cancer more accurately than before. This could save many patients from a biopsy.
The interpretation of prostate MRI is notoriously difficult. Annotating AI shows promise to help improve diagnostic performance through increased cancer detection rates with fewer false positives.
A new type of contrast agent for use in both MRI and PET imaging has the potential to significantly enhance diagnosis and subsequent treatment, particularly for kidney diseases and tumors.
As the adoption of AI into healthcare continues, concerns about the environmental impact of increasingly complex AI models grow. Therefore, researchers are looking for more sustainable AI solutions.
