Heather Jacene, MD, assistant chief of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, clinical director of Nuclear Medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and associate professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, has been named president-elect of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).
MRI study of 802 patients shows carotid plaques become more complex over six years, with calcified plaques twice as likely to develop dangerous internal bleeding.
New research demonstrates CT colonography outperforms stool DNA testing in both clinical effectiveness and cost savings for colorectal cancer screening.
Maternal contractions during childbirth put considerable stress on a baby's heart. Using a new ultrasound technique, researchers were able to predict complications necessitating C-section.
A quarter of deaths in the UK are caused by heart disease, the equivalent of one person every 3 seconds. New research suggests that effective diagnosis might literally be as easy as riding a bike.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the EU, yet no organized screening program exists to detect the disease before symptoms appear. This September, France will strike back with an ambitious pilot program that could boost European lung cancer screening. Professor Marie-Pierre Revel presented the details at the French Thoracic Imaging Society Spring Days in Marseille, highlighting…
Many women are only diagnosed with breast cancer after they present to a doctor with symptoms. A new study points out that early detection through screening leads to improved outcomes.
United Imaging, a global leader in cutting-edge diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy solutions, proudly unveils two groundbreaking additions to its portfolio — the uMI Panvivo and the uMR Ultra — both newly CE-marked and set to redefine the standards of precision and performance in medical imaging.
Medical device manufacturer Medtron is expanding its portfolio with two new reusable syringe models. The new products will be presented to the public for the first time at the German Radiology Congress in Wiesbaden.
Experts from the University of Nottingham have proven that multiple sclerosis can successfully be diagnosed using an MRI scan, meaning patients no longer need to undergo a painful lumbar puncture.
Diagnosing breast cancer in women with extremely dense breasts often comes down to MRI, but the scans take long and are expensive. Research confirms that shorter protocols also yield accurate results.
Integration of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare is still in its early stages, but expected to expand rapidly. Now, researchers point out potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities in radiology.
Using radiomics on mammograms of over 30,000 women, researchers have identified six breast texture patterns that may be associated with increased cancer risk.
People at risk of cardiovascular disease could be identified a decade before they have a heart attack or stroke, a new University of Dundee study has discovered.
A new 4D flow MRI method could accelerate diagnosis of aortic stenosis, a progressive and potentially fatal heart condition.
A novel deep-learning approach automatically finds and classifies microcalcifications found in mammography images—bringing both accuracy and consistency to breast-cancer screening.
Results of a new retrospective study demonstrate the potential of a novel, CT-based deep learning-driven tool to enhance liver cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and response evaluation.
A new biomarker for multiple sclerosis: the inflammatory cell rim from microglial cells surrounding brain lesions was found to directly correlate with the severity and speed of disease progression.
Announcing the first edition of the MSK Imaging in Sports Medicine, with the unrestricted support of Esaote. The event will take place on May 30, 2025, in Florence, Italy, at Viola Park, one of the largest sports centers in Europe.
Bringing diagnostics and therapy closer together - that is the basic concept behind theranostics. Through further development of its PET/MR scanners, Siemens Healthineers aims to advance this approach. Andreas Schneck, Head of the MRI Division at Siemens Healthineers, talks about the new system, which was also presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, and its advantages in…
Using an advanced PET scanner, US radiologists explore how cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and other systemic conditions, can affect the brain by assessing the impact on the blood-brain barrier.
United imaging announces the successful installation of their digital PET/CT system uMI 550 at Centre Mèdic Alomar in Barcelona. Equipped with comprehensive cardiac imaging features, its use extends beyond cardiology.
Breast MRI has emerged as a powerful diagnostic tool, particularly for women with dense breast tissue where traditional mammography faces limitations. In her presentation at ECR 2025, radiographer Hanna Kalliomäki highlighted several technological advances transforming breast cancer detection and diagnosis. From time-saving abbreviated protocols and AI-assisted analysis to contrast-free…
Despite their improving diagnostic accuracy, medical AI systems are often met with skepticism by radiologists. Their patients, however, seem more inclined to embrace this technology, a study shows.
