The boom in interventional radiology procedures has enabled great strides in ischemic stroke management. But while a myriad of techniques are available, the challenge remains in choosing the most appropriate thrombectomy treatment on the spot, according to Jordi Blasco Andaluz, a neuroradiologist at Hospital Clinic Barcelona. The new ROSSETTI registry is designed to change this.
Pancreatic cystic lesions – indicating an increased risk of pancreatic cancer – are an occasional incidental finding in routine computed tomography (CT) abdominal imaging. New research suggests that the superior image quality of photon-counting CT (PCCT) can help detect more of these lesions. At the RSNA annual meeting, an expert outlined the benefits and limitations of the imaging technique…
For more than a year now, patients in Austria are no longer required to wear a lead apron during radiological imaging procedures such as X-ray and CT scans. However, the new recommendation, issued by the country's five specialist societies for radiation protection and imaging, has sparked mixed reactions among radiology technologists. At the annual congress of the specialist society…
By detecting nerve connections in the injured spinal cord, a newly developed radiotracer could help diagnose injuries more precisely, monitor recovery, and evaluate therapy effectiveness.
A new AI-enhanced technique makes breast cancer tissue “glow” on MRI scans. This not only improves breast cancer detection but also can help treat it more effectively, the researchers say.
Nuclear cardiology is a specialised field in nuclear medicine that evaluates the heart function to help diagnosing conditions such as coronary artery disease and to assess treatment efficacy, whilst minimising invasive procedures like biopsies. More recently, clinicians have increasingly opted for nuclear imaging over endomyocardial biopsy to diagnose cardiac amyloidosis, allowing for earlier…
Medical imaging has come a long way in the past four decades: Advances have been made in the digitization of images, but also towards more gender equality in a once male-dominated field. We talked with Katherine P. Andriole, Ph.D., a leading expert and one of the first women to enter the field, about the evolution of medical imaging informatics, experiences she has had, and her advice to those…
A new open-source automated MRI segmentation tool is setting new standards, developers say. It adapts to any new dataset with minimal user intervention, outperforming similar tools.
The Diagnostica e Terapia Centro Aktis in Marano di Napoli, Italy, has expanded its diagnostic department with the addition of three imaging systems from United Imaging.
A new AI tool creates super-resolution images showing the inner structures of bones in great detail. This can be used to better determine risk for fracture in elderly patients with osteoporosis.
New AI-enabled systems, intelligent software, and imaging cloud services for improved radiology workflows: Royal Philips announces its solutions that will be showcased at ECR 2025 in Vienna.
AI-supported screening for breast cancer can detect more cancer cases compared with traditional screening, and find more invasive cancers at an early stage, results from the MASAI trial indicate.
Mobile stroke units can greatly reduce time-to-treatment. At this year's International Stroke Conference, Siemens Healthineers is showcasing its new mobile solution to support stroke diagnosis.
The virus behind Covid-19 initially causes acute lung injury and respiratory failure. However, new evidence indicates the virus also involves inflammation that can affect the cardiovascular system.
Two new radiotracers outperform the current FDA-approved tracer for detecting Alzheimer's disease, showing higher binding to affected tissue and greater selectivity for identifying tau tangles.
Late-stage breast cancer patients are more often affected by brain metastases than previously believed, a new study finds. The researchers suggest that MRI screening guidelines should reflect this.
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) 3D imaging of the heart greatly contributes to preventing heart attacks, compared to standard tests, a new study finds.
A new deep learning model shows promise in detecting and segmenting lung tumors. The findings of the study could have important implications for lung cancer treatment.
The installation of a state-of-the-art digital PET/CT scanner in Essen marks the German debut for the technology of United Imaging. The device is designed to deliver precision diagnostics at the Kliniken Essen-Mitte Evang and the private nuclear medicine clinic Nukmed, a premier cancer care institution.
Patients with a common aggressive type of bladder cancer could get correct treatment significantly quicker as new research suggests that initial MRI imaging and biopsy could reduce wait times.
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model to detect the spread of metastatic brain cancer using MRI scans, offering insights into patients’ cancer without aggressive surgery.
Improved breast cancer detection, reduced workload for radiologists: The world’s largest prospective study on AI in Germany’s Mammography Screening Program reveals the technology's benefits.
Ovarian cancer is common and often only detected by chance. A newly developed AI-based model could help differentiate between benign and malignant ovarian lesions.
United Imaging announces four installations of their diagnostic imaging systems at three healthcare facilities in Romania. Working closely with distributor Tehnoplus Medical, the company hopes to increase diagnostic accuracy and support better treatment outcomes.
Using a technique called field-cycling imaging (FCI) derived from MRI, researchers are able to detect signs of brain damage from stroke at ultra-low magnetic fields.
