Using the COX-2 enzyme, a new PET imaging approach offers a never-before-seen view of inflammation in the brain, opening the door for clinical and research settings for various brain disorders.
A greater emphasis on AI and sustainability, new approaches to mitigating staff shortage and more: At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2025 in Vienna, Philips showcased its approaches to several critical issues in diagnostic imaging. The global healthtech company presented solutions addressing today's healthcare challenges while aligning with the congress's "Planet…
For Esaote, a leading Italian innovator in medical imaging - ultrasound, dedicated magnetic resonance and medical IT - the mission is to develop new technologies that can help advance diagnosis and improve patient care. Esaote has always leveraged continuous innovation as the key driver of its business strategy. This approach is also embodied in its three business areas.
A new PET tracer has the potential to play a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), improving clinical outcomes for patients.
Researchers developed a new scanning method that combines light and ultrasound to non-invasively monitor cerebrovascular changes in the early stages of an ischemic stroke in real time.
Anatomically accurate 3D-printed phantoms for CT imaging and AI training show promise as an alternative to cadavers. The new technology allows for patient-specific phantoms with realistic radiopacity.
MRI is an essential tool for clinicians, but the variability of image acquisition protocols is a challenge for achieving consistent and reliable interpretation. A new study intends to fix this issue.
United Imaging, a global leader in manufacturing advanced medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment, showcases a range of cutting-edge technologies aligned with sustainable values. Notably, the company achieves an A rating in the MSCI ESG ratings, highlighting its unwavering commitment to transforming medical diagnostics and patient care worldwide through a holistic, sustainable approach.
Researchers developed an AI-based system which has has a broad ability to identify even subtle differences between medical images taken at different times, and to predict related outcome measures.
Using a prototype field cycling imager (FCI) scanner to examine breast cancer tissue, scientists distinguish tumour material from healthy tissue with more accuracy than current MRI methods.
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…
Science, sustainability, and society – these are the three cornerstones of this year’s European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, Austria. Following the motto “Planet Radiology”, the congress focuses on the environmental impact of diagnostic imaging while exploring ways to advance equitable global healthcare access.
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…
The shimmering blue wings of a Morpho butterfly are not just beautiful to look at - they can also help make cancer diagnosis faster, more accurate and more accessible, new research finds.
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.
