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.
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…
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).
Researchers explored two promising new biomarkers as potential radiotheranostic targets for endometrial cancer. This could help identify patients who are likely to respond to targeted therapeutics.
An advanced imaging method that uses the natural glow of tissues could help detect subtle differences in the tissue’s biochemistry, offering a way to earlier detect colorectal cancer via endoscopy.
New AI-powered solutions for cardiac ultrasound: Italian medical imaging specialist Esaote will be present at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025, which starts today (29th August) in Madrid.
Patient communication facilitated by chatbots, image quality optimized by machine learning: Artificial intelligence (AI) is entering radiology at breakneck speed, transforming the specialty almost beyond recognition. So, how will the future of diagnostic imaging under AI look like, and which role will humans still play in it? At the ECR congress in Vienna, experts explored the societal and…
Tracer molecules serve to provide visual guidance in nuclear medicine, but a new molecule could give surgeons additional audio cues to help them locate prostate cancer tumors and metastases.
Henkjan Huisman has been appointed Professor of AI Guided Imaging at Radboud UMC/Radboud University. With a focus on AI applications in medical imaging, his goal is to provide better and more affordable care.
Using ultrasound imaging, researchers measure the wall thickness of the aorta from within a patient's body, to predict with higher accuracy whether an aneurysm will rupture or not.
Gadolinium-based contrast agents enhance visibility but also pose a significant health risk. A new AI-powered virtual MRI imaging technique is designed to offer a safer diagnostic approach.
Medical imaging methods are often affected by background noise, which can obscure fine anatomical details. A new approach to solve this problem draws inspiration from quantum mechanics.
Denoising of diffusion-weighted MRI data creates sharper images – but does it actually lead to better diagnostic results? Researchers explored the impact of noise removal on detecting abnormalities.
Sony and Siemens Healthineers announce a strategic global collaboration that combines the Artis angiography system of Siemens Healthineers with Sony’s Nucleus audio-visual management platform.
Beyond the visible spectrum: A new LED-based hyperspectral imaging system shows promise for gastrointestinal cancer detection during endoscopy.
A new technique called photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) offers a breast imaging alternative without the discomfort, high costs, or risk associated with the conventional evaluation methods.
Covid-19 has intensified domestic violence rates worldwide, with children among the most vulnerable victims. At the ECR 2025 radiology congress in Vienna, Dr Rick R. Van Rijn presented compelling insights into how radiologists can identify non-accidental trauma (NAT) in children through systematic imaging approaches. From comprehensive skeletal surveys to specific neurological imaging protocols,…
