Radiology with imaging techniques like MRI and CT is a mainstay in the diagnosis of diseases and the guidance of medical procedures. Keep reading to see the latest developments.
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.
As Emergency Departments (EDs) get ever busier, focus has fallen on the role artificial Intelligence (AI) can play in supporting patients and clinicians in delivering urgent care. The topic took centre stage in a session looking at the ethics of AI in the ED at the annual congress of the European Society of Emergency Medicine (EUSEM) in Copenhagen.
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.
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…
Nuclear medicine (NM), one of the more mature technologies of diagnostic imaging, has been experiencing a rebirth in innovation and interest. The increasing prevalence of cancer,, an aging global population, and greater longevity, has created a robust demand for nuclear medicine. At ECR in Vienna, presenters explored market perspectives, but also safety and sustainability challenges.
Radiation safety experts developed a multi-purpose detector with a wide range of tools for different uses into a small package. For example, the detector detects all four kinds of ionizing radiation.
Contrast agents, AI and circular economy: Bayer presented new developments for radiology at the ECR Congress. Particular emphasis was placed on digital assistance systems and sustainability.
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…
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.
Photon counting detectors along with novel algorithms allow for more precise 3D visualization of different tissues and contrast agents by capturing X-rays at multiple energy levels simultaneously.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
