Accurately diagnosing heart failure, aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and many other conditions has never been more complex. Simultaneously, cardiologists are still expected to see more patients in less time. A newly CE-marked software could change that.
Using a specialized “broth”, researchers have developed a way to condense the days-long diagnosis timeline for sepsis to just hours, facilitating faster diagnosis and clinical decision-making.
In the DISCOVER-ME project, researchers search for biological characteristics of myalgic encephalomyelitis, and also investigate whether patients can be divided into different subgroups.
Invasive fungal infections are notoriously hard to catch early, and even harder to rule out with confidence. At CHU Bordeaux, Dr Frédéric Gabriel has spent years refining how his lab uses β-D-glucan (BDG) testing to sharpen that judgement call – including with the Wako β-glucan test. In this interview, he explains what the guidelines say, what actually happens at the bench, and where he…
PET/CT can add valuable information to aid the diagnosis of fever of unknown origin (FUO), directly influencing the clinical management in nearly 75% of patients, a new study finds.
A common diabetes test could miss the condition in people with sickle cell trait, new research suggests. Understanding this limitation of immunoassay testing could help guide protocols and policies.
Migraines, digestive problems, anxiety, and depression can be part of endometriosis. New research reinforces the idea that the disease extends far beyond its traditional gynecological manifestations.
Detecting genetic mutations associated with lung cancer via laboratory tests can be expensive and time-consuming, and use up valuable tissue from small biopsy samples. A new approach aims to fix this.
As the aorta gains recognition as a functioning organ rather than a simple blood conduit, the lack of standardised imaging protocols is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. At ECR 2026 in Vienna, Professor Nicola Galea from Sapienza University of Rome made a compelling case for unified imaging approaches, warning that inconsistency in measurement techniques can lead to flawed clinical…
A simple bedside eye test may help predict recovery of consciousness in patients with severe brain injuries, according to new research.
AI is transforming the way cancer is diagnosed and treated. Dr Yuri Tolkach shared his group's advances in developing AI-based tools for oncological pathology at the DPAI Europe congress.
Blood tests show promise for detecting and monitoring cancer. A new method makes it possible to analyse samples containing as little as 5% cancer DNA, compared with the 15–20% required today.
Researchers developed a simple, rapid, and low-dose X-ray technique to evaluate the severity of pulmonary valve regurgitation – a common complication after surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot.
Invasive fungal infections are silent, fast-moving, and notoriously hard to catch in time. The FUJIFILM Wako β-D-Glucan Test on the LIMUSAVE MT-7500 gives clinical laboratories a quantitative, LAL-based tool to detect (1→3)-β-D-glucan in serum or plasma – enabling earlier diagnosis where it matters most.
A new AI model enables more efficient analysis of tissue samples taken from colorectal cancer tumours. This can help shorten diagnosis times, reduce costs, and improve diagnostic accuracy.
Persistent long Covid symptoms are often linked to brain inflammation. However, results from a new study point at a different explanantion for fatigue, cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression.
A team of researchers has developed an AI system capable of interpreting some of the most complex heart scans in medicine, cardiac MRI, without the need for manually labeled training data.
Artificial intelligence is enabling radiologists to extract valuable diagnostic information from routine chest imaging – identifying patients at risk for osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease without additional scans. At RSNA 2025, researchers presented two AI-powered tools that transform standard chest X-rays and CT scans into opportunistic screening devices.
Endometriosis affects up to one in ten women and girls of reproductive age, but for many, the path to diagnosis is both long and complex. Now, two new studies explain the diagnostic challenges in primary care.
