Radiologists use diagnostic imaging to non-invasively look inside the body to help determine the causes of an injury or an illness, and confirm a diagnosis. Providers use many imaging modalities to do so, including CT, MRI, X-ray, Ultrasound, PET and more.
This is a clinical photo gallery of fetal imaging that explains what all can be seen on medical imaging, how sex is determined, how measurements are used to track the development of a baby.
Serious discrepancies between preliminary imaging reads and final radiology reports are at risk of accumulating when the prelims are rendered during overnight hours.
Radiology education researchers have created an image-intensive online course for third- and fourth-year medical students wishing to learn radiology remotely.
After experts from one institution evaluated 500 portable chest x-rays completed during the summer of 2021, it was revealed that 46.2% of the images obtained were problematic, requiring the imaging to be repeated.
The biggest news from the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) 2022 meeting was positive late-breaking data on the phase 3 Aurora trial for the flurpiridaz (F-18) PET radiotracer agent.
A new analysis offers a detailed comparison of soft-tissue lymphomas and soft-tissue tumors based on imaging characteristics from MRI scans—an area of study that has not yet been rigorously explored, the authors of the paper indicated.
When combined with artificial intelligence-based noise reduction techniques, new photon-counting CT technology can increase the detection of bone disease while also decreasing radiation exposure.
Authors of the new EJR paper explained that, although most of these tumors present in a similar way—with a lump or localized pain—their origins are wide-ranging and require the use of additional imaging to characterize the lesion.
Bibb Allen, MD, FACR, chief medical officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute, discusses multiple factors involved in the adoption rate of artificial intelligence in radiology.
Experts compared the cortical thickness of three bones—the radius, tibia and second metatarsal—of 200 volunteers who had undergone prior bone mineral density measurements to evaluate the ultrasound method’s accuracy.
Automated AI-generated measurements combined with annotated CT images can improve treatment planning and help referring physicians and patients better understand their disease, explained Sarah Jane Rinehart, MD, director of cardiac imaging with Charleston Area Medical Center.
Two advanced algorithms—one for CAC scores and another for segmenting cardiac chamber volumes—outperformed radiologists when assessing low-dose chest CT scans.
"Gen AI can help tackle repetitive tasks and provide insights into massive datasets, saving valuable time," Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said Tuesday.
