Enhanced Ultrasound Superior to MRI for Diagnosing Certain Liver and Kidney Tumors
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a non-invasive imaging tool that is routinely used across the world to identify and characterize cancers, diagnose heart and vascular disease, monitor chronic gastro-intestinal diseases and therapy. Now, two new studies have revealed that CEUS is more accurate and reliable than MRI for examining certain liver and kidney nodules. More...27 Feb 2023

AI Software Provides Early, Rapid and Precise Triaging of Acute Stroke Patients Using CT Scans
An AI-based medical imaging software that provides early, automated detection of large vessel occlusions (LVOs), both hyperdense and not, on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) images, could assist in emergency settings for the benefit of acute stroke patients. More...27 Feb 2023


Advanced X-Ray Imaging Technique Could Detect Early-Stage Lung Disease
Chest radiography used by clinics and hospitals plays an important role in detecting respiratory diseases like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but is fundamentally limited by the way in which it generates images. Now, a new research study shows that an imaging process used mainly in research labs could detect early-stage lung disease if developed for use in hospitals and clinics. More...20 Feb 2023

Breakthrough Wireless Handheld Ultrasound System Allows Clinicians to Diagnose Anytime, Anywhere
A new wireless handheld ultrasound system revolutionizes the use of ultrasound by fitting a complicated system into a small size device, while retaining its ability to meet higher clinical requirements. More...16 Feb 2023

Radiomics Model Predicts Heart Attacks From CT Images
Researchers now using an approach called radiomics that can generate quantitative data from CT scans in order to detect underlying characteristics that are not normally visible in the images. This data can be used to predict future cardiac events such as heart attacks. More...15 Feb 2023
