Chest radiographs and CT can identify unique features of the H7N9 virus which may assist in the proper initiation of treatment.

The federal government’s rules would allow physicians to use digital radiography instead of film-based methods for testing under the Federal Black Lung program.

A video-based patient decision aid may help smokers make more informed decisions about undergoing CT screening for lung cancer.

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center researchers developed imaging software that reduced radiation by 37 percent.

Contrast media with CT significantly increased radiation dose, so number and timing of contrast-enhanced scans should be optimized when setting protocols.

Minimal dose computed tomography finds far more new or recurrent lung cancers than X-ray in patients who had undergone resection of lung cancer.

Using fMRI, researchers measured brain activity to assess pain from sensory input, which may help physicians identify and treat pain and distress.

Computed tomographic colonography in patients symptomatic of colorectal cancer resulted in a significantly higher rate of additional colonic investigation.

Computed tomographic colonography (CTC), or virtual colonoscopy, was more sensitive than barium enema in detecting colorectal cancer and large polyps.

MRI soon after mild traumatic brain injury may show linear hemorrhagic lesions in the brain that could provide a target for acute therapy after the injury.

MR fingerprinting could provide a non-invasive method of identifying diseases through a novel approach to data acquisition, post-processing and visualization.

The term “low dose” for reporting CT scan radiation dose is too vague, say editors of the journal Radiology. Here one editor discusses the goal of abolishing the term.

Emergency ultrasound may accurately diagnose cranial fractures in head-injured children with localized signs of head trauma compared with CT scanning.
