"Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies," an exhibition of more than 20 sets of striking large-format prints, showcases advanced imaging technologies used by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and reveals once-hidden, intricate details of both natural phenomena and cultural artifacts.
Image-guided percutaneous biopsy is a viable substitute for splenectomy while causing fewer complications for patients, a new study published in the journal Radiology has found.
The dramatic increases in the use of Multidetector CT scanners (MDCT) prior to surgery in cases of acute appendicitis appear justified by their diagnostic abilities, a new study suggests.
Cocaine addicts who otherwise appeared to have healthy hearts showed significant cardiac damage when under the watchful eye of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, an Italian team has found.
Hundreds of hospitals across the country needlessly exposed patients to radiation by giving patients doubled-up CT chest scans a front page article in Saturday’s New York Times found.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of 110,000 iCross and as Atlantis SR Pro 2 coronary imaging catheters. This follows Boston Scientific’s voluntary recall of iCross catheters announced on May 27.
Doppler ultrasound can help determine if a baby is allergic to cow’s milk based on the thickness and blood-vessel density in the bowel wall, a team of Brazilian researchers has found.
Optison, a diagnostic ultrasound contrast agent for use in improving echocardiograms, did not significantly affect pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) or pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) compared to baseline in patients with normal or elevated pulmonary arterial systolic pressure, a new study has found.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved the Siemens Biograph mMR system for use in the United States. It’s the first device approved to simultaneously perform a positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in the US.
Children with pediatric sarcoma can be spared the additional radiation of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). PET/CT imaging alone does the trick, according to a study presented this week at the Society of Nuclear Medicine annual meeting in San Antonio.
More than just a diagnostic tool to determine whether or not a patient has coronary artery disease, coronary CT angiography (CCTA) can help physicians predict a patient’s risk of future cardiac problems, according to a study published online in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
A bipartisan bill to set minimum education and certification standards for technical personnel providing, planning and delivering Medicare-funded medical imaging and radiation therapy treatments is moving through Congress.
The study’s focus was on the use of CT, MRI, ultrasound and x-ray imaging given the American hospital’s far greater capacity of scanners.
