Samsung Gets FDA Nod for Versatile V7 Ultrasound System
Offering uniform high-resolution images through a combination of beamforming and enhanced image processing, the new ultrasound platform reportedly has an array of diagnostic features ranging from cardiovascular applications to breast lesion assessment.
Could the New Stratus Imaging PACS Viewer Help Streamline Radiology Workflows?
Offering a variety of features to enhance efficiency, bolster security and reduce IT overhead, the cloud-native SaaS platform may help radiologists minimize workflow issues that can impede practices with high imaging volume.
New Study Suggests Lung-Related Comorbidities Have No Impact on Lung Cancer Detection
Comparing patients with and without comorbidities ranging from emphysema and tuberculosis to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), researchers found that cancer detection rates and false-positive rates remained similar in lung cancer screening.
Study: Deep Learning System is Comparable to Radiologist Assessment of Chest X-Rays for Tuberculosis
Examining imaging data of patients from multiple countries, researchers found that a deep learning system demonstrated higher sensitivity and non-inferior specificity for detecting active tuberculosis on chest radiographs in comparison to nine radiologist reviewers.
Will a New Spectral CT Imaging Suite Reinvent Interventional Radiology?
Amid emerging research showing the benefits of spectral computed tomography (CT) imaging in interventional radiology, the newly launched Phillips Spectral Angio CT Suite may provide enhanced efficiencies in care for stroke, oncology, and trauma patients.
Emerging AI CT Tool May Provide Viable Complement to Lung-RADS Classification
Researchers suggest that an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered risk stratification tool for lung nodules identified on computed tomography (CT) scans may identify likely malignancies more than one year prior to definitive diagnosis.
Study Suggests AI is Superior to Sonographer Assessment of Heart Function on Echocardiograms
In comparison to initial sonographer assessment of echocardiograms, cardiologists are over 10 percent less likely to change initial artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), according to new research recently presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
Addressing the Digital Divide with Annual Mammography Exams
In a new study of over 7,200 women with no history of breast cancer, researchers found that women who scheduled health-care appointments online were more likely to have annual mammography exams but only 18 percent of the study population scheduled appointments online.
Screening Mammography and Breast Arterial Calcification: What a New Study Reveals
Emerging research suggests a higher prevalence of positive breast arterial calcification (BAC) rates among Hispanic and Black women, and a lower rate of BAC in women with dense breasts or breast implants.
Is CT Imaging Overutilized in the ER?
Emerging research findings suggest the use of single-encounter thoraco-abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) per 1,000 trauma-related emergency department (ED) visits more than quadrupled for minor injuries and more than doubled for intermediate injuries from 2011 to 2018.
What a New Study Reveals About MRI-Guided Use Of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography
Researchers found the combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced mammography was nearly 22 percent more effective at detecting breast lesions than MRI-directed ultrasound.
