While radiologists interpreted approximately 99 percent of all non-cardiac CT, MRI and nuclear medicine studies in hospital and emergency department settings for Medicare beneficiaries, new research shows significantly less radiologist review of cardiac imaging and office-based imaging.

Out of 315 patients identified by artificial intelligence (AI) as being at high risk for osteoporosis, subsequent screening with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a randomized controlled trial revealed new-onset osteoporosis in 237 patients.

The second-generation version of the VUZE System reportedly offers expanded functionality and incorporation of varied sources of 3D imaging data, including cone-beam CT scans obtained in the OR.

In addition to advanced imaging quality and dose efficiency, the Philips Zenition 30 mobile C-arm device emphasizes personalized user profiles and automated customization to help reduce procedure time.

Leveraging artificial intelligence, the Rho software assessment of X-rays may allow earlier detection of bone loss.

Employing reconstructed radiographs from 3D hip CT scans, a deep learning model demonstrated a higher concordance index (C index) and higher two- and three-year AUCs than multiple imaging models and three clinical models for predicting subsequent fracture risk in patients with hip fractures.

In addition to high-quality X-ray and fluoroscopic images, the DRX-Excel Plus X-ray System provides automated filter selection, grid parking and positioning of table axes.
