The heart and kidneys appear in their true surroundings in this fusion of science and art composed by scientist turned photojournalist Andrew Tsiaras.
The heart and kidneys appear in their true surroundings in this fusion of science and art composed by scientist turned photojournalist Andrew Tsiaras. The images were shown in the Philips Medical Systems booth during the RSNA meeting as tools to help physicians communicate with their patients. (These and other images have also been exhibited and published in books for the general public.) The images are based initially on data sets acquired using Philips CT scanners and processed into 3D, but the finished product definitely does not come from these modalities. Tsiaras and his team at Anatomical Travelogue use the volumetric models as their electronic canvases, painting pseudorealistic landscapes of the inner body-inserting plaques into coronaries, ballooning the carotid into an aneurysm ready to burst-always basing their work on documented gross pathologies. The goal, according to Tsiaras, is to bring the effect of poor health habits to the minds of viewers and, maybe, in the process, effect a change for the better.

Study Shows Enhanced Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Stenosis with Photon-Counting CTA
July 10th 2025In a new study comparing standard resolution and ultra-high resolution modes for patients undergoing coronary CTA with photon-counting detector CT, researchers found that segment-level sensitivity and accuracy rates for diagnosing coronary artery stenosis were consistently > 89.6 percent.
Considering Breast- and Lesion-Level Assessments with Mammography AI: What New Research Reveals
June 27th 2025While there was a decline of AUC for mammography AI software from breast-level assessments to lesion-level evaluation, the authors of a new study, involving 1,200 women, found that AI offered over a seven percent higher AUC for lesion-level interpretation in comparison to unassisted expert readers.
