Pre-Surgery Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Sarcoma Patients Reduces Long-Term Side Effects
Soft Tissue Sarcomas are relatively rare but deadly cancerous tumors of fat, muscles, nerves, tendons, blood vessels, or connective tissues. Standard treatment includes radiotherapy of the sarcoma which may result in damage to healthy tissue and long-term side effects. More...15 Feb 2015
Mobile Healthcare Imaging Solution for Patients in Rural Kenya
In Kenya less than 200 radiologists serve a population of 43 million. X-Ray equipment and facilities are scarce, and are located in the urban centers such as Nairobi, the capital city, leaving the rural population without access to medical imaging. More...08 Feb 2015
Sharp Increase in Advanced Imaging Exams and Referrals for Patients with Headaches
Medical guidelines in the United States recommend lifestyle counseling as preferred treatment for patients complaining of headaches. However, despite this advice, a study published in the January 8, 2015, issue of Journal of General Internal Medicine has found a sharp increase in prescriptions of preventive medications, referrals to other doctors, and for Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Using Multiplanar Reconstructions to Predict Rupture of an Abdominal Aorta Aneurism
Rupture of an aneurism of the abdominal aorta is often fatal. Signs of frank rupture are clearly identifiable in Multidetector Computed Tomographic images, but an impending rupture is not as obvious. A rupture can lead to hemorrhage, limb or organ ischemia, or even death of the patient. More...02 Feb 2015
Base of the Pyramid Digital Imaging System Built for Novel Telemedicine Applications
The remote Bayalpata Hospital in the mountains of Western Nepal has set up a system that will allow their physicians to digitize and send X-ray images to physicians in Grande hospital in Kathmandu for viewing and remote consultation. More...27 Jan 2015
Reprogramming Stem Cells May Suppress Cancer after Radiotherapy
The body has developed strategies of purging defective stem cells. A new study has revealed that one of these ways is a “program” that makes stem cells damaged by radiation differentiate into other cells that can no longer survive forever. More...27 Jan 2015
