Evaluating the Benefits of Integrating Angiographic Imaging Capabilities in a Hybrid Operating Suite
Many hospitals world-wide are considering investing in hybrid operating suites that integrate angiographic imaging with surgical techniques. Institutions that could benefit most from a hybrid suite include university hospitals, large hospitals, and those specialized in vascular surgery. More...21 Jan 2015
International Trial Shows Non-Contrast Renal MRA Accurate in Detecting Renal Artery Stenosis
Since a US Food and Drug Administration warning in 2006 about the risks associated with the use of gadolinium-containing contrast agents in patients with acute renal failure, chronic kidney disease, or end-stage renal disease, companies have been trying to develop Magnetic Resonance Angiography techniques that do not rely on contrast agents.

Electromagnetic Positioning and Real-Time Surface Tracking System for Radiotherapy Approved for Use in Europe
An electromagnetic positioning and real-time surface transmitter can be used anywhere on the outside of the body, where motions during radiation treatment needs to be detected or monitored. An example for use of the device is during respiratory motions, which are important to monitor during radiotherapy of, for instance, left-sided breast cancer. More...14 Jan 2015
Radiologist Recommendations for Chest CT Scanning Offer Important Findings
A significant proportion of patients who receive radiologist recommendations for undergoing chest computed tomography scanning to evaluate abnormal findings on outpatient chest X-rays have clinically relevant findings, including cancer, according to a new research. The investigators have reported that the findings demonstrate that radiologist recommendations for additional imaging after chest X-rays represent valuable contributions to patient care.
