Interventional Radiology Procedure Shown to Preserve Uterus in Women with Placenta Accreta
Researchers reported that a procedure can preserve fertility and potentially save the lives of women with a serious pregnancy complication called placenta accreta. New findings revealed that the positioning of balloons in the main artery of the mother’s pelvis before a Cesarean section protects against hemorrhage and is safe for both mother and baby.

Meniscal Knee Surgery May Lead to Arthritis and Cartilage Loss
A widely used surgical procedure to repair meniscal tears may increase the risk of osteoarthritis and cartilage loss in some patients, according to new research. In the study, 100% of knees that had undergone surgery went on to develop arthritis, compared to 59% of those that had meniscal damage but did not have surgery. More...28 Dec 2014
Spectral CT System Receives US Approval
A first-of-its kind computed tomography imaging technology provides anatomic data and the ability to characterize structures based on their material content within a single scan. The enhanced image quality should help enhance diagnostic effectiveness. More...24 Dec 2014
Many Chest X-Rays in Children Are Unnecessary
Researchers found that in some children who received chest X-rays, the screening may have been unnecessary and offered no clinical benefit. In addition, approximately 88% of pediatric X-rays for chest pain included in the study did not alter clinical treatment. More...23 Dec 2014
Digital Mammography Combined with Tomosynthesis Optimizes Detection of Cancer in Dense Breasts
A new study supports the effectiveness of three-dimensional mammography, which researchers found has the potential to considerably increase the rate of identifying cancer in women with dense breasts who are screened using the digital technology. More...22 Dec 2014
Even Mild Coronary Artery Disease Places Diabetic Patients at Risk for Heart Attacks
According to a new long-term cardiac imaging study, diabetic patients with even mild coronary artery disease are faced with the same comparative risk for a heart attack or other major adverse heart events as diabetics with serious single-vessel obstructive disease. Previously, these patients were believed to have a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and death than patients with obstructive CAD. More...22 Dec 2014
