Retrofit Enables Cost-Effective Upgrade of Existing Mobile X-Ray Systems to Direct Radiography
A mobile retrofit system has been designed to be mounted on mobile X-ray systems to create an easy way for hospitals to go digital without having to replace existing mobile X-ray units. More...20 Aug 2014
Bone Suppression Software Used to Optimize Diagnostic Capability of X-Ray Systems
New bone suppression technology helps radiologists identify lung nodules and other serious medical conditions by converting a traditional chest X-ray into a soft tissue image without the ribs and clavicle bones. More...18 Aug 2014
Pelvic X-Ray May Not Be Required for Children with Blunt Torso Trauma
Pelvic X-rays routinely ordered for children who have suffered blunt force trauma do not effectively detect all instances of pelvic fractures or dislocations and are typically unwarranted for patients for whom abdominal/pelvic CT scanning is otherwise planned. More...17 Aug 2014
Identifying Bladder Cancer Patients Who Could Benefit from Tumor-Softening Treatment
British scientists have identified a protein that could help clinicians choose which bladder cancer patients could be better treated from a therapy that makes radiotherapy more effective, according to recent research. More...13 Aug 2014
Imaging, Genetic Testing Reveal that Tyrolean Iceman had Genetic Predisposition for Atherosclerosis
Although prevalence and types of risk factors for atherosclerosis have varied over time from ancient times to modern society, genetic predisposition/risk for the disorder now appears to be very similar to that in ancient times, according to new imaging and genetic findings gleaned from a 300-year-old glacier mummy.
