Next-Gen MEG Scanners Worn as Helmet Could Detect Brain Abnormalities at POC
Scientists have developed a laser-based diamond sensor that can measure magnetic fields up to 10 times more precisely than standard techniques. The innovation could help improve on existing magnetic-field sensing techniques for mapping brain activity to identify disorders. More...19 Jul 2022



‘Covid Computer’ Uses AI to Detect COVID-19 from Chest CT Scans
A new AI software analyses chest CT scans and uses deep learning algorithms to accurately diagnose the disease. With an accuracy rate of 97.86%, it is currently the most successful COVID-19 diagnostic tool in the world. More...04 Jul 2022
Mobile Open-Bore Fluoroscopy CT Scanner Enables Full-Body Imaging at POC
A new open-bore fluoroscopy computed tomography (CT) scanner for full-body point-of-care (POC) imaging can reduce transport risks to patients, improve accessibility to patient CT scans in limited spaces, and improve throughput for radiology departments. More...01 Jul 2022


Chest CT Scans of COVID-19 Patients Could Help Distinguish Between SARS-CoV-2 Variants
A new study has found that the SARS-COV-2 Omicron variant is associated with fewer and less severe changes on chest CT compared with the Delta variant. The study also found that patients with Omicron had greater frequency of bronchial wall thickening but lower clinical severity and improved hospital outcomes than those with Delta. More...28 Jun 2022
