New PET/MR Imaging Technique Could be a Game Changer for Treatment of Crohn's Disease
Currently, no imaging procedure allows for therapy-relevant differentiation between intestinal wall inflammation and fibrosis. Now, a new imaging technique may enhance the treatment of intestinal strictures in patients with Crohn's disease. More...12 Apr 2023

AI Reduces CT Turnaround and Wait Times for Positive Pulmonary Embolus
A new study has found that utilizing AI-driven worklist reprioritization led to shorter report turnaround time and waiting periods for acute pulmonary embolism (PE)-positive CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) examinations. More...10 Apr 2023

Breakthrough AI Platform Predicts Likelihood of Lung Cancer by Analyzing CT Scans
There is a need for an effective strategy to identify more small, pre-symptomatic lung cancers early on in patients who incidentally have a lung nodule detected during chest CT scans ordered for other purposes, such as emergency room or cardiac scans. A new AI tool now allows pulmonologists to identify and track patients with suspicious lung nodules and make informed decisions regarding clinical management. More...30 Mar 2023

Molecular Imaging Offers Insight into Chemotherapy-Related Cognitive Impairment
New research findings have highlighted the role of nuclear medicine brain imaging in assessing the biological changes that cause chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment. With this knowledge, patients can gain a better understanding of the changes in their cognitive status during and after treatment. More...30 Mar 2023

Asymptomatic, CT Angiography-Detected CAD Linked to 8-Fold Higher Heart Attack Risk
A new study on a cohort of over 9,000 individuals has found that subclinical, obstructive coronary atherosclerosis is linked to more than an eight-fold increased risk of myocardial infarction in asymptomatic middle-aged individuals without any known cardiovascular disease. More...29 Mar 2023

PSMA PET Aids Decision Making in Prostate Cancer Treatment
A recent study utilizing detailed PSMA PET mapping of cancer recurrence in the prostate bed has revealed that the current radiotherapy contouring guidelines miss a significant number of lesions and may result in unnecessary irradiation of healthy tissues. More...28 Mar 2023

AI Algorithm Flags and Triages Suspected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms from CTA Images
A novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm flags and triages suspected cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), facilitating healthcare providers in swiftly identifying and detecting individuals with AAA, while also automatically directing those at imminent risk of rupture for further evaluation and care. More...23 Mar 2023
