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.

MRI and CT Predicts Flap Failure After Head and Neck Reconstructive Cancer Surgery
When a patient with head and neck cancer has surgery to remove it, they often need reconstructive surgery in the form of a “free flap”, which is skin and tissue taken from a different part of the body and connected to the blood vessels of the wound in need of repair. Now, a study has found that early postoperative CT scans and MRIs can help predict whether a flap will fail, which could allow surgeons to intervene earlier. More...24 Jun 2022

SPECT Imaging Technology Shortens Cardiac Scan Time
A cardiac SPECT imaging system uses self-collimation to perform cardiac scans 10 to 100 times faster than current SPECT systems, dramatically shortening scan time, generating better quality images, increasing patient throughput, and reducing radiation exposure to patients. More...16 Jun 2022
