Robot-Assisted Needle Positioning in CT-Guided Procedures Improves Accuracy
During procedures requiring needle positioning, robot assistance results in fewer adjustments in comparison to freehand techniques, even for seasoned interventional radiologists, according to the findings of a study. More...07 Mar 2023
First Intravascular Imaging System Combines Critically Important Imaging Technologies to Optimize Coronary Stent Placement
A novel intravascular imaging system now combines next-generation DeepOCT images and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with state-of-the-art ease of use to support physicians optimizing coronary stenting in the cardiac catheterization lab. More...07 Mar 2023
Existing Chest CT Scans Can Predict Risk of Heart Attack or Death during Major Surgeries
Major surgeries, which generally involve vital organs, increase the risk for heart attack, stroke, and death in patients. A new study has found that rather than using special heart scans, physicians can utilize images of the chest captured months earlier, and for other reasons, to measure a patient’s risk of heart attack or death during major surgeries. More...06 Mar 2023
Next-Generation Artificial Intelligence to Improve Medical Imaging Diagnostics
Despite the remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), studies have found that it may not be able to improve the accuracy of medical diagnoses. The University of Houston has been awarded a grant from the National Cancer Institute for their project of creating a new artificial intelligence (AI) system that will focus on improving diagnostics for lung cancer. More...01 Mar 2023
