A new study titled “Utilizing Pix-2-Pix GAN for Deep Learning-Based Whole-Body PSMA PET/CT Attenuation Correction” was recently published in Volume 15 of Oncotarget on May 7, 2024.
The radiation exposure from sequential PET/CT studies in oncology patient follow-up is a concern....
CT and MRI use different techniques to show different things – neither is necessarily “better” than the other.
Some injuries or conditions can be seen with the naked eye. Others require a deeper understanding.
If your health care provider suspects a condition such as internal ...
If a person is injured while exercising, their healthcare practitioner will order an X-ray. An MRI may be needed if it is severe. However, some patients are so anxious that they desperately need someone who can explain in detail what this type of test entails and what they can expect.
Understanda...
The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) data indicates that computed tomography (CT) scans can lower lung cancer mortality by 20 percent in comparison to chest X-rays. A fresh examination of the data indicates that it might also be economically viable.
Historically, lung cancer screening...
MRI systems are so powerful and require so much infrastructure that, until recently, they required their own dedicated rooms.
A portable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system or Point of Care (POC) MRI machine is a compact mobile device designed for imaging patients outside of traditional MRI k...
Medical imaging examination is a “fierce eye” for insight into the human body. But when it comes to X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine, many people will have questions: Will there be radiation during the examination? Will it cause any harm to the body? Pregnant women, i...
A virtual meeting held by the International Atomic Energy Agency this week discussed progress made in reducing radiation-related risks while maintaining benefits for patients who require frequent medical imaging. Participants discussed the impact and concrete actions needed to strengthen patient ...
In the previous article, we discussed the considerations related to getting a CT scan, and this article will continue to discuss other issues related to getting a CT scan to help you get the most comprehensive information.
When will we know the results of the CT scan?
It usually takes about 24 ...
A CT (computed tomography) scan is an imaging test that helps health care providers detect disease and injury. It uses a series of X-rays and computers to create detailed images of bone and soft tissue. CT scans are painless and non-invasive. You may go to the hospital or imaging center for a CT ...
Recently, the new interventional operating room of Zhucheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has been officially put into operation. A large digital angiography machine (DSA) has been added – the latest generation of bidirectional moving seven-axis floor-standing ARTIS one X angiograph...
Ulrich Medical, a German medical device manufacturer, and Bracco Imaging have formed a strategic cooperation agreement. This agreement will see Bracco distributing an MRI contrast media injector in the U.S. as soon as it becomes commercially available.
With the finalization of the distribution ag...
According to a recent meta-analysis, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) provide similar detection rates in diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa) recurrence.
The researchers found that prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA...
