1. What are contrast high-pressure injectors and what are they used for?
In general, contrast agent high-pressure injectors are used to enhance blood and perfusion within the tissue by injecting a contrast agent or contrast media. They are commonly used in diagnostic and interventional radiolog...
When someone has a stroke, the timing of medical help is critical. The quicker the treatment, the better the patient’s chance of making a full recovery. But doctors need to know which type of stroke to treat. For example, thrombolytic drugs break up blood clots and can help treat strokes th...
At the Australian Society for Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy (ASMIRT) conference in Darwin this week, Women’s Diagnostic Imaging (difw) and Volpara Health have jointly announced significant progress in the application of artificial intelligence to mammography quality assurance. Over the c...
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 ...
