AdvaMed, the medical technology association, announced the formation of a new Medical Imaging Technologies division dedicated to advocating on behalf of companies large and small on the important role medical imaging technologies, radiopharmaceuticals, contrast agents and focused ultrasound devic...
Healthcare professionals and patients depend on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT scan technology to analyze soft tissues and organs in the body, detecting a range of issues from degenerative diseases to tumors in a non-invasive manner. The MRI machine utilizes a powerful magnetic field and...
Here, we’ll briefly delve into three trends that are enhancing medical imaging technologies, and consequently, diagnostics, patient outcomes, and healthcare accessibility. To illustrate these trends, we’ll use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which utilizes radio frequency (RF) signa...
In the medical imaging department, there are often some patients with MRI (MR) “emergency list” to do the examination, and say that they need to do it immediately. For this emergency, the imaging doctor often says, “Please make an appointment first”. What is the reason?
F...
As the aging population, emergency departments are increasingly handling a greater number of elderly individuals who falls. Falling on even ground, such as in one’s home, is frequently a leading factor in causing a brain hemorrhage. While computed tomography (CT) scans of the head are frequ...
The previous article briefly introduced the difference between X-ray and CT examination, and let’s then talked about another question that the public is more concerned about at present – why can chest CT become the main physical examination item?
It is believed that many people have ...
The purpose of this article is to discuss the three types of medical imaging procedures that are often confused by the general public, X-ray, CT, and MRI.
Low radiation dose–X-ray
How did the X-ray get its name?
That takes us back 127 years to November. The German physicist Wilhelm ...
We all know that medical imaging examinations, including X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, nuclear medicine and X-rays, are important auxiliary means of diagnostic evaluation and play an important role in identifying chronic diseases and combating the spread of diseases. Of course, the same applies to wom...
In recent years, the incidence of various cardiovascular diseases has increased significantly. We often hear that people around us have undergone cardiac angiography. So, who needs to undergo cardiac angiography?
1. What is cardiac angiography?
Cardiac angiography is performed by puncturing the r...
With the improvement of people’s health awareness and the widespread use of low-dose spiral CT in general physical examinations, more and more pulmonary nodules are discovered during physical examinations. However, the difference is that for some people, doctors will still recommend the pat...
Traditional medical imaging, used to diagnose, monitor or treat certain diseases, has long struggled to get clear images of dark-skinned patients, experts say.
Researchers have announced that they have discovered a method to improve medical imaging, allowing doctors to observe the inside of the ...
Since their origins in the 1960s to the 1980s, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT) scans, and positron emission tomography (PET) scans have undergone significant advancements. These non-invasive medical imaging tools have continued to evolve with the integration of arti...
