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...
Radiation, in the form of waves or particles, is a type of energy that transfers from one location to another. Exposure to radiation is a common occurrence in our daily lives, with sources such as the sun, microwave ovens, and car radios being among the most recognized. While the majority of this...
The stability of a nucleus can be achieved through the emission of different types of particles or waves, resulting in various forms of radioactive decay and the production of ionizing radiation. Alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and neutrons are among the most frequently observed type...
A collaboration between Royal Philips and Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) proves that sustainable initiatives in health care can be both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
Today, the two parties revealed the first findings from their joint research effort aimed at reducing c...
