AI Software Provides Early, Rapid and Precise Triaging of Acute Stroke Patients Using CT Scans
An AI-based medical imaging software that provides early, automated detection of large vessel occlusions (LVOs), both hyperdense and not, on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) images, could assist in emergency settings for the benefit of acute stroke patients. More...27 Feb 2023


Radiomics Model Predicts Heart Attacks From CT Images
Researchers now using an approach called radiomics that can generate quantitative data from CT scans in order to detect underlying characteristics that are not normally visible in the images. This data can be used to predict future cardiac events such as heart attacks. More...15 Feb 2023

Antibacterial ‘Smart Stitches’ Reveal Location of Sutured Area in CT Scans
Surgical site infections are among the most common medical infections and occur in 2 to 4% of patients following surgery, although the infection rate can be much higher for some procedures, such as vaginal mesh implants to treat prolapse, infection. Now, a new antimicrobial suture material that glows in medical imaging offers a promising alternative for mesh implants and internal stitches. More...10 Feb 2023

Low-Dose Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) Could Improve Cancer Detection in Dense Breast Tissue
Two new research programs will aim to further develop low-dose molecular breast imaging (MBI) technology based on cadmium zinc telluride CZT-based SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography) detector technology. CZT creates much clearer images and requires far lower radiation doses to do so, than comparable detectors, enabling the solution to deliver eight times less radiation than existing MBI technology. More...02 Feb 2023

New Brain PET Scanner Corrects Blurring in Images Caused by Body Motion
Ordinary brain PET (positron emission tomography) scanners are unable to accurately measure the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals in the brain if the patients move their head during the examination process. Now, a newly-developed brain PET scanner that corrects the blurring in PET images caused by body motion of the examined subject could solve this problem. More...24 Jan 2023
