AI Shows Promising Results for Cancer Detection with Mammographic Screening

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has shown encouraging results for cancer detection, but evidence related to its use in real screening settings is limited. Now, a major new study has shown that AI is a promising tool for breast cancer detection in screening mammography programs. More...

AI-Enabled Tool Predicts Heart Attacks by Measuring Coronary Plaque Buildup in CTA Images

Investigators have created an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tool that accurately predicts which patients would experience a heart attack in five years based on the amount and composition of plaque in arteries that supply blood to the heart. More...

New Quantitative Imaging Markers Could Improve Cancer Detection, Diagnosis and Treatment

Medical imaging is an essential tool to help doctors and scientists assess the size and scope of a tumor that will be effectively removed by surgery, as well as the rate at which tumors shrink in response to medical interventions such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Researchers are now investigating multiple avenues, including the development of quantitative imaging markers, to help improve medical imaging use in cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment.

AI Tool Accurately and Consistently Classifies Breast Density on Mammograms

Breast density reflects the amount of fibroglandular tissue in the breast commonly seen on mammograms. High breast density is an independent breast cancer risk factor, and its masking effect of underlying lesions. Now, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can accurately and consistently classify breast density on mammograms. More...

AI-Based Analysis of Expiratory Chest CT Images of Post-COVID Patients Shows Evidence of Small Airways Disease

Early reports indicate that more than 50% of adult survivors of SARS-CoV-2 infection experience post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), more commonly known as “long COVID.” Respiratory symptoms, including cough and dyspnea, are reported by nearly 30% of patients with long COVID, including those who experienced mild infection. Now, a new study has found air trapping, indicative of small airways disease, in patients with lingering respiratory symptoms after COVID-19 infection. More...

Novel Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) Imaging Method Could Significantly Reduce Scan Times

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is an imaging method based on X-ray images which are reconstructed to form a three-dimensional image of the internal structure of samples with small dimensions. Researchers in biomedical physics and biology have significantly improved micro-CT, more specifically imaging with phase contrast and high brilliance X-ray radiation. More...

Mobile CT Scanner with Photon Counting Detector Expands Diagnostic Possibilities at Patient’s Bedside

NeuroLogica Corp. (Danvers, MA, USA), the U.S. healthcare subsidiary of Samsung (Suwon-si, South Korea), has received 510(k) clearance for the addition of Photon Counting Detector (PCD) technology to its state-of-the-art OmniTom Elite CT scanner. With this, NeuroLogica delivers the first FDA 510(k) cleared, single-source photon counting CT scanner with single detector on a mobile system. OmniTom Elite with PCD can generate spectral CT images at multiple energy levels. More...
