Lung cancer screening has some new rules. The Lung-RADS system got an update in 2022. This update changed how doctors handle certain findings on lung scans. Before, they might label something as 4B, which could mean more tests. Now, they use 0 for some cases, which might mean less stress. The study
Prostate cancer diagnosis has a problem. Different doctors often see the same MRI scans and come to different conclusions. This inconsistency can lead to wrong diagnoses. To tackle this, researchers looked into how artificial intelligence (AI) can help. Six radiologists from around the world took p
Doctors often treat liver and spleen injuries with care. These organs are soft and can be easily damaged in accidents. Sometimes, problems show up later. A recent study looked at whether checking these organs again with scans helps find issues that can be fixed. The study focused on moderate to sev
Researchers wanted to make MRI scans better for looking at female pelvic organs. They used a special 3D technique called T2-weighted imaging with something called variable refocusing angle (VRFA). The goal was to find the best settings for clear and detailed images. First, they tested different set
Diagnosing a condition called primary aldosteronism (PA) can be tricky. Right now, doctors use methods that are either not very accurate or involve invasive procedures. This is where a new idea comes in: creating special tracers for imaging that can target a specific protein, CYP11B2, which is more
Knee injuries are a common issue, and figuring out how bad they are is crucial for treatment. Two main ways to look inside the knee are MRI and a special type of CT scan called weight-bearing CT arthrography (WBCTa). This study wanted to see how well MRI does at spotting cartilage damage compared to
Breast imaging has come a long way, and new tech is making it even better. Traditional methods like dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI have been the go-to for checking breast lesions, but they have some issues. They take a long time, cost a lot, and sometimes lead to unnecessary biopsies because th
People often skip important medical scans because they worry about radiation. This fear might stop them from catching diseases early. But there's no good way to measure this fear. So, researchers made a new tool called the Fear of Medical Imaging Radiation Scale (FOMIRS). They wanted to see how well
Scientists have made a big leap in medical imaging. They've found a way to use super-strong magnets to look inside the body like never before. These magnets, called 7 Tesla MRI machines, are like superheroes. They can take pictures of the insides of the body and also measure important stuff, like so
Hip abductor tendon tears are a significant issue, especially among older women. These injuries can vary widely, from being an unexpected finding during imaging to a gradual, painless deterioration over time. Sometimes, they even happen as a result of hip replacement surgery. Doctors use X-rays and
