Both MRIs and CT scans are used to create pictures of your organs to help doctors discover and diagnose potentials issues. The main difference between these two sophisticated imaging techniques is that CT (computed tomography) scans use X-rays while MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) use radio waves. Both of them create detailed images of inner tissues

Ultrasound Measures Risk of Pulmonary Edema from Preeclampsia

A lung ultrasound could help physicians quickly determine whether a pregnant woman with preeclampsia is at risk of respiratory failure, according to preliminary research published in Anesthesiology. About 60,000 women worldwide die as a result of preeclampsia, which causes severely high blood pressure. Potential complications include stroke, bleeding, and pulmonary edema, which can lead to

Breast Imagers Assess MBI’s Role in Cancer Detection

As dense breast tissue notification laws expand and draw media coverage, the role of molecular breast imaging (MBI) also is drawing more attention in breast cancer detection. New research looking at everything from lesion detection rates to specificity and dose reductions is helping breast imagers define MBI’s place in the rotation of adjunct breast imaging

Breast Imaging

Nonscreened Patients With Breast Cancer Need More Treatment Than Screened Patients Screening women aged 40 to 49 for breast cancer has additional benefits beyond the proven decrease in mortality rate, according to researchers at Case Western Reserve University. Patients screened with mammography are statistically less likely to undergo chemotherapy, avoiding the associated toxic morbidities. Screening

Assessing Consciousness in Patients With Brain Damage

PET is a promising tool for determining which severely brain-damaged individuals in a vegetative state could potentially recover consciousness, according to new research published in The Lancet. It’s the first time that researchers have tested the diagnostic accuracy of functional brain imaging techniques in clinical practice. “Our findings suggest that PET imaging can reveal cognitive

Plaque Analysis May Improve Risk Assessment

Quantitative plaque analysis using cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) provides an accurate assessment of arterial plaque and could dramatically impact the management of patients with diabetes who face a high risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events, according to new research. Plaque that forms in the arterial walls can restrict blood flow and, in some
