Eye specialists `light up the brain` to understand sight defects
Eye specialists at the University of Leicester are using a new technique of ‘lighting up the brain’ to investigate and understand eye diseases. view more (2002-10-07)
Increase in the reliability of brain tumour diagnosis
A team of European researchers lead by Carles Ar'°s, professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have developed a system that facilitates the interpretation of magnetic resonance spectra of brain tumours and improves their diagnosis. It is a computer-based tool that... view more... (2004-02-09)
Cleveland Clinic leading clinical program to improve early-stage lung cancer detection
Cleveland Clinic and Riverain Medical today announced the establishment of the first study in an ongoing program to determine whether chest X-ray CAD (computer-aided detection) can improve practical early detection of lung cancer. view more (2007-11-27)
Oh, my aching back: Give me a shot of ozone
A minimally invasive interventional radiology treatment-that safely and effectively uses oxygen/ozone to relieve the pain of herniated disks-will become standard in the United States in the next few years, predict researchers at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 34th Annual Scientific Meeting. view more (2009-03-09)
Digital Mammography Plus Digital Breast Tomosynthesis May Decrease Patient Recall Rates
Nationally, about ten percent of women in the US are recalled for a second mammogram after an abnormality is detected on the first one-for most women this can be very stressful. view more (2009-08-06)
Low-Dose CT Method, Delivering 50% Less Radiation, Correctly Identifies Patients with Appendicitis
Patients with possible appendicitis are typically evaluated using a standard-dose contrast enhanced CT, but a low-dose unenhanced CT that delivers approximately 50% less radiation is just as effective, according to a study performed at the Seoul National University College of Medicine in Seoul, Korea. view more (2009-07-23)
MR imaging helps predict recurrence in prostate cancer patients
MR images taken of prostate cancer patients prior to treatment that show that the cancer has spread outside the prostate gland capsule help predict whether the cancer will return. view more (2007-05-07)
Radiologists Can Dramatically Lower Cardiac CT Radiation Dose in Some Patients
Radiologists can now lower the radiation dose delivered by cardiac CT angiography by 39% in adult patients weighing 185 pounds or less, according to a study performed at the University of Erlangen in Erlangen, Germany. view more (2009-04-06)
Patient Radiation Exposure During Interventional Procedures is a Concern for Some Developing Countries
Interventional radiology procedures are on the rise in developing countries and there is a significant need for optimization of these procedures to ensure patient safety. view more (2009-08-04)
CT better than plain radiographs in diagnosing lumbar spine fractures
Lumbar spine fractures in a majority of patients with trauma can be detected by routine trauma abdomen and pelvis CT compared to plain radiographs, according to a recent study conducted by radiologists at the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, OH. view more (2007-05-07)
spectroscopyNOW.com - New Proteomics and MRI Channels Launched
spectroscopyNOW.com, the first dedicated spectroscopy portal, is rapidly growing to meet the needs of the constantly expanding field of spectroscopy research. This month two new channels are launched extending the breadth of information provided by this indispensable landmark resource. view more (2002-02-13)
CT and ultrasound equally valuable in diagnosing pelvic pain in women
CT and ultrasound are both valuable first-line cross-sectional imaging tools to detect the cause of acute pelvic pain in non-pregnant women and the need for surgery in these patients, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Washington Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA. view more (2006-05-01)
Researchers Find a Way to Reduce Patient Radiation Dose During Pulmonary CT Angiography
While screening for possible pulmonary emboli using pulmonary CT angiography, a new study shows that radiologists can effectively lower the patient radiation dose by approximately 44% and improve vascular enhancement without deterioration of image quality. view more (2009-07-01)
'Seeing' stem cells helps in fight against peripheral arterial disease
Interventional radiologists are fitting together the puzzle pieces of how to use stem cells to create new or more blood vessels to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in those individuals with extensively narrowed or clogged arteries. view more (2009-03-10)
Simple test helps predict heart attack risk
The use of common and readily available screening tests-like the ankle brachial index (ABI)-along with traditional risk scoring systems-such as the Framingham Risk Score-has the potential to prevent devastating heart attacks in thousands of individuals who are not originally thought to be at high risk (according to Framingham alone), say... view more...

Study shows CT angiography can replace digital subtraction angiography
CT angiography (CTA) alone is an effective, noninvasive means to detect peripheral vascular disease. view more (2007-05-07)
Gamma Knife offers non-invasive treatment for vascular disorders, tumors in the brain
A week after graduating from high school, Katherine Coit had brain surgery to remove an abnormal tangle of blood vessels that were bleeding in her brain. view more (2006-09-08)
Surgical Removal of Small Colon Polyps is Costly and Unnecessary
Polypectomy (the surgical removal of polyps by colonoscopy) of small polyps found during CT colonography is costly and unnecessary according to a study performed at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, WI.

Allergic-like reactions occur in premedicated patients
Allergic-like reactions can occur in patients (both children and adults) when given gadolinium containing contrast agents, even if they have been pre-medicated with corticosteroids and antihistamines, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan Health Systems in Ann Arbor. view more (2008-02-11)
Cryoablation — A new treatment option for some kidney tumor patients
Mayo Clinic researchers report that freezing kidney tumors through percutaneous cryoablation shows promise for patients who are not good candidates for surgery. Their early findings showing short-term success in more than 90 percent of selected patients are published in this month's issue of Radiology. view more (2007-03-29)
