ORLANDO -- Sonographers on Earth can take a page or two from astronauts who use ultrasound in space, according to presentations given at the 2025 American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) annual convention. In their talks, Leroy Chiao, PhD, andScott Dulchavsky, MD, PhD, from Henry Ford Health in Detroit, Michigan discussed ultrasounds utility in micro-gravity environments such as aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
In this previous post about breast imaging , we briefly touched on the soon-to-be-growing-and-maybe-even-critical problem of automation bias in radiology caused by the growing use of AI. We see similar findings in this study evaluating AI-assisted detection of cerebral aneurysms : Results False-positive AI results led to significantly higher suspicion of aneurysm findings (p=0.01).
If you read my article on using Autohotkey for radiology , I describe that I use a click-lock script to simulate holding down the left mouse button. This allows me to power-scroll by using a single keystroke (in my case, backslash) to toggle scrolling on/off instead of needing to hold the mouse in a death grip for hours a day (which is a great way to destroy your wrist): ;toggle holding down the left mouse button :: alt := not alt if (alt) { Click Down } else { Click Up } Return If you also happ
Renaissance Imaging Medical Associates, a California-based Rad Partners affiliate, allegedly created false radiology reports supporting the diagnosis of spinal enthesopathy.
Amidst rising cancer prevalence and soaring costs, new cancer technologies and innovations are emerging to support the early detection, treatment, and surveillance of cancer. Read this guide to understand how to evaluate these solutions for your employees and members – and to learn more about the current state of coverage, clinical and cost effectiveness, and impact on quality and outcomes.
Scientists have confirmed a neurobiochemical link between dopamine and cognitive flexibility. PET imaging shows that the brain increases dopamine production when completing cognitively demanding tasks, and that the more dopamine released, the more efficiently the tasks are completed. Armed with this information, physicians may soon be able to develop more precise treatment strategies for neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Novartis has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for earlier use of Pluvicto to treat patients with advanced prostate cancer. The new indication approximately triples the eligible patient population, allowing Pluvicto to be used after one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) treatment and now prior to chemotherapy, Novartis said in a statement.
Though rare, some reactions can be life-threatening, making the understanding of how to appropriately manage them a critical aspect of a technologist's responsibilities.
Introduction: In this episode of Rebel Cast, host Marco Propersi, along with co-hosts Steve Hockman and Kim Baldino, delve into the practice and importance of street medicinethe direct delivery of healthcare to homeless and unsheltered individuals. Special guests Dr. Jim O’Connell, a pioneer of street medicine, and Dr. Ed Egan, a recent street medicine fellowship graduate, share their experiences and insights on serving this vulnerable population.
Patient-centric scheduling can only be achieved through optimized radiology workflows, effective communications between staff and physicians, and, of course, through specialized schedulers. In this guide, we’ll take you through a step-by-step process to transform your radiology center into a high-performance hub of medical imaging.
A select group of eight radionuclides holds hope for an emerging cancer treatment in nuclear medicine called targeted alpha therapy (TAT). While treatments that employ beta-emitting radionuclides such as lutetium-177 have reached the market and are being used for prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors , cancer treatments that use alpha emitters are in various stages of development, from preclinical studies to phase III trials.
The number of machine learning- and AI-powered medical devices approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has increased significantly in recent years. In 2024, the FDA approved nearly 1,000 AI medical devices compared to just 221 in 2023. The increase could transform the healthcare industry by giving practitioners access to more diagnostics and treatment options that lead to better patient outcomes.
About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.
The Medicare reimbursement rates for 2025 remain unchanged as a result of the Continuing Resolution (CR) passed by Congress and signed on March 15. Thus, the downward spiral of Medicare reimbursement continues with physicians receiving nominally 2.83% less this year than in 2024. Radiology practices will see somewhat different results depending on their practice pattern, as we reported in our recent article analyzing the real impact of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS).
Excess imaging translates to "significant"carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to a study published March 28 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. How significant? Up to 129 kilotons of emissions annually -- the same as would be produced from powering a town of more than 70,000 people for a year, according to a statement released by the Harvey L.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the U.S. (skin cancers are first), accounting for around 30% of all new female cancers yearly. 1 And 2025 will be no exception. The American Cancer Society estimates nearly 317,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer and about 59,000 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), with more than 42,000 estimated deaths. 1 So, how are these cancers detected?
Discover how Color's comprehensive care solution is revolutionizing cancer screening adherence and knowledge. Through an in-depth case study, Color's unique approach to comprehensive cancer care has shown significant benefits in increasing screening rates and enhancing patient knowledge. Participants reported a 2-3x increase in adherence to screening guidelines over just 8 weeks, with 84% of participants increasing their familiarity with timing and frequency of cancer screening.
Advanced Visualisation in Radiology enhances anatomical insight, supports surgical planning, and improves both diagnosis and patient communication. The post Advanced Visualisation in Radiology: Transforming Medical Imaging with 3D, VR, and AR appeared first on Open MedScience.
A significant percentage of imaging studies ordered by office-based healthcare providers are self-interpreted rather than referred to radiologists for reading, according to researchers from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute (HPI). An HPI team found that 43.6% of office-based studies were interpreted by the ordering provider, and 58.5% were interpreted within the ordering provider's practice -- results that could have negative ramifications for patient care, according to study coauthor
Some really good follows on the Imaging Wire’s 2025 list of Top 40 Radiology Resources. I’ll happily accept the description of “excellent insights into the vagaries of being a working radiologist.” The post Top 40 Radiology Resources first appeared on Ben White.
Explore the latest insights from the American Cancer Society's “Cancer Statistics 2024” report, which unveils multiple alarming trends in cancer data. Cancer is on the rise among young adults, and diagnoses for 6 of the 10 most common cancers are escalating. With over 2 million new cancer cases projected in the U.S. this year, employers face increased challenges when it comes to supporting employees.
The past decade has seen a major drive to get more people into STEM careers. The main challenge in expanding the STEM workforce isn’t a lack of interest; it’s the way STEM is portrayed. Many people see it as an exclusive field, accessible only to a select few. But in reality, STEM is all around us, embedded in almost every job and industry.
