RadNet incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) into low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung cancer – advancing lung cancer detection at its earliest stages. LDCT screening for lung ...

Frankie Maldonado, the Director of Operations for Life Guard Imaging joins Gayle Guyardo, the host of Bloom, to talk about ...

The coronary calcium score may help doctors identify which patients truly benefit from statins—and who might not need them at ...

Distinct patterns on chest computed tomography (CT) scans among patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) are linked to varied ...

What if your old chest scans—taken years ago for something unrelated—held a secret warning about your heart? A new AI tool ...

“Using AI for tasks like CAC detection can help shift medicine from a reactive approach to the proactive prevention of disease,” said Dr. Hagopian. He pointed to the potential for fewer heart attacks, ...

Medical imaging scans that create detailed images of the body’s internal structures are widely used in medicine. Doctors need them to detect and manage certain types of cancer, assess the extent of ...

For example, low-dose chest CT scans performed for lung cancer screening use lower doses than multi-phase abdominal/pelvic CT scans that are required to stage a person with pancreatic cancer.

The researchers linked CT scans to the abdomen and pelvis to 37% of the radiation-induced cancer cases, while CT scans of the chest accounted for about 20% of the cases. The study demonstrates a ...

A CT scan is a type of imaging test that lets your doctor look inside your body. Remember, your doctor wants you to feel “prepared and comfortable for your exam,” Smith-Bindman said.

New research reveals CT scans may cause 5% of U.S. cancer cases annually. Learn the risks, who's most vulnerable, and how to protect yourself.

A new study suggests the cumulative effects of ionizing radiation from CT scans may raise a person's lifetime risk of developing cancer. Experts say CT-related cancer risk is minor, and note these ...
