Amersham targets Alzheimer's disease

While high-resolution ultrasound offered nearly 10 percent higher specificity in the detection of upper extremity peripheral neuropathy, magnetic resonance neurography provided a nearly 23 percent higher sensitivity rate in a recent study.

In the third episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss the challenges of expanded breast cancer screening amid a backdrop of radiologist shortages and ever-increasing volume on radiology worklists.

Offering four key software-as-a-service features, the cloud-based enterprise imaging suite reportedly offers enhanced security and storage and facilitates streamlined radiology workflows.

In the second episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss recent studies published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that suggested moving to more of a risk-adapted model for mammography screening.

Ultra-high spatial resolution with photon-counting CT facilitated a 33 percent reduction in the assessment of median total plaque volume and a 45 percent higher inter-reader agreement for evaluation of low-attenuation plaque volume in contrast to energy-integrating detector (EID) CT.

In a comparison of contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CET1w) MRI (and T2-weighted MRI/FLAIR imaging, researchers found that only three out of 82 cases of glioma progression were solely detected with CET1w MRI.
