In the world of medical imaging, a new hero is emerging. This hero is called 68Ga-FAPI. It's better at finding trouble in the liver than the older hero, 18F-FDG. This is big news for people who have problems with their bile ducts. Recently, doctors saw this in action. A 38-year-old man came in with
PET radiotracers are making waves in the medical world, especially in cancer, brain, and heart studies. These special tools help doctors see what's happening inside the body at a tiny level. They are not just for looking at structures but also for understanding how diseases work and how treatments a
Hip pain is a common issue. Doctors often use X-rays to figure out what's going on. But not all X-ray techniques are the same. A recent study looked at two different ways to take X-rays of the pelvis. One method used a standard approach. The other let each X-ray technician decide how to do it. The
A Cleveland company and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) just got a big $2. 5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. This money will help them use AI to make medical research faster and more detailed. The team, led by CWRU professor Susann Brady-Kalnay and BioInVision Inc. , wa
Heart scans using MRI give doctors a clear look at the heart's structure. This helps in spotting heart problems early. But, making these scans work well with computers needs lots of labeled data. Labeling data is a big job. It takes time and effort. A new method called PDFMSeg changes this. It uses
A young girl, just two years old, faced a health puzzle. She had Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, a condition that can sometimes lead to tumors. Doctors found a suspicious spot on her left adrenal gland. To figure out what it was, they used a special scan called 18F-FDG PET/CT. This scan showed that th
Medical imaging has seen huge changes in the last 25 years. It's not just about looking inside the body. It's about understanding what's happening in there. This tech has changed how doctors work. In the past, doctors had to guess a lot. They used their hands and simple tools. Now, they can see ins
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common issue that many people face as they age. It can be tough to spot in its early stages, but a new tech approach is changing the game. This method uses something called deep contrastive learning to look at X-ray images and find signs of KOA more accurately. The go
Doctors deal with a lot of X-ray images. They need to spot new diseases. But they also need to remember old ones. This is tricky. It's like trying to learn a new language while not forgetting your mother tongue. Computers face the same problem. They can learn new things. But they often forget old in
Breast density can make it tough to spot cancer on mammograms. That's why researchers decided to compare two methods: the usual mammogram and a newer one called contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM). They wanted to see if CESM could handle dense breasts better. Dense breasts have more gland
