What many of them can't do is describe a torn anterior cruciate ligament or plantar fasciitis. The founder of a new website, InsideInjuries.com, hopes to change that -- and in the process help educate the public about radiology.October 14, 2013Nuclear MedicineBetter training key to unlocking molecular imaging's potentialMolecular imaging has vast potential to improve healthcare in the coming years by allowing more directed, personalized therapy. But molecular imaging's contribution may be limited until more imaging specialists are trained to interpret scans acquired with the new types of tracers being developed.October 10, 2013MRIPreoperative MRI may clarify use of radical trachelectomyBy measuring the distance between a tumor and a woman's internal os at MRI before surgical removal of the uterine cervix, or trachelectomy, physicians may be able to identify high-risk patients who should instead undergo a radical hysterectomy, according to a study published in the October Radiology.October 2, 2013Nuclear MedicineICER: Evidence of beta-amyloid PET's efficacy still lackingA review of clinical studies on the efficacy of beta-amyloid PET for Alzheimer's disease has led the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) to conclude that evidence supporting the scans is still lacking, according to an article published online September 30 in JAMA Internal Medicine.September 30, 2013MRIFerromagnetic detection could boost safety in MRI suiteA ferromagnetic detection system ferreted out many kinds of metallic devices and objects that could typically be introduced into an MRI suite, according to a study in the October issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology. Such a system could help prevent implant-related accidents, the authors concluded.September 29, 2013MRIMR elastography detects liver disease in obese childrenMR elastography can help physicians accurately detect fibrosis in obese children with chronic liver disease, according to a study published online September 23 in the Journal of Pediatrics.September 24, 2013MRIMRI software opens views to blood-flow issues, stroke potentialWhen patients experience blood-vessel blockage that could lead to a stroke, correcting the condition as soon as possible can be critical. Vascular analysis technology firm VasSol believes its software, designed to quantify blood flow through any vessel in the body, can help with this and other conditions.September 24, 2013Previous PagePage 126 of 239Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputationsLower limb amputation is an increasingly common major complication of advanced peripheral arterial disease and diabetes mellitus.MRI3D MRI technique helps plan treatment for pediatric heart conditionsWomens ImagingCould AI scoring help with managing DCIS?CTClinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion typePractice ManagementRadiology coding update for 2026
