Pelvic X-Ray May Not Be Required for Children with Blunt Torso Trauma
Pelvic X-rays routinely ordered for children who have suffered blunt force trauma do not effectively detect all instances of pelvic fractures or dislocations and are typically unwarranted for patients for whom abdominal/pelvic CT scanning is otherwise planned. More...17 Aug 2014
Software Streamlines Mammography System Workflows from Multiple Manufacturers
A prospective study conducted by the Swedish researchers has confirmed the effectiveness of a breast imaging software across multiple vendor platforms, and has linked volumetrically evaluated breast density measurements to breast cancer risk. More...13 Aug 2014
Identifying Bladder Cancer Patients Who Could Benefit from Tumor-Softening Treatment
British scientists have identified a protein that could help clinicians choose which bladder cancer patients could be better treated from a therapy that makes radiotherapy more effective, according to recent research. More...13 Aug 2014
Imaging, Genetic Testing Reveal that Tyrolean Iceman had Genetic Predisposition for Atherosclerosis
Although prevalence and types of risk factors for atherosclerosis have varied over time from ancient times to modern society, genetic predisposition/risk for the disorder now appears to be very similar to that in ancient times, according to new imaging and genetic findings gleaned from a 300-year-old glacier mummy.

MRI Guidance, Remote-Controlled Catheter Technology May Improve Visualization of the Brain During Stroke Treatment
New technology in the form of a magnetically-assisted remote-controlled catheter has been designed to allow physicians to see and evaluate brain tissue more accurately while treating a stroke. More...13 Aug 2014
False-Positive CT Findings Do Not Increase Worry in Lung Cancer Patients
The US Preventive Services Task Force recommended CT lung screening for individuals at high risk for cancer, but a potential problem with CT scanning is that many patients will have positive findings on the screening test, only to be considered cancer-free with additional scanning.
