Imaging ordered for one purpose can help identify other health risks at the same time. But getting that data to providers ...

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 ...

CT scans, or CAT scans, are widely used to get internal images of the body and diagnose dangerous medical conditions — but they could pose a hidden risk. A new study from the University of California ...

A research team has developed a versatile machine learning model that could one day greatly expand what medical scans can tell us about disease. Scientists used their tool, named Merlin, to assess 3D ...

CT scans are used to investigate all sorts of medical issues, from checking for brain bleeding after a kid takes a hard hit on the soccer field, to revealing what a bike accident did to a cyclist’s ...

Computed Tomography (CT) scans are one of the most frequently used imaging tools in medicine. In fact, more than 72 million scans are performed each year to diagnose various medical conditions. But ...

Rebecca Smith-Bindman, a professor at the University of California-San Francisco medical school, has spent well over a decade researching the disquieting risk that one of modern medicine’s most ...

Today, medical imaging has transformed the way doctors diagnose disease, detect injuries, and monitor treatment. Two of the most commonly used scans to detect a disease are the CT scan and the MRI.

Computed tomography (CT or CAT) scans help doctors detect everything from cancer to kidney stones. But some physicians are raising concerns about the safety of such procedures — most notably, an ...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming health care. AI systems can now detect diabetic eye disease from retinal photos and analyze CT images for signs of early-stage lung cancers and stroke.
