Why The Cloud Can Help Maximise Diagnostic Scan Advances
If ever two developments should go hand-in-hand, it is the growing effectiveness of medical scans in detecting problems and making early diagnosis possible, and the development of the cloud to make this crucial information accessible to all…

Fluorescent Imaging May Aid Musculoskeletal Treatments
The importance of medical imaging sharing has been well established for years, but the value of using the cloud and other innovations to facilitate easier access to images for all who need them will only increase as new developments provide…

Medical Imaging Reveals Why Music Affects People So Strongly
There are few art forms that affect people emotionally and physically as much as music and a recent study used multiple medical imaging technologies to find out why.The first line of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night described music…

Study Highlights Role Of AI In Improving Scan Diagnostics
The importance of medical image sharing will be well known to many involved in patient care, with the ease with which this information can be transmitted between different settings enabling greater access for all those delivering treatment…

Does Medical Imaging Show That Athletes Think Differently?
There are a lot of uses for medical imaging in research, but one of the most unusual recent studies has explored the neurological differences between elite-level athletes and those who play sports at an amateur or recreational level.The…

Could A Tracing Compound Reveal Treatment-Resistant Tumours?
One of the most important parts of any cancer treatment is diagnosis, which starts with effective, regular medical imaging techniques.These help to show the location of tumours, but cannot always be used to diagnose a cancerous tumour’s…

What Does Elon Musk Medical Image Request Say About AI?
There are not many things Elon Musk says or does these days that escape attention, so a request made by the owner of X (formerly Twitter) may raise attention about the growing use of AI in providing medical imaging solutions.Mr Musk asked…

Who Was The First Person To Be Scanned Using MRI?
One of the main medical imaging tools that has become vital for helping to diagnose and plan potential medical procedures is magnetic resonance imaging, but unlike computed tomography scans, its history is far more condensed and characterised…

Could A Handheld Scanner Revolutionise Cancer Screening?
The biggest factor in cancer survival rates is early diagnosis; the sooner a lump, lesion or tumour is spotted, the more treatments are available, which allows for faster, less intrusive care and an improvement in survival rates that can be…

How Did A Bakery Lead To Advanced Medical Imaging Equipment?
Technology evolves in rather unique ways and for rather unusual reasons, and nothing embodies this principle in medical imaging more than how an early AI-driven cancer detector originated as a way to tell pastries apart.To explain why, it…

Digital Health Check Pilots To Be Launched In England
The use of medical cloud storage enables all sorts of data to be easily shared between departments of the NHS, be they different hospitals or between hospitals and GP practices.This may now be extended further to people’s homes under plans…
Important Role Of Machine Learning In Healthcare Diagnostics
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been playing an increasingly significant role in the healthcare sector in recent years, particularly when it comes to machine learning (ML). ML involves analysing a substantial quantity of data to make informed…

Did An AI Medical Imaging System Outperform A Radiologist?
The use of artificial intelligence as a tool to help with the detection of potential medical conditions through medical imaging has become a particularly animated field of study, but one particular study has generated significant interest.Published…

Can Medical Imaging Be Used With Three-Dimensional Printing?
Whilst many radical revolutions in medical imaging are focused on new approaches to designing imaging machines and taking advantage of machine learning to allow for accurate results with less expensive and intensive machines, there are other,…
