JAMA Internal Medicine published an article, Projected Lifetime Cancer Risks From Current Computed Tomography Imaging, that uses risk modeling to suggest that radiation from Computed Tomography (CT) ...

A CT scan is a diagnostic imaging exam that uses X-ray technology to produce images of the inside of the body. A CT scan can show detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, ...

The cancers could be detected early to save lives using Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems. CT scans medical images are one the best images in detecting these tumors in lungs that are especially ...

In these instances, the parents may choose to wait outside the scanning room until imaging is complete. The need for sedation in children must be assessed on an individual basis. Younger children may ...

We live in an age where medical technology can uncover what the naked eye can’t, and CT scans are a major part of that advancement. But with growing chatter around radiation exposure and ...

Computed Tomography scans are vital for diagnosis. Recent studies indicate a potential link between CT scans and increased cancer risk. In the United States, millions undergo CT scans annually.

“There are no proven cases of cancer arising from diagnostic medical imaging that uses ionizing radiation,” such as X-rays or CT scans, said radiologists Michael N. Hoff, PhD, Kimberly ...

These are chemicals that enhance the imaging in CT scans and MRIs. “The image is either good or bad,” says Arora pointing to the fact that these chemicals have exacting specifications.

Further, the system ensures safer and faster scans while delivering high resolution images, said Mahajan Imaging in a statement. “The launch of our new 128 Slice Digital PET-CT scanner in ...

Chest scans came in second, accounting for about 21% of projected cancer cases. A practice called “multiphase scanning”—where multiple images are taken during a single CT appointment—substantially ...

Researchers projected that the use of CT scans in 2023 would cause 102,700 lifetime cancers. Radiation from computed tomography (CT) scans may cause as many as 5% of cancers diagnosed each year in ...

Abstract: Segmentation of medical image ... paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavity. Manual segmentation is performed by custom software whereas semi-automatic segmentation is realized by a commercial ...
