james60+FollowHow Docs Really Spot Lung NodulesEver wonder how doctors decide which scan to use for lung nodules? Turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all. CT scans are the go-to for most cases, but MRI can be super helpful for seeing soft tissues, and PET/CT is great for spotting cancer. Plus, there’s some wild tech called radiomics that digs into image data we can’t even see! It all depends on your age, risk, and what the docs are looking for. Science is wild! #LungHealth #MedicalImaging #Radiology #ARRS2024 #Health10Share
Jose Johnston+FollowNew AI Tech Is Changing Medical ImagingGE HealthCare just got FDA clearance for their Aurora SPECT/CT system and Clarify DL, and it’s kind of a big deal. This new tech means doctors can get super-clear images faster, with less hassle for patients (even those with higher BMI). The deep learning AI actually boosts image quality without longer scans or higher doses. University Hospitals is already on board, and it looks like this could be a game-changer for diagnosing everything from heart issues to cancer. Imagine getting a more accurate diagnosis in just one visit! #MedicalImaging #HealthcareInnovation #AIinMedicine #FDAClearance #Radiology #Health00Share
April Anderson+FollowCT Scans: The Surprising Cancer Risk?Just found out CT scans could be behind up to 5% of all new cancer cases—on par with risks from drinking or being overweight! Researchers say about 103,000 future cancers could be traced back to just one year’s worth of scans in the US. Abdomen and pelvis scans are the biggest culprits, and multiphase scans crank up the risk even more. Not saying skip lifesaving scans, but maybe ask your doc if you really need that CT or if an MRI/ultrasound could work instead! #HealthNews #CTScan #CancerRisk #MedicalImaging #Wellness #Health393Share
