Technological breakthroughs in diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology have revolutionized patient care. However, these benefits seem to be accompanied by risks. In 2009, a report in the
Hybrid imaging is the fusion of medical images, most commonly from CT (computed tomography), PET (positron emission tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), in order to enhance visualisation. It addresses both anatomical detail and functional processes, thereby providing superior accuracy for diagnosis and the monitoring of interventional procedures. In several cases, it is also accompanied […]
Medical imaging is confronted with heterogeneities in many areas, including education and training, research, and quality of equipment and practice, which calls for a pan-European approach. by Prof. Guy FRIJA, Past-President of the European Society of Radiology (ESR) In 2014, the European Commissions Expert Panel advising the European Commission on effective ways of investing in […]
The ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) will remain the key method used to determine the proper exposure technique for a given examination. However, the technology and the methods used to achieve the lowest reasonably achievable dose will continue to evolve. New, more efficient technology can have a significant impact on required dose levels. […]
The Cone Beam CT (CBCT) technique is normally used in head and neck area for dento-maxillofacial, sinonasal and cervical spine imaging. Until recently, temporal bone imaging has typically been done with multidetector CT (MDCT). An issue related to CBCT in this anatomical area is the thick bony mass that surrounds the small details of the […]
Each year approximately 3.6 billion x-ray examinations are performed worldwide, leading to earlier and more accurate diagnosis of medical diseases. However, concern has been raised regarding the stochastic and even deterministic impact on both patients and medical staff. Authorized bodies have emphasized the importance of ensuring the proper performance of X-ray equipment and of keeping […]
