A groundbreaking multinational study, recently published in Radiology, has shed new light on the immense impact of early-stage lung cancer detection through low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening. The study's findings have far-reaching implications, suggesting that patients diagnosed with lung cancer via CT screening exhibit a remarkable 20-year survival rate of approximately 81%.

A new ultrasound device that can identify breast cancer at the earliest stages of the disease has been developed by a Turkish scientist and her colleagues in the U.S.

Canan Dağdeviren, a Turkish scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has designed a bra-mounted ultrasound scanner that can detect breast cancer in the early stages.

Radiologists have also noted that the changes observed in the bones could have been caused by tumors

“NASA needs a definition of life so it knows how to build detectors and what kinds of instruments to use on its missions”

Greek startup Advantis Medical Imaging is bringing together two rapidly changing major sectors, medicine and technology, as it is active in the field of developing software for medical imaging.

Radiologists are at risk of making mistakes due to the heavy workload they are subject to every day, said Turkish Society of Radiology President Prof. Dr. Tamer Kaya.

Artist in residence Hugh Turvey, at the British Institute of Radiology, created digitally altered X-Ray imagery of humans in every-day poses. Through said X-Ray techniques, colorization, and shadow photography, he was able to depict the “weird” habits we, as humans have.
