Cardiac coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) exam showing different views of the myocardium and the coronary arteries. This was scanned on a Canon Aquilion Prime CT scanner.

October 6, 2021 – A new study published in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging on cardiac imaging trends over a decade reports that the rate of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) exams by radiologists in hospital outpatient departments increased markedly from 2010 to 2019.[1] This suggests a bright future for the technology.

October 5, 2021 — A promising radionuclide treatment may offer new therapeutic options for breast cancer patients, according to research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. The treatment combines radioactive iodine therapy with single-domain antibodies that target the human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (

Sun Nuclear’s SunCHECK Patient QA uses calibrated EPID data to enable true dosimetric in-vivo monitoring, creating a fully independent absolute dosimetric QA of patient treatments.

To maintain safety in radiation therapy (RT), every machine performance and patient delivery measurement must be as accurate as possible.

October 5, 2021 – UltraSight, a digital health company developing artificial intelligence (AI) enabled cardiac imaging, announced a new collaboration with GE Healthcare to conduct a cardiac ultrasound study aboard the Axiom Rakia space mission. The company also announced the successful completion of preliminary design review (PDR) for its cardiac point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS). 

October 5, 2021 — Ultrasound experts urged the health care community to work to expand utilization of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) in order to offer patients broader access to low-cost, safe and reliable diagnostic imaging.

October 4, 2021 — Hologic, Inc., an innovative medical technology company primarily focused on improving women’s health, announced today that CEO Steve MacMillan will ring the Nasdaq opening bell on October 4 to mark the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

October 4, 2021 — A non-invasive, patient-friendly imaging technique can help physicians make treatment decisions for breast cancer patients when diagnostic dilemmas arise. The 18F-FES PET scan—approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2020—was shown to solve 87 percent of dilemmas, providing physicians with information for personalized treatment decision-making.

October 4, 2021 — Understanding the role a certain molecule plays in both cancer cells, as well as the cells tasked to kill foreign invaders in the body could be the key to unlocking the benefits of treatment for one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer. 

October 4, 2021 — A new paper in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is cost-effective for detecting breast cancer for women with very

Gadolinium-enhanced MRI of a cardiac radiation therapy patient at baseline (left) and 3 months post-treatment (right). Top: the left ventricle with patchy, gadolinium-enhanced scar was transmurally targeted with a radiation ose of 25 Gy between 3 and 6 o’clock (red brackets). Nonenhanced, remote myocardium is adjacent to target region (white arrowhead). Bottom: surviving nonenhanced myocardium within the same images is visible in the targeted region at baseline and 3 months post-treatment (yellow outline).

September 28, 2021 — New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that radiation therapy can reprogram heart muscle cells to what appears to be a younger state. Researchers say this may fix electrical problems that cause a life-threatening arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia without the need for the current standard of care, invasive ablation procedures.[1]
