''Computed tomography colonography (CTC), also known as virtual colonoscopy, offers a noninvasive alternative to traditional (optical) colonoscopy for detection of precancerous polyps. The technology has been around for over 20 years, and numerous studies ...'

''Less than 7.1% of patients presenting to the emergency department with dizziness and 6.4% complaining of syncope or near-syncope benefited from head CT say researchers at Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Honolulu. The use of head CT as part of a screening ...'

''Digital breast tomosynthesis, also known as 3-D mammography, has the potential to significantly increase the cancer detection rate in mammography screening of women with dense breasts, according to a latest study. Breasts are considered dense if they ...'

''Investigators of the COSMOS (Continuous Observation of SMOking Subjects) study show good compliance and patient survival outcomes using a 5-year low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening protocol in individuals at high-risk of developing lung cancer. ...'

''An imaging technique used in medicine could help detect hidden nuclear material, according to the results of a computer simulation reported this week in the Journal of Applied Physics1. The work suggests a way to improve efforts to stem illegal transport ...'
