''An international research team has proposed a way to make high-resolution, 3D images of breast tissue while reducing the delivered X-ray dose. Breast tissue is particularly susceptible to X-ray radiation so 3D scanning is generally not employed. ...'

''Scientists have developed a way to produce three-dimensional X-ray images of the breast at a radiation dose that is lower than the 2D radiographies used in clinics today. The new method enables the production of 3D diagnostic computed tomography (CT) ...'

''A computerized approach to examining patient bone X-rays for diagnosis of osteoporosis could side-step the subjectivity associated with visual examination, according to a new research paper in the International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and ...'

''Ultrasound is a safe and accurate alternative to X-ray for detecting metaphyseal forearm fractures in children, say researchers. Although an individual X-ray involves exposure to a fairly low dose of radiation, there is still concern about how harmful ...'

''Last week delivered some disconcerting news for people with a specific, strong inherited high risk for developing cancer. An analysis published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found that young women with BRCA mutations are more likely to develop ...'

''Together with industry partner Bruker microCT / Skyscan, a team of university researchers led by scientists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen has developed a preclinical x-ray scanner (left) with enhanced contrast for soft tissue imaging. Mounted ...'

''Rapid expansion of hybrid operating rooms (ORs) will drive growth in the U.S. x-ray market, according to U.S. Markets for X-Ray Systems 2012, a report issued by Millenium Research Group (MRG). MRG forecasts modest growth, from $2.5 billion in 2011 to ...'

''With MRI scans becoming cheaper and more common, perhaps the days of the CT scan that does a similar function using X-Rays rather than magnetic fields, are numbered. A report shows that the cancer risk from CT scans, especially Brain Cancer and Leukemia ...'

''While many practices have made the leap to digital X-rays over the past decade, over 50% are still not using digital systems. With government regulations looming, and many referring offices using digital X-rays, many practices will find that it is ...'

''The first phase of a clinical testing a new imaging device — that doesn’t use X-rays — has been found to successfully detect malignancies in breasts using a combination of near infrared light and ultrasound. Currently X-ray mammography plays a ...'
