X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of the most commonly used diagnostic three-dimensional imaging modalities today. Conventionally, this noninvasive technique generates contrast by measuring the X-ray attenuation properties of different tissues. Considering the wave nature of X-rays, complementary contrast can be achieved by further measuring their small-angle scattering (dark-field) properties. This provides…

Seqenenre-Taa-II, The Brave, (c.1558–1553 BC) ruled Southern Egypt during the occupation of Egypt by the Hyksos. The mummy was physically examined and X-rayed in the 1960s, which showed severe head wounds that have prompted various theories about the circumstances of his death. We postulated that Computed Tomography (CT) study of Seqenenre-Taa-II's mummy would give insights into the circumstances of his death. We…

Compared with energy-integrating CT, ultrahigh-resolution photon-counting CT improves resolution and reduces radiation exposure in abdominal aortic angiography, a study finds.

An 8-year study found an increased incidence of diverticulitis in EDs in the United States, along with increased CT usage, fewer admissions, and a shift to penicillin-based antibiotics for treatment.

The RESILIENT-Extend trial showed benefit for thrombectomy in the 8- to 24-hour window without the need for costly imaging equipment, albeit with some caveats.

A survey of primary investigators on a PET/CT imaging study showed agreement on returning clinically actionable findings to research participants but less consensus on managing unclear findings.

Radiation oncologists can use CT chest images for more than radiation treatment plans, study suggests.

Extending the simple CT scan administered to all acute stroke patients to include the upper part of the heart increased cardioaortic thrombus detection by almost sixfold.

Desktop CT and 3D Scanner With Arduino: Computed tomography (CT) or computed axial tomography (CAT) is most often associated with imaging the body because it enables clinicians to see the anatomical structure inside the patient without having to do any surgery. To image inside the human b…

/PRNewswire/ -- Lumafield emerged from stealth today, introducing a groundbreaking accessible X-ray computed tomography (CT) platform that gives any engineer...

Coronary artery calcium score on computed tomography had better risk discrimination than the polygenic risk score, in a new study.

Patients with aortic inflammation detected by PET were at greater risk for developing aortic aneurysms, particularly thoracic aortic aneurysms.

Patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma demonstrated improved overall survival with intensive post-treatment follow-up monitoring with 18F- FDG-PET/CT vs conventional follow-up.

Ahead of the Big Game on Sunday, the Kinetic Vision Metrology + Inspection Group Dissects a Football with Computed Tomography X-Ray Scanning.

Smoking and alcohol consumption were associated with an increased risk for developing diverticulitis in a large prospective study of women.

Long-term or recurrent antibiotic use during early life was associated with an increased risk of early-onset colorectal cancer and adenomas, according to an analysis of UK Biobank data.

A new study links neurovascular shifts to disease onset, as experts weigh the promise of blood biomarkers.

With the help of AI, arterial inflammation measured with coronary computed tomography angiography can predict fatal and nonfatal events in patients with nonobstructive CAD.

Using X-ray computed tomography scan data, paleontologists reconstructed the braincase endocasts of Baryonyx walkeri and Ceratosuchops inferodios from the Early Cretaceous of England.

Researchers at CU Boulder have, for the first time, used X-ray computed tomography (also known as a CT scan) to peer inside swarms of honeybees.
