Innovations in Radiology and Radiology

With the development of advanced imaging and robotics, innovation in radiation treatment has also exploded. The advent of 3D imaging has changed the delivery of radiation treatment. It has shifted from treatment fields into complex approaches using multiple beams. In addition, the emergence of IMRT and other forms of conformal radiotherapy has brought new challenges and opportunities. In the last two decades, the delivery of radiation therapy has seen a significant change.

5 Key Trends in New Ultrasound Technology

One of the key drivers of the rapid adoption of ultrasound in hospitals and other care settings is a growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of point-of-care imaging. This method of diagnostic imaging is now widely available and has become the standard of care for many disease states. Additionally, this low-cost imaging option is more effective than other imaging methods and is also safer than traditional procedures. As a result, ultrasound is gaining popularity as a fundamental tool for improving the quality of patient care and reducing health care costs.

A recent study found a high prevalence of abnormalities in the modified sonohysterogram (SHG) in African women with female factor infertility. The findings indicated a link between saline contrast hysterography and reduced fertility. The findings support the use of SHG to diagnose infertility. However, the method’s utility is unclear.

The Role of 3D & 4D Ultrasound

This technology is used for the study of the heart and fetal lungs, allowing a physician to see the fetal heart in a whole new light. Its major benefit is the ability to obtain high-resolution images of the fetal heart. It can be acquired in either 2D or 3D modes. Its advantages include a lower cost and greater speed.

Validity of MRI in Diagnosis of Congenital Anorectal Anomalies

MRI has been used to diagnose and confirm congenital anorectal malformations for over 50 years. It has been shown to be accurate in identifying three types of anorectal defects: hydrocolpos, anorectal fistula, and anorectal cysts. Among other uses, MRI can be helpful for detecting and analyzing a hydrocolpos.
