Standard CT scanners have continued to be relevant in the practice of radiologists in many regions. But the normal detectors convert X-ray images to light that takes two steps of transformation. This way causes the presence of the electronic noise and prevents achieving the clear images. Photon counting CT (PCCT) can be called the most prominent advancement in the domain of CT technology since it allows converting X-ray pictures immediately into electric signals providing an

Introduction For years, breast cancer screening has served as a vital tool in many medical institutions. However, 2D mammography—a traditional screening process faces many issues in detecting a clearer picture, especially with women with denser breast tissues. This global standard technology often produces a flat image, leading to false alarms or missed detection of cancer. However, advances in technology have led to the invention of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, which is a t

A major leap in medical imaging technology is reshaping the future of minimally invasive procedures. Researchers are now introducing a real-time 3D ultrasonic needle tracking system using a photoacoustic beacon designed to solve a long-standing problem in ultrasound-guided procedures, which is accurately locating the needle tip in real time during procedures such as biopsies and fetal interventions. The Persistent Challenge in Ultrasound-Guided Procedures Ultrasound has

Millimeter-wave radar technology is gaining attention in healthcare for its ability to monitor vital signs without direct physical contact. Operating at very high frequencies, typically between 30 and 300 GHz, mmWave radar can detect extremely small movements of the human body. This includes subtle chest motions caused by breathing and heartbeat. Unlike traditional monitoring tools that require wearable sensors or electrodes, mmWave radar works remotely, making it more comfor

For many years Radiologic Technology students were only able to train their skills on heavy and expensive equipment and machines, in a physical laboratory or on phantoms (medical training dolls). Nevertheless, in 2023-2025 there’s been a significant change in radiology practice. Virtual Reality training is an innovation that enables the radiology students to wear a headset and get into a fully digital X-ray room. It is turning into a kind of a bridge between the classroom and

Medical care is often inaccessible and expensive; for many Filipinos, even basic diagnostic procedures like ultrasound remain a privilege rather than a right. The Department of Health’s own Safe Motherhood Program similarly notes that many facilities still lack advanced diagnostic tools, including functional ultrasound units, leaving mothers dependent on distant hospitals for timely care (Recidoro, 2018). In a small provincial clinic, a pregnant mother waits hours on a wooden

In the field of radiology, accurate and timely diagnosis is everything. Fractures, often seen as routine cases in emergency rooms, can be easily overlooked, especially in subtle or complex injuries. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), however, a new chapter in diagnostic medicine is unfolding. From radiographs to CT scans, AI systems are proving to be more than just assistants; they are becoming reliable partners to clinicians in ensuring faster, smarter, and more

In the modern operating rooms, precision can mean the difference between success and failure. Surgeons rely on focus, steady hands, and sharp vision, but even human professionals have limits. That’s why new innovations are always presented as a new help for medical professionals. Through the fusion of robotics and medical imaging, a new innovation is presented to redefine what’s possible: Robotics Guided Ultrasound. AI has been majorly used in the medical field from 2021 to t
