Credit Morehead State University Morehead State University's imaging sciences programs have several qualities that place them among the nation's best.  Best Value Schools (BestValueSchools.org) has named MSU to its list of the Best 25 X-Ray Tech Schools in 2021. MSU was ranked 13th and was the only Kentucky higher education institution to make the list. Among the programs highlighted are MSU’s Associate of Applied Sciences in Radiologic Science, its Bachelor of Science in Imaging Sciences (BSIS) tracks in diagnostic medical sonography (DMS) and computed tomography/magnetic resonance (CTMR)...

Reply A study is underway at Emory Johns Creek Hospital to assess the feasibility of cryoablation for patients with Type 2 diabetes. (Shutterstock ) JOHNS CREEK, GA — A study is underway at Emory Johns Creek Hospital to assess the feasibility of cryoablation, or the use of extreme cold for patients with Type 2 diabetes. The one-year pilot study, called "Percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation of the splanchnic nerves for the management of Type 2 diabetes" will enroll five patients between the ages of 22 and 65 at Emory Johns Creek Hospital. The splanchnic nerves are located on both sides of the...

Listen   For some diseases, a quick diagnosis is critical. Federal scientists are working to improve patient care with another tool for medical professionals’ kits: artificial intelligence. Most work is still in the research phase, but experts are optimistic that AI and machine learning will soon be able to widely support doctors — especially pathologists and radiologists. The ­technological tools won’t replace human healthcare workers, though. “It’s not taking anybody out of the loop,” says Dr. Andrew Borkowski, chief of the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory at the James A. Hale...

Heart Arrhythmia Can Be Treated Effectively With The Aid Of OpenEP Platform by Karishma Abhishek on  March 2, 2021 at 5:33 AM Frontiers in Physiology. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a heart condition that is characterized by an irregular and often fast heartbeat. Major symptoms include breathlessness, palpitations, and fatigue. AF is a major contributor to stroke and heart failure. The OpenEP platform is capable of analyzing 90 % of the contemporary electrophysiology studies, thus lowers the barriers of entry to electrophysiology research. The platform also enables the...

An open-source platform, OpenEP co-developed by researchers from the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King's College London has been made available to advance research on atrial fibrillation, a condition characterized by an irregular and often fast heartbeat.
