Every year after Thanksgiving, tens of thousands of doctors, hospital managers, equipment manufacturers and other medical industry professionals descend on Chicago for what might be the largest healthcare gathering in the world — the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). This year, however, was different as the action took place online for the first time in its 106 years.

True Detectives: These Human Owls Are Using AI-Enhanced Ultrasound To Catch Cancer

January 10, 2020

Not much gets past Chad McClennan and his elite detective squad of owls (yes, you read that right). The “chief executive owl” of the healthcare startup Koios Medical, McClennan explains that several of his engineers were military sleuths before applying their talents to breast cancer detection. “They were working for a U.S. Army defense contractor, using facial recognition technology to catch bad guys in foreign lands,” he says. “They realized that the same techniques could be applied to radiology.”

Many patients wait long, anxious days for biopsy results, hoping for good news but bracing for the worst. The problem is especially pronounced for breast cancer patients, who often wait even longer — several weeks — just to schedule an MR-guided biopsy. MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, enables doctors to take a biopsy — a tissue sample — with a needle from the location of interest within the breast.

These Machines Helped Unveil Secrets Of The Human Body

Thomas Edison’s light bulb patent was 15 years old when Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays and proved their power by imaging the bones inside his wife's hand. "I've seen my death," she reportedly said after seeing the picture. But GE co-founder Elihu Thomson had longevity in mind. A year after Roentgen's discovery, he modified Edison's light bulb to emit X-rays and used it to build the first X-ray machine.

This Nuclear Physicist Is Using Her Skills and Passion to Build a Better Mammography Machine

December 03, 2015
In the 1960s, French radiologist Charles Gros working at University of Strasbourg, asked the imaging machine maker Compagnie Générale de Radiologie (CGR) to find a way to build a dedicated device for X-ray breast imaging that would provide better images than conventional equipment and was also more comfortable for women.

When A Mammogram Isn’t Enough: Doctors Talk About the Future of Breast Cancer Screening

December 03, 2014

In 1965, French radiologist Charles Gros built the first X-ray machine dedicated to screening breasts and effectively launched mammography as a viable breast cancer test. The machine, which was built by Thomson CGR, used a special X-ray tube developed by his colleague Emile Gabbay. It was made from molybdenum and emitted low-energy radiation that produced uniform images and contrast that allowed doctors to see breast tissue in greater detail.
