Osteoporosis remains underdiagnosed and undertreated despite established screening pathways. Many eligible patients are not referred for testing, and fracture risk is often misclassified when bone mineral density is assessed with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Routine CT examinations offer a chance to evaluate trabecular bone without additional imaging,...Read more

Crohn’s disease often leads to bowel wall changes that are difficult to characterise without cross-sectional imaging. While CT involves radiation and MRI can be costly or impractical, transabdominal ultrasound offers a bedside option that can be repeated and integrated into routine care. A recent article published in Insights into Imaging evaluated...Read more

Dense breast tissue can hide tumours on mammography and is independently linked to higher breast cancer risk. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is widely used for screening women with dense breasts, yet debate persists on the value of other supplemental tests. Molecular breast imaging (MBI) uses technetium 99m sestamibi to highlight functionally...Read more

Spotting pulmonary embolism (PE) through computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) hinges on achieving sufficient contrast flow rates for clear visualization of pulmonary arteries. However, challenges arise when patients have difficult intravenous access, complicating the administration of high flow rates needed for optimal imaging. ...Read more
