Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.
In this week’s preview, here are some highlights of what you can expect to see coming soon:
X-ray imaging is the oldest and one of the most common and most affordable forms of diagnostic imaging. Even though it's been around for more than 100 years and hasn’t changed a great deal in that time, there is still room for some innovation. Later this week, look for a podcast with Amol Karnick, chief executive officer of KA Imaging, and Karim S. Karim, M.D., chief technical officer at KA Imaging, about current trends with this modality and where innovations and future work can lead.

With vaccination rates on the rise, the United States is, hopefully, seeing a turning point in the COVID-19 pandemic. But, there’s no question that healthcare, including radiology, will be forever changed by this overwhelming experience that put a crushing burden on both providers and resources. After more than a year, Singapore Hospital has compiled a list of key lessons learned that can help inform hospitals and healthcare facilities as the industry ventures to continuing providing radiology services in the safest, most effective way possible. Keep an eye open this week for their assessment.

What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals About Fractional Flow Reserve Assessment with Computed Tomography
May 13th 2024While acknowledging variable accuracy overall with CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) values, researchers found that the accuracy rate increased to 90 percent for FFR-CT values greater > 0.90 and < 0.49.
Study Finds High Concordance Between AI and Radiologists for Cervical Spine Fractures on CT
May 6th 2024Researchers found a 98.3 percent concordance between attending radiology reports and AI assessments for possible cervical spine fractures on CT, according to new research presented at the 2024 ARRS Annual Meeting.
Can a CT-Based Radiomics Model Bolster Detection of Malignant Thyroid Nodules?
May 3rd 2024A computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model that includes 28 radiomic features showed significantly higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity than conventional CT in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules, according to newly published research.
Study Reveals Benefits of Photon-Counting CT for Assessing Acute Pulmonary Embolism
April 23rd 2024In comparison to energy-integrating detector CT for the workup of suspected acute pulmonary embolism, the use of photon-counting detector CT reduced radiation dosing by 48 percent, according to newly published research.
