The International Society of Radiology has launched Global Outreach Radiology, a program that aims to allow radiologists in developing nations to view selected practical educational articles from peer-reviewed journals online at no charge.
The International Society of Radiology has launched Global Outreach Radiology, a program that aims to allow radiologists in developing nations to view selected practical educational articles from peer-reviewed journals online at no charge.
Editorial board members from participating journals select articles they would like linked to the program, called GoRad. The criterion for selection is how to apply various observations and techniques, said ISR executive director Otha Linton.
Contributors include, American Journal of Neuroradiology, American Journal of Roentgenology, Journal of the American College of Radiology, Korean Radiology Journal, RadioGraphics, and Radiology. GoRad could be expanded in the future to pick up classic articles from previous years of publication, Linton said.
CT Study: AI Algorithm Comparable to Radiologists in Differentiating Small Renal Masses
May 14th 2024An emerging deep learning algorithm had a lower AUC and sensitivity than urological radiologists for differentiating between small renal masses on computed tomography (CT) scans but had a 21 percent higher sensitivity rate than non-urological radiologists, according to new research.
Appealing Prior Authorization Denials: Can it be Effective for Emerging Technologies?
May 14th 2024While radiologists and other providers may be discouraged by insurer denials saying the use of a technological advance is “unproven and investigational,” 82 percent of appeals for prior authorization denials were approved in 2021.
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.
