New enhancements for the Venue POCUS devices include automated labeling of anatomical landmarks with Nerveblox to facilitate 12 common peripheral nerve blocks and contrast-enhanced ultrasound geared to abdominal injury assessments.

In the second part of a recent interview, Emmanuel S. Antonarakis, M.D. discusses PSMA PET agents in current trials and cell surface proteins that may offer targeting utility in prostate cancer imaging beyond PSMA.

In the 160-patient study comparing 18F-PSMA 1007 PET/CT and 18F-NaF PET/CT, the use of 18F-PSMA PET/CT led to 38 patients being restaged as having more advanced prostate cancer.

Through enhanced data interoperability and access to patient histories, the cloud-based InteleHeart may facilitate better communication and workflow efficiencies for radiologists and cardiologists.

While dynamic contrast enhanced breast MRI may help reduce biopsies for suspicious calcifications on mammograms, quantitative MRI features and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) may not provide additional diagnostic benefit in these cases, according to a new study.

A deep learning AI platform, which incorporated radiomic features including CT attenuation metrics, demonstrated a 93.6 percent AUC for detecting invasive adenocarcinoma on chest CT.

Women who had an MRI prior to undergoing surgery for newly diagnosed breast cancer were 18 percent more likely to have a mastectomy, according to newly published research.

In a recent interview, Morris Panner offered his perspective on cultural hurdles to interoperability in health care, emerging trends with enterprise imaging and an answer first approach to integrating AI in radiology.

In a study involving over 500 patients, researchers noted that the CT-based AI software led to a 24 percent increase of evaluations for aortic abdominal aneurysms within six months of detection.

The AI-powered Bunkerhill MAC software reportedly facilitates chest CT detection and quantification of mitral annular calcification, which has been linked to higher cardiovascular risk and related mortality.

In a recent interview, Arthy Saravanan, M.D., discussed the recent launch of the Mammo Enhance Heart program from Radiology Partners and its potential impact in facilitating dual screening for breast cancer and cardiovascular risk.

The AI-powered Viz ACS platform may facilitate improved communication between clinicians and more rapid treatment for cases involving acute coronary syndrome.

Based on survey findings and subsequent voting from radiologists at nine facilities, the Society of Abdominal Radiology has issued new consensus recommendations on the use of adult abdominal photon-counting CT.

Researchers found comparable 10-year overall survival rates for people who had computed tomography (CT) surveillance (94.7 percent) and those who had surgery for ground-glass nodules (97.6 percent), according to a new prospective study involving over 680 participants.

In a recent interview, Emmanuel S. Antonarakis, M.D. discussed contributing factors to the recent American Cancer Society report about rising prostate cancer incidence and offered insights about the potential role of the radioligand agent 177Lu-PSMA-I&T for patients with mCRPC.

In a recent interview, Manisha Bahl, M.D., discussed new research showing significant associations between AI detection and the histologic grade and lymph node status of breast cancer.

In a multicenter trial, researchers found 96.3 percent of women with low-risk, early-stage breast cancer had no local recurrence after being treated with a combination of ProSense cryoablation and hormone therapy.

In comparison to false positives with unassisted radiologist interpretations of DBT exams, AI-only false positive assessments were associated with a significantly higher total of false-positive findings as well as a 33 percent lower frequency of dense breasts, according to a new study of nearly 3,000 women who had screening DBT exams.

New research shows that women, subspecialists and radiologists in non-academic settings had over a 25 percent higher attrition rate in radiology in comparison to men, general radiologists and academic radiologists.

For patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis, switching from oral therapies to subcutaneous monthly administration of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody ofatumumab led to over a 98 percent reduction of Gd+ T1 lesions on MRI at 96 weeks.

The Mammo Enhance Heart program combines AI detection of breast arterial calcification (BAC) on screening mammography and subsequent follow-up with a local network of cardiologists.

The Planmed XFI full-body weightbearing cone-beam CT scanner reportedly enables upright and supine patient positioning.

Providing adjunctive AI detection for multiple conditions on CT through a single workflow, the multi-triage platform would be available through Aidoc’s aiOS platform.

While pooled data from 38 studies showed markedly higher sensitivity rates for the use of adjunctive AI for ischemic stroke detection on non-contrast CT exams, researchers noted a high degree of bias and lack of external validation in many of the studies.

The new X-ray platform reportedly offers AI-enhanced automation with patient positioning, quality control and image processing.

In a recent interview, Partho Sengupta, M.D., and Davinder Ramsingh, Ph.D., discussed recent research demonstrating the capability of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to facilitate reduced length of stay and significant cost savings in the management of patients with dyspnea.
