In a new national coverage determination, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have lowered the starting thresholds for lung cancer screening from 55 to 50 years of age and from a 30-pack/year tobacco smoking history to 20 packs a year.
The new whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) platform reportedly offers enhanced image quality and increased patient comfort.
In addition to newly added advances with hemodynamic assessment and obstetric measurements, Lumify also offers a B-line quantification tool and AI-enhanced algorithms that may bolster ultrasound lung imaging in severe COVID-19 cases.
The artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology reportedly facilitates optimal contrast-to-noise ratios with medical imaging.
Emerging research suggests that mammograms should not be delayed for women who develop unilateral lymphadenopathy after receiving COVID-19 vaccines, and that follow-up imaging is unnecessary for patients who have no history of cancer or suspicious concurrent symptoms.
Researchers say the complementary use of artificial intelligence may significantly improve the accuracy of radiologists in diagnosing intracranial aneurysms.
In a recently published study involving hospitalized patients with COVID-19, researchers compared chest CT findings of vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated patients.
In an exclusive video interview with Diagnostic Imaging, Josh Cooper, vice president of congressional affairs for the American College of Radiology (ACR), and Thomas Hoffman, vice president of legal for the ACR, discuss the ACR’s lawsuit over the IDR process of the No Surprises Act and the potential impact of the law on reimbursement and patient access to care.
An emerging technology may help improve efficiency and outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries.
In a simulated clinical workflow, researchers found the use of an artificial intelligence model significantly decreased the number of exams that required interpretation by a radiologist.
As a potential complement to intraoperative X-rays, the imaging software may be beneficial for short-segment spine procedures performed in outpatient or ambulatory surgery centers.
