Award-Winning Study Shows Benefits of 3D MRI for Assessing the Fetal Optic Pathway
Three-dimensional (3D) slice-to-volume (SVR) fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has over six times the fetal optic pathway visualization rate of standard two-dimensional MRI, according to new research presented at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) 2023 Annual Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Study: Emerging AI Platform for DBT Shows 23 Percent Increase in Breast Cancer Detection Rate
In a recent video interview, Kathy Schilling, M.D., discussed findings from a study of ProFound AI, an adjunctive artificial intelligence (AI) software for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), that demonstrated a 23 percent increase in breast cancer detection in comparison to DBT alone.
Study: AI Improves Cancer Detection Rate for Digital Mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Comparing year-long findings with and without adjunctive artificial intelligence (AI) at a breast cancer screening program in Spain, researchers found the combination of digital breast tomosynthesis and AI had a 92.5 percent accuracy for diagnosing cancer in patients with elevated risk.
Seven Key Considerations with Rectal Cancer MRI

What a New Study Reveals About Breast Density Awareness
January 6th 2023In a recent interview from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference, Mary Yamashita, M.D. discussed a variety of findings from a survey of over 8,000 women about breast density awareness, challenges with current breast density notification after mammography exams, and the ongoing need to educate patients as well as referring providers on breast density awareness.
Recognizing and Addressing Biases with AI and Radiologists
In a video interview discussing one of her recent lectures at the Radiological Society for North America (RSNA) conference, Nina Kottler, M.D., M.S., noted how the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and radiologist experience can help mitigate bias limitations with the development of AI algorithms as well as educational biases inherent to a radiologist’s training and experience.
Maximizing Cloud-Based Capabilities in Radiology
December 13th 2022In a recent interview at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference, Eliot Siegel, M.D., discussed a variety of potential benefits with cloud-based image management in radiology, ranging from enhanced data security and economies of scale to improved access to a variety of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to increase efficiency.
Emerging Insights on Improving Radiology Workflows
In a recent video interview from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference, Tessa Cook, MD, PhD discussed new research on automated de-identification in radiology reports and the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) to help address time-consuming challenges in the radiology workflow.
Study Assesses PET Agent for Detecting Pelvic Lymph Node Metastases in Patients with Prostate Cancer
For patients recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, the emerging positron emission tomography (PET) agent 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 reportedly has a 96 percent specificity rate for detecting pelvic lymph node metastases, according to Phase 3 study results recently presented at the 22nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO).
Can AI Improve the Consistency of Breast Density Assessment by Radiologists?
In a recent video interview, Susan Holley, MD discussed key findings from a large retrospective longitudinal study, presented at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference, which found that an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) model was over 24 percent more consistent than radiologist assessment of breast density.
