Can CT-Based Deep Learning Bolster Prognostic Assessments of Ground-Glass Nodules?
Emerging research shows that a multiple time-series deep learning model assessment of CT images provides 20 percent higher sensitivity than a delta radiomic model and 56 percent higher sensitivity than a clinical model for prognostic evaluation of ground-glass nodules.
Where Things Stand with the Radiologist Shortage
A new report conveys the cumulative impact of ongoing challenges with radiologist residency positions, reimbursement, post-COVID-19 attrition rates and the aging of the population upon the persistent shortage of radiologists in the United States.
FDA Clears Ultrasound AI Detection for Pleural Effusion and Consolidation
The 14th FDA-cleared AI software embedded in the Exo Iris ultrasound device reportedly enables automated detection of key pulmonary findings that may facilitate detection of pneumonia and tuberculosis in seconds.
For people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), new research suggests that a combination of amyloid-positive and tau-positive PET findings is linked to a nearly 70 percent risk of progressing to dementia in five years in comparison to an approximate 30 percent risk for those with amyloid β positive and tau-negative PET.
Can Contrast-Enhanced Mammography be a Viable Screening Alternative to Breast MRI?
While the addition of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) led to over a 13 percent increase in false positive cases, researchers also noted over double the cancer yield per 1,000 women in comparison to DBT alone.
Philips Launches Flash 5100 Point-of-Care Ultrasound System
Offering a combination of intuitive touchscreen controls and enhanced image clarity, the portable Flash 5100 POC ultrasound platform reportedly facilitates confident and rapid assessment in emergency radiology and critical care settings.
Ultrasound-Guided Thermal Ablation Shows Low Recurrence of Thyroid Carcinoma at Five Years
In a meta-analysis involving over 2,200 patients with T1NoMo papillary thyroid carcinoma, researchers noted 2 percent recurrence and no cases of lymph node metastasis five years after ultrasound-guided thermal ablation.
Multinational Study Reaffirms Value of Adjunctive AI for Prostate MRI
The use of adjunctive AI in biparametric prostate MRI exams led to 3.3 percent and 3.4 percent increases in the AUC and specificity, respectively, for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in a 360-person cohort drawn from 53 facilities.
Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and High-Concentration ICM Dosing: What a New Study Reveals
New research showed a 96 to 97 percent sensitivity for contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) with an increased iodine delivery rate facilitating robust contrast enhancement for women with aggressive breast cancer.
FDA Grants Fast Track Designation to Emerging Agent for Brain PET Imaging
Currently being evaluated in a phase 2b clinical trial, the 18F-RAD101 PET imaging agent garnered the FDA’s fast track designation for distinguishing between recurrent disease and treatment impact for brain metastases derived from solid tumors.
How to Successfully Launch a CCTA Program at Your Hospital or Practice
June 11th 2025Emphasizing increasing recognition of the capability of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for the evaluation of acute and stable chest pain, this author defuses common misperceptions and reviews key considerations for implementation of a CCTA program.
New PSMA PET Prep Product Now Available in the U.S.
Offering an extended shelf life, the FDA-approved Gozellix, a preparation kit for gallium-68 (68Ga) gozetotide injection, is indicated for use in PSMA PET imaging of prostate cancer patients with suspected recurrence or metastasis.
Emerging Insights on the Use of FES PET for Women with Lobular Breast Cancer
In a recent interview, Sherry Shen, M.D., discussed the potential impact of FES PET recently being recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines for the staging of recurrent or metastatic estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) lobular breast cancer.
