CT Study Reveals Key Indicators for Angiolymphatic Invasion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
In computed tomography (CT) scans for patients with solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) < 30 mm, emerging research suggests the lollipop sign is associated with a greater than fourfold likelihood of angiolymphatic invasion.
Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
In a recent interview, Phillip Kuo, M.D., discussed the impact of newer anti-amyloid antibody therapies for Alzheimer’s disease upon recently issued appropriate use criteria (AUC) for amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as well as the incorporation of tau PET into the AUC for patients with mild cognitive impairment.
Can MRI-Based AI Enhance Risk Stratification in Prostate Cancer?
Employing baseline MRI and clinical data, an emerging deep learning model was 32 percent more likely to predict the progression of low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) to clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), according to new research.

Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
Surveillance Breast MRI Associated with Lower Risks of Advanced Second Breast Cancers
After propensity score matching in a study of over 3,000 women with a personal history of breast cancer, researchers found that surveillance breast MRI facilitated a 59 percent lower risk in advanced presentations of second breast cancers.
Teleradiology and Breast Imaging: Keys to Facilitating Personalized Service, Efficiency and Equity
In a recent interview, Arlene Sussman, M.D., discussed her experience in leading vRad’s teleradiology breast imaging service, how to foster personalized care in breast cancer screening, utilizing AI to help mitigate daunting worklists and improving access to subspecialty care.
New Survey Explores Radiologist and Neurologist Comfort Level with AI Triage for Brain MRI
Survey results revealed that 71 percent of clinicians preferred adjunctive AI in facilitating triage of brain MRI scans and 58 percent were comfortable utilizing AI triage without input from radiologists.
Abbreviated MRI for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals
For hepatocellular carcinoma screening, a 19-study meta-analysis found the abbreviated MRI sequencing protocol of T2-weighted MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and hepatobiliary phase (HBP) imaging offered 88 percent sensitivity and 93 percent specificity.
