Enhancing Lesions on Breast MRI: Can an Updated Kaiser Scoring Model Improve Detection?
The addition of parameters such as patient age, MIP sign and associated imaging features to the Kaiser score demonstrated a 95.6 percent AUC for breast cancer detection of enhancing lesions on breast MRI in recently published research.
Can Intestinal Ultrasound Provide an Alternative for Evaluating Creeping Fat with Crohn’s Disease?
Intestinal ultrasound demonstrated an 88.2 percent agreement with computed tomography enterography in characterizing creeping fat in patients with Crohn’s disease, according to new research.
PSMA PET/CT or mpMRI: Which is Better for Diagnosing Biochemical Recurrence of PCa?
A new meta-analysis found that PSMA PET/CT offers a 12 percent higher positivity rate for detecting biochemical recurrence of PCa and a 19 percent higher positivity rate for identifying lymph node metastasis in comparison to mpMRI.
FDA Clears Enhanced 3D Ultrasound Platform for Thyroid Imaging
The Piur tUS Infinity system reportedly reduces operator dependency with ultrasound through upgrading of two-dimensional ultrasound devices and access to 3D multiplanar image reconstructions of thyroid conditions.
The use of 177Lu-PSMA-617 was associated with a significantly longer radiographic progression-free survival and a 12 percent lower rate of grade 3 or higher adverse events in comparison to a change of ARPI therapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Can AI Enhance CT Detection of Incidental Extrapulmonary Abnormalities and Prediction of Mortality?
Emphasizing multi-structure segmentation and feature extraction from chest CT scans, an emerging AI model demonstrated an approximately 70 percent AUC for predicting significant incidental extrapulmonary findings as well as two-year and 10-year all-cause mortality.
Comparing Digital Breast Tomosynthesis to Digital Mammography: What a Long-Term Study Reveals
In a study involving over 272,000 breast cancer screening exams, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) had a higher breast cancer detection rate and a lower rate of advanced cancer presentation at the time of diagnosis in comparison to digital mammography.
Can Radiomics Enhance Differentiation of Intracranial Aneurysms on Computed Tomography Angiography?
Radiomics models offered a pooled AUC of 86 percent for differentiating between ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms, according to a recently published meta-analysis.
