Large Mammography Study Affirms Value of AI in Breast Cancer Detection
Over 26 percent of AI-detected future breast cancers and interval breast cancers missed by radiologists were invasive cancers, according to newly published research involving over 42,000 women who had 2D screening mammography.
Should Chest CT be Routine for Prostate Cancer Patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy?
Nine months after initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), prostate cancer patients with higher myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) — derived from chest contrast-enhanced CT — had over a fourfold higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), according to new research.
Reducing Mammography Workload by Nearly 40 Percent? What a New Hybrid AI Study Reveals
In a recent interview, Ioannis Sechopoulos, Ph.D, and Sarah D. Verboom, MSc discussed their new research examining the role of certainty in AI mammography screening assessment and the potential impact on workload reduction for radiologists.
Could A Specificity Emphasis for MRI-Based T-Staging Reinvent Staging for Prostate Cancer?
In a new review of MRI-based scoring systems for T-staging of prostate cancer, researchers discuss key literature findings and principles in evaluating the extent of prostate cancer (PCa) lesions, and whether a focus on specificity could enhance the staging of PCa.
In the second part of a recent interview, Tammie Benzinger, M.D., Ph.D., discusses recently presented research from the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) that showed the ability of portable low-field MRI to detect mild and moderate amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIAs).
