Amid new research insights and advances in the management of patients with prostate cancer, Daniel Spratt, M.D., shared his observations in an interview on the emerging role and impact of PSMA-PET imaging.

Emerging research with low-field MRI shows that persistently moderate to severe opacities were a common finding in patients up to two years after having acute COVID-19 pneumonia.

In joint consensus recommendations issued from the Society of Abdominal Radiology and the American College of Gastroenterology, researchers discussed key pearls, benefits, and limitations of CT angiography for imaging of overt lower GI bleeding and CT enterography for detecting small bowel bleeding.

While adjunctive use of AI led to significantly higher specificity and accuracy rates in detecting cancer on breast ultrasound exams in comparison to unassisted reading by breast radiologists, researchers noted that 12 of 13 BI-RADS 3 lesions upgraded by AI were ultimately benign, according to research presented at the European Congress of Radiology.

Employing quantitative computed tomography, the staging system’s insights on stenosis, ischemia and coronary atherosclerosis may facilitate individualized assessments of heart disease risk.

Computed tomography (CT) findings from over 1,700 patients with stable chest pain reveal that coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores of 0 are associated with a 4.1 percent prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) whereas CAC scores of 400 or higher are linked to a 76.1 percent incidence of obstructive CAD, according to research from a multinational study.

In comparison to standard-dose lung CT, the combination of deep learning image reconstruction with ultra-low-dose CT offered similar detection and characterization of pulmonary nodules at a nearly 93 percent reduction of radiation dosing, according to new research.

A recent pediatric clinical trial revealed that left ventricular opacification with the ultrasound agent Definity improved ejection fraction assessment for 80 percent of patients.

Dwelling on a bad experience or episode with a referrer or colleague is never worth the sacrifice of perspective and forward momentum.

Based on findings from a multicenter study of over 1,600 patients, researchers at the European Congress of Radiology suggest the inclusion of autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) triage could facilitate up to a 75 percent reduction in prostate MRI reading workload.

In a study of nearly 2,500 women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 sequence variations, researchers found that MRI surveillance led to a 3.2 percent breast cancer mortality risk at 20 years in contrast to a 14.9 percent mortality risk for those who did not have MRI surveillance.

Noting that technique issues, patient positioning miscues and atypical features can all contribute to faulty interpretation with contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), researchers at the European Congress of Radiology shared their insights on navigating artifacts and limitations with CEM.

Designed for full-body imaging, the new modality reportedly offers a lightweight portable design, AI-powered tools and enhanced high-resolution images.

Sixty-five percent of patients with newly diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer may have extraprostatic extension on MRI, and PSMA PET/CT findings suggest those with Gleason scores of eight or higher have more than double the risk of metastasis, according to a new study presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

A new meta-analysis noted pooled sensitivity and specificity rates of 83 percent and 91 percent, respectively, for the use of non-contrast abbreviated MRI in surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Emphasizing upgraded angio suite capabilities as well as improved 2D and 3D imaging, Philips will unveil the Azurion Neuro Biplane System at the European Congress of Radiology.
