In a review of 555 neuroimaging-based artificial intelligence (AI) models for the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders, researchers found that nearly 72 percent of the AI models had an inadequate sample size and over 99 percent were insufficient at handling data complexity.

In a recent video interview, Amy Patel, M.D., shared her perspective on forthcoming national beast density notification in mammography reporting, emphasized the importance of educating primary care providers on breast density risks, and discussed the ongoing need for coverage of supplemental options for breast cancer screening.

The expanded indication could facilitate improved access to imaging for patients with metastatic prostate cancer who are candidates for radioligand treatment.

In a recent video interview, Emily Conant, M.D., discussed findings from a large multicenter study highlighting the benefits of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in breast cancer screening.

The artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled software, which has a documented 91 percent sensitivity rate for detecting pediatric fractures, is reportedly the first AI fracture detection modality to receive FDA 510(k) clearance for use in the pediatric population.

Noting that computed tomography (CT) scans are obtained for more than 30 million emergency department (ED) patients annually and that 31.3 percent of ED CT scans reveal incidental findings, representatives from the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) recently collaborated on best practice recommendations for addressing incidental imaging findings in EDs.

In an age of robust imaging volume, time constraints and challenges with voice recognition software, attention to detail with verbiage in radiology reports may suffer.

Newly published retrospective research involving a large database of premenopausal women in Korea showed that women were 64 percent more likely to have dense breasts if their mother and a sister had breast cancer.

In a recent video interview, Wendie Berg, M.D., Ph.D., discussed the newly issued final rule from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requiring a national standard for breast density notification (starting on September 10, 2024) as well as its potential impact in mammography reporting and facilitating supplemental screening for patients with dense breasts.

As part of updates to the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) of 1992, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a final rule that requires the inclusion of breast density assessment in mammography reports starting on September 10, 2024.

Emerging research from a multicenter study found that COVID-19 vaccination was affiliated with a lower likelihood of high computed tomography (CT) severity scores and typical CT findings for COVID-19 in comparison to unvaccinated patients.

In a study of over 1,500 patients, researchers found that an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) modality had significantly higher sensitivity rates for abnormal posteroanterior chest radiographs and critical finding radiographs than radiology reports.
