Recurrent Prostate Cancer and Low PSA Levels: Can an Emerging PSMA PET Agent Have an Impact?
Use of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) agent piflufolastat F 18 led to treatment plan changes in nearly 40 percent of men with recurrent prostate cancer and low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, according to new research presented recently at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers (GU) Symposium in San Francisco.
Could Photon Counting CT Supplant MRI for Imaging Assessment of Hepatic Steatosis?
Preliminary research suggests no significant differences between photon-counting computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the quantification of liver fat fraction in obese patients.
CT Study Reveals Persistent Lung Abnormalities Two Years After COVID-19
In their review of follow-up chest computed tomography (CT) scans, researchers from Wuhan, China found that nearly 40 percent of patients had interstitial lung abnormalities two years after having COVID-19.
Can an Emerging Radiomics Model Improve CT Angiography Assessment of Heart Attack Risk?
Derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images, a radiomics model demonstrated a 75 percent or greater area under the curve (AUC) in multiple test sets for identifying vulnerable plaque.
Portable MRI System Gets FDA Nod for AI-Powered Brain Imaging Software
The upgraded, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled software for the Swoop® Portable MR Imaging System reportedly enhances the device’s signal-to-noise ratio for diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences.
Emerging Trends with AI in Radiology in 2023
In a recent video interview, Sonia Gupta, MD discussed a number of ongoing developments with artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology, ranging from market consolidation of AI vendors to maximizing automation and efficiency with patient triage, reporting and follow-up of incidental findings.
Can Pre-Op Ultrafast MRI Predict Upgrade of DCIS Lesions to Invasive Breast Cancer?
In a new study that may have implications for breast cancer surgery, researchers found that shorter time to enhancement (TTE) on preoperative ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was significantly associated with escalation of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to invasive breast cancer.
Current Insights on Multimedia Radiology Reports
February 8th 2023In a video interview at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference, Wayne Dell, M.D., discussed retrospective research that examined the use of hyperlinked multimedia radiology reports across modality and subspecialty five years after initial implementation of the technology at the University of Virginia.
Study: AI More Than Doubles the Sensitivity Rate for Lung-RADS Category 4 Nodules on Chest X-Rays
In newly published research, researchers found that an artificial intelligence (AI) computer-aided detection (CAD) system was more than twice as likely as non-AI assessment to diagnose actionable lung nodules on chest X-rays.
Interval Breast Cancer: What a New Mammography Study Reveals
In a new study of 1,232 women diagnosed with breast cancer within a year of a screening mammography exam, researchers found that interval breast cancer was 17 percent more likely in women with dense or extremely dense breasts, and over three times more likely to involve stage 2 or higher primary tumors in comparison to screening-detected breast cancer.
Five Solutions to Address Cybersecurity Challenges in Radiology
Recognizing the dual challenges of fending off cyberattacks and meeting the increasing demand for faster access to medical imaging, these authors offer proactive insights to address potential cybersecurity issues in radiology departments and practices.
