Adjunctive AI Software for Brain MRI Gets FDA Clearance for Assessing High-Grade Gliomas
Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology, Neosoma HGG reportedly demonstrated a 95.5 percent accuracy rate in measuring brain tumor volume on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at various points during the treatment of patients with high-grade gliomas.
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and Breast Density: What a New Study Reveals
In a large study of nearly 100,000 women, researchers found that the combination of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and synthesized mammography had more than triple the detection rate for invasive breast cancer in extremely dense breasts in comparison to digital mammography alone.
Study Looks at Potential Impact of Expanded Eligibility for Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening
Modifications to pack-year history and smoking quit duration thresholds beyond those recommended in the 2021 United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) criteria for low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening may more than double the number of increased lung cancer cases physicians would see with application of the 2021 USPSTF screening criteria.
Study Finds No Benefit to MRI Screening in Women with High-Risk Breast Lesions
In a study involving nearly 700 patients with atypical ductal or lobular hyperplasia, or lobular carcinoma in situ, researchers found no difference in four-year breast cancer detection rates between women who had screening mammography and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and women who only had mammography screening.
Philips Gets FDA Clearance for Ultrasound 5000 Compact Series
Offering the benefits of real-time collaboration and integrated connectivity, the portable ultrasound device may be utilized in a variety of clinical settings ranging from cardiology to obstetrics and gynecology.
Flash Versus Function: Does the AI Focus in Radiology Compromise Our Infrastructure Needs?
October 3rd 2022Addressing upgrades of traditional infrastructure used in everyday radiology practice may be a more practical use of resources than investment in artificial intelligence (AI) technology that is still evolving.
Prospective MRI Study Reveals Impact of Opioid Exposure on the Fetal Brain
Researchers found that in utero opioid exposure resulted in seven out of 14 2D biometric measurements of the fetal brain being smaller on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in comparison to fetuses without opioid exposure.
MRI Deep Learning Software from GE Healthcare Gets Expanded FDA Clearance
AIR Recon DL, a deep learning-based image reconstruction software, will now be available with 3D sequences as well as PROPELLER motion-insensitive sequences on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners from GE Healthcare.
A Closer Look at Ultrasound and MRI Alternatives for Head and Neck Imaging
In light of recent shortages of iodinated contrast media, researchers from Australia suggest in a new publication that ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be viable first-line imaging options for a number of non-urgent presentations of the head and neck.
What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals About Breast Density, Mammography and MRI Screening
Assessing data from 386,590 women, researchers noted that women with extremely dense breast tissue have more than double the risk for breast cancer in comparison to women with average breast density and nearly four times the risk of women with extremely fatty breast tissue.
FDA to Review Blue Earth Diagnostics' Emerging PSMA/PET Agent for Prostate Cancer
One prospective multicenter study found the radiohybrid prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) agent 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 had an 83 percent detection rate in nearly 400 men with suspected prostate cancer.
Exploring the Merits of a Teleradiology Fellowship, Part 2
September 26th 2022A teleradiology fellowship that offers an information technology (IT) component and dedicated time with teleradiology attendings to learn tricks of the trade with workstation navigation could go a long way toward reducing downtime and maximizing efficiency.
