68Ga-pentixafor can clearly distinguish between healthy and malignant tissue on both CT and MRI scans.

American College of Radiology/Alzheimer’s Association study is now recruiting African American and Latino patients to determine whether amyloid PET scans can help with more accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions.

A desire to shape and help healthcare organizations direct their imaging informatics strategy is what drives award-winner Cheryl Petersilge, M.D., founder and chief executive officer of consulting firm Vidagos.

A combination of acoustic imaging methods and algorithms offers a better method to explore the brain’s gray and white matter.

Best practices to get you started.

Providers can use scans to score a patient’s lung health, potentially identifying which patients will fare worse from the virus, requiring more extensive treatment.

With a newly developed segmenting method, it is possible to configure large amounts of data from various imaging datasets automatically and with little expertise.

Younger and African American patients face significantly increased odds of having their symptoms associated with radiation therapy under-treated by providers.

Low-dose CT screening for lung cancer does present risks of false-positives and over-diagnosis, but for heavy or ex-smokers, it is worth it.

Examine a patient’s face mask prior to scanning as nose clips, headband staples, or other components can contain metal, potentially leading to facial burns during MRI scans.

Machine learning can pinpoint specific activity patterns in the brain that could lead to more targeted therapies.

Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.

Giving a reason for your requests can lead to greater compliance and better outcomes, especially in the workplace.

The 16-channel head adaptive image receive radiofrequency coil opens the door for greater comfort and future coil design improvements.

DECT and electron density offers more accurate differentiation between metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes when compared to FDG PET/CT.

The improved cancer detection rate that catches more cancers with favorable prognoses and the lower false negative rates, improves patient outcomes and puts DBT on track to replace 2D mammography as the gold standard for screening.

Nina Kottler, M.D., chief medical officer of AI at Radiology Partners, discusses, during RSNA 2020, what new developments the annual meeting provided about these technologies, sessions to access, and what to expect in the coming year.

Differences in cortical thickness development correlates to cognitive differences and could be involved in increased risk for mental illness.

Jorge Soto, M.D., and Maureen Kohi, M.D., discuss how unconscious bias presents in radiology and the tools that providers can use to recognize and minimize the biases when they appear.

Rich Heller, M.D., with Radiology Partners, and Lucy Spalluto, M.D., with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, discuss the highlights of their RSNA 2020 session on health disparities, focusing on the underlying factors and challenges radiologists face to providing greater access to care.

Novel deep learning model can provide needed information from multi-modal imaging even when some modalities are absent.

7T MRI and MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound present new clinical opportunities in the pipeline.

Whether a patient has a pulmonary embolism, a higher-than-normal D-dimer value can help identify patients for whom CTPA is most appropriate, alleviating some workload from emergency radiology.
