For myocardial extracellular volume quantification, single-phase and dual-phase photon-counting CT provided over 20 percent higher correlation with cardiac MRI in contrast to dual-phase energy-integrating detector CT, according to new research findings.

In a recent interview, Zeeshan Shah, M.D., discussed the challenges of addressing rising breast imaging volume amid the radiologist shortage, the potential of emerging AI solutions for bolstering efficient triage and an increasing incidence of breast cancer presentations in younger patients.

Offering the capability to convert a non-contrast chest CT into quantitative ventilation perfusion mapping, use of the CT:VQ software allows for additional Category III CPT reimbursement beyond the chest CT.

While the AI software offered nearly equivalent negative predictive value (NPV) to radiologist interpretation of digital mammograms and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images, researchers noted that AI had significantly higher recall rates and false-positive results in patients with intermediate risk.

In a long-term follow-up analysis of the ELCAP CAC score for predicting cardiovascular mortality, over 30 percent of current or former smokers with high ELCAP CAC scoring on low-dose CT suffered cardiovascular disease death within a 25-year period.

The Revolution Vibe computed tomography system reportedly facilitates quality low-dose imaging for cardiac exams in patients with arrhythmias, heavily calcified coronaries and stents.

In a 10-study meta-analysis examining the use of whole-body MRI for asymptomatic individuals, researchers noted a pooled cancer detection rate of 1.57 percent.

How much of your sleep is sacrificed being in a ‘sleep-adjacent’ medical specialty?

From emerging research on disparities in breast cancer screening to the promising combination of contrast-enhanced mammography with DBT and a three-part podcast on abbreviated breast MRI, here is a look back at the most well-reviewed breast imaging content of the summer.

The AI-powered cardiovascular ultrasound device reportedly offers enhanced spatial and contrast resolution as well as bolstered 4D imaging that enables improved evaluation of cardiac function for a wide range of patients.

Featuring advanced detector technology, the Pharos PET scanner reportedly enhances detection of subtle anomalies across brain, breast and extremity imaging.

Amid the worsening imbalance of supply and demand in radiology and concerning scope of practice issues, one must keep in mind that course correction is often gradual in nature.

Catch up on the top radiology content of the past week.

The MyLab A50 and MyLab A70 ultrasound platforms reportedly enable a variety of detailed and multiparametric evaluations, including assessments for liver elastography and strain analysis echocardiography.
