An AI model that includes extracted radiomic features from CT scans more than doubled the sensitivity rate for preoperative prediction of lung cancer recurrence in comparison to traditional TNM staging, according to study findings to be presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.

In comparison to pure solid nodules in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), nodules with a minor ground glass opacity component were associated with over a 38 percent higher rate of recurrence-free survival.

In addition to detecting missed lung nodules on X-rays, the AI-powered Qure.ai lung cancer continuum platform reportedly automates lung nodule measurement on CT scans and facilitates multimodality reporting.

The second-generation version of the VUZE System reportedly offers expanded functionality and incorporation of varied sources of 3D imaging data, including cone-beam CT scans obtained in the OR.

One deep learning model had a 72.4 percent accuracy rate for differentiating between benign and malignant solid pulmonary nodules on non-contrast CT while another deep learning model demonstrated an 87.1 percent AUC for differentiating benign and inflammatory findings.

For patients with no history of coronary artery disease (CAD), new research shows the use of CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) guided revascularizations after elective vascular surgery reduced myocardial infarction and all-cause death by 20 percent in comparison to standard care.

Image quality, sharpness, and contrast with AI-based denoising were significantly enhanced for neck CT in comparison to conventional CT image reconstruction at 100 percent and 50 percent mAs, according to newly published research.

Reportedly trained on thousands of computed tomography scans, the e-Lung software utilizes machine learning to detect and assess the progression of features associated with interstitial lung diseases.

Combining clinical and CT features, adjunctive use of a classification and regression tree (CART) diagnostic model demonstrated AUCs for detecting clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) that were 15 to 22 percent higher than unassisted radiologist assessments.

An emerging deep learning algorithm had a lower AUC and sensitivity than urological radiologists for differentiating between small renal masses on computed tomography (CT) scans but had a 21 percent higher sensitivity rate than non-urological radiologists, according to new research.

While acknowledging variable accuracy overall with CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) values, researchers found that the accuracy rate increased to 90 percent for FFR-CT values greater > 0.90 and < 0.49.

Researchers found a 98.3 percent concordance between attending radiology reports and AI assessments for possible cervical spine fractures on CT, according to new research presented at the 2024 ARRS Annual Meeting.

Reportedly validated in more than 10 clinical trials, the AngioFlow perfusion imaging software enables timely identification of brain regions with cerebral blood flow reduction and those with significant hypoperfusion.
