CT

The artificial intelligence (AI) software facilitates high-resolution three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) images of the breast.

There are cases that warrant verbal communication with referring clinicians, but making that communication happen can, at times, be a challenging responsibility.

The InterView Fusion and InterView XP reportedly improve image quality for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and offer imaging tools specifically geared to common nuclear medicine studies ranging from bone imaging to cardiac assessment and lung imaging.

In a study cohort of patients undergoing pre-operative workup for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), researchers found the use of photon-counting CT for ultra-high resolution coronary CT angiography had a 96 percent sensitivity rate and an 84 percent specificity rate for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD).

In a recent video interview from the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) conference, Ali Tejani, M.D., discussed pertinent insights on leveraging the value of adjunctive artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled triage software for computed tomography (CT) scans with radiology workflow improvements to achieve “clinically meaningful change” for patients with incidental pulmonary emboli findings.

When reviewing radiographs, computed tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, do you still turn to mnemonics every now and then to jog your short-term memory?

The use of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) was associated with more than double the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with diabetes and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 in comparison to the use of non-contrast CT in this population.

Whether it’s attempting to get appropriate clinical histories from referring physicians or getting a tech to split up a multiphasic contrast study into separate image series, consistently striving to fight the good fight for optimal image interpretation is worth the effort.

In a review of patient data from 42 countries, researchers found that standardized typical findings on computed tomography (CT) for COVID-19 had a pooled sensitivity rate of 70 percent and a pooled specificity rate of 90 percent.

Precision DL, a deep learning-based software which will be available on GE HealthCare’s Omni Legend PET/CT device, reportedly increases the detectability of small, low-contrast lesions by 42 percent.

Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) significantly increased the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in comparison to dual-source CT (DSCT) at similar radiation dosing, according to a new study of over 100 children with suspected congenital heart defects.

In what may be the first comparative study of the polygenic risk score and the computed tomography (CT)-derived coronary artery calcium (CAC) score for assessing coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, researchers found that the CAC score was associated with significant improvements in assessing and stratifying risk for the development of CHD in middle-aged to older adults.

In a subgroup analysis of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage who had intraventicular hemorrhage (IVH) growth, researchers found that hypodensities on non-contrast computed tomography (CT) were associated with more than double the risk for greater than 1 mL of expanded IVH (eIVH).

Whether it’s the proverbial “bad penny” case that crashes PACS or the perception that positive computed tomography angiography (CTA) exams for pulmonary arterial clots come in sets of three, suspicions can emerge here and there in radiology.

Unvaccinated people with COVID-19 who undergo angiographic reperfusion after acute ischemic stroke may have a greater than fivefold risk of continued infarct growth in comparison to unvaccinated people without COVID-19, according to computed tomography perfusion (CTP) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings from a recently published study.

The artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled CT 3500 system reportedly reduces patient positioning time by 23 percent, improves low-contrast detectability by 60 percent and facilitates up to an 80 percent reduction in radiation dosing.
