New prospective research demonstrated that the combination of ultra-low-dose (ULD) computed tomography (CT) and an artificial intelligence (AI)-based denoising method offered a greater than 95 percent sensitivity rate for differentiating negative and actionable Lung-RADS category findings with significantly reduced radiation dosing.

A recent prospective study found that progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were significantly associated with breast cancer tumor treatment response on 2-(18F)FDG-PET/CT imaging in comparison to contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), which showed no evidence of a significant association with tumor response.

A retrospective review of insurance claim data from over one million people eligible for lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) found that less than five percent were screened.

In a study of over 1,000 patients who had surgery for invasive lung adenocarcinoma, researchers found that solid adenocarcinoma on pre-op CT imaging was associated with more than double the risks of recurrence and brain metastasis in patients with clinical stage I disease in comparison to ground-glass opacity (GGO) adenocarcinoma.

Recently published research revealed that coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) exams performed with dual-source CT were completed 22 minutes faster and had a nearly 28 percent higher frequency of good or excellent image quality in comparison to CCTA exams performed with single-source CT devices.

The new launches include the 80/160-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner Aquilion Serve, which allows simultaneous previews of axial, lateral and AP views, and Celex, a multipurpose X-ray system that offers automated and customizable features to help maximize workflow efficiencies.

New research from the American Cancer Society comparing pre-pandemic cancer screening prevalence to the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States showed a 1.1 million decrease in breast cancer screenings, a 4.4 million decrease in cervical cancer screening and a 600,000 decrease in prostate cancer screenings.
