CT attenuation also affected by BMI and blood cortisol levels.

Imaging method reduced non-confident reads, decreased time.

Automated robotic arm–assisted FDG PET/CT-guided real-time bone biopsy is feasible and safe.

Greater efforts needed to harmonize reporting practices.

Use of a photon-counting-detector CT for renal stones is similar to using dual-energy CT.

Patients with an initial clinical severity class of 1 also had a higher likelihood of missed injury.

Axial chest CT identifies enlargement with high specificity and reasonable sensitivity.

Imaging confirms or excludes the presence of gangrenous appendicitis with high sensitivity and specificity.

The contrast-enhanced CT also improves lesion conspicuity over standard care of monophasic portovenous CT.

Moving to a fully automated protocol would allow for more widespread implementation of the assessment.

D-dimer tests and prediction rules should be incorporated into a decision support tool to curb overordering of CTPA for suspected pulmonary embolism.

Clinical and imaging biomarkers were associated with intracranial thrombus recanalization among patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Etiology of liver disease and CT technique did not affect staging accuracy.

FDG PET-CT imaging could be of additional value when disease recurrence is suspected despite negative or equivocal CT findings.

Findings are due to higher spatial resolution and comparable equivalent doses.

The retroperitoneal space planes count was not useful for the diagnosis of complicated appendicitis.
