Deep Learning Model May Predict Lung Cancer Risk from a Single CT Scan
January 23rd 2023Trained and developed on over 35,000 low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans and validated in three independent data sets, a deep learning algorithm demonstrated an average area under the curve (AUC) of 90.6 percent for predicting lung cancer within one year.
ACR Offers Recommendations for Addressing 'Cost-Prohibitive' IDR Process in Radiology
January 20th 2023Noting the significant administrative fees for the Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process of the No Surprises Act and onerous restrictions that have led to a nearly “non-existent” use of batching of disputed claims in radiology, the American College of Radiology (ACR) has sent formal recommendations to the United States Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury for addressing these issues.
Nine Takeaways from New Article Examining Health Equity in the Radiology Field
January 17th 2023In a provocative new article, radiology researchers discuss the impact of social determinants of health (SDoH) upon access to care and patient outcomes, and present strategies within the realms of radiology education, research, clinical care, and innovation that may help mitigate health-care disparities.
Viz.ai Launches AI-Powered Vascular Imaging Software
January 16th 2023The artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled Viz™ Vascular Suite reportedly allows automated detection of vascular conditions, shown on computed tomography (CT) and other imaging modalities, and facilitates timely triage among interdisciplinary teams.
Can Dual-Energy CT Have an Impact in Differentiating Primary Lung Cancer and Pulmonary Metastases?
January 12th 2023In comparison to primary lung cancer, pulmonary metastases had a 33 percent higher frequency of ring-like peripheral high iodine concentration on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), according to a new retrospective study.
Nine Takeaways from Recent Meta-Analysis on Lung Cancer Screening with Low-Dose CT
January 9th 2023From incidental findings and screening for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to surveillance imaging protocols and the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), the authors of a new meta-analysis examine insights and emerging trends from the last two decades of research on the use of low-dose computed tomography (CT) in lung cancer screening.
Study Shows Merits of Photon-Counting CT in Detecting Subtle Post-COVID Lung Abnormalities
December 22nd 2022In a recently published prospective study comparing photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD CT) versus energy-integrating detector CT (EID CT) in patients with persistent symptoms after COVID-19 infection, researchers found that PCD CT discovered additional lung abnormalities in half of the study participants.
Study Says AI Can Enhance Chest CT Assessment of Bronchiectasis in Ever-Smokers
December 15th 2022Employing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to quantify airway-to-artery (AAR) diameter ratios on chest computed tomography (CT), researchers found the percentage of airways with an AAR greater than 1 was associated with increased pulmonary exacerbations in ever-smokers.
