Contrast-enhanced mammography had a 98 percent sensitivity rate for diagnosing invasive lobular carcinoma and provided high conspicuity for 82 percent of detected lesions, according to research presented at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.

In one of the study periods from recently published research on rectal MRI acquisition, researchers found that 39.7 percent of rectal MRI exams adhered to guidelines from the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) and only 6.8 percent followed guidelines from the European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR).

In a recent interview, Mahsa Dolatshahi, M.D., M.P.H., and Cyrus A. Raji, M.D., Ph.D., discussed MRI and PET study findings, presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference, that showed an association between higher amyloid PET tracer uptake in the precuneus cortex and a higher visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio.

BrainSpec Core reportedly offers enhanced sensitivity for low-grade gliomas and may facilitate the diagnosis of conditions including Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy.

Dr. Kottler sat down with Diagnostic Imaging at RSNA 2023 to discuss AI imaging milestones and the potential impact of AI on workflows in radiology.

In a four-year study of over 1,600 patients who had outpatient head CTs, head CT angiography and/or brain MRI to assess cognitive impairment, researchers found that Black patients were over 9 percent less likely than White patients and over 16 percent less likely than Hispanic patients to receive brain MRI.

In findings from an enriched cohort of asymptomatic patients with screening-detected abnormalities, researchers found that contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) was superior to conventional mammography and offered equivalent detection of breast cancer in comparison to breast MRI and abbreviated breast MRI.

Providing automated brain volume calculations based on MRI images, NeuroShield’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technology may help facilitate treatment for neurodegenerative conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s disease to epilepsy.

For patients who had a complete metabolic response to radiation treatment for head and neck cancer, the authors of a recent study found that surveillance imaging with PET/CT, MRI or CT did not improve outcomes in comparison to expectant management.

Noting that initial imaging sensitivity is a key factor in cost-effectiveness for patients who do not require acute treatment for dizziness, researchers found that specialized MRI (including multiplanar high-resolution DWI) provided the most benefit in a comparative trial of neuroimaging modalities.

Emphasizing factors such as tumor size, serum neutrophil count and arterial phase hyperenhancement proportion on MRI, a new diagnostic model outperformed eight staging systems for predicting advanced recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver resection.
