In the study of over 1,400 women with breast cancer, researchers noted that Black women with dense breasts or lobular histology were significantly less likely to have preoperative MRI exams than White women with the same clinical characteristics.

The AISmartDensity software facilitated a cancer detection rate (CDR) with breast MRI that was nearly four times higher than the CDR previously reported in trials involving traditional breast density assessment.

The combination of mammography with breast MRI within 90 days had a 96.2 percent sensitivity in comparison to 48.1 percent for mammography and 79.7 percent for breast MRI performed within 91 to 270 days after index mammography, according to newly published research.

Targeting improvements in workflow, patient consent protocols and adherence to scheduled exam times, researchers noted significant reductions in 15-minute and 30-minute delays with MRI exams for patients who required sedation or general anesthesia.

Employing a cut-off of Node-RADS > 2 for differentiating malignant lymph nodes with breast MRI in women with breast cancer, researchers noted average sensitivity and specificity rates of 91.5 percent and 87.4 percent respectively.

Additional carcinoma in the ipsilateral breast was detected on preoperative MRI exams in 24 out of 102 women prior to lumpectomy and mastectomy procedures, according to new study findings presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.

Developed by an extended prostate cancer working group of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR), the updated PI-QUAL scoring system emphasizes a simplified scale of image parameters that applies to prostate MRI scans with and without intravenous contrast use.

Emphasizing restriction spectrum imaging (RSI), the recently launched prostate MRI software OnQ Prostate may enhance PI-RADS assessments and workflow efficiency.

In a study of over 2,000 women with dense breasts and average breast cancer risk, abbreviated MRI (AB-MR) demonstrated an 18.9 per 1000 cancer detection rate (CDR) in baseline exams, and all cancers detected with baseline or subsequent AB/MR exams were stage 0 or 1.

New prospective research examining the utility of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT revealed comparable sensitivity to mpMRI for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer and a 17 percent higher specificity rate.

Incorporating dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, a deep learning model demonstrated a 20 percent higher AUC in external validation testing than clinical factors alone and over a 17 percent higher AUC than radiological factors alone in predicting proliferative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
