The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered module provides a prostate segmentation tool for MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) procedures in patients with prostate cancer.

While radiologists and other providers may be discouraged by insurer denials saying the use of a technological advance is “unproven and investigational,” 82 percent of appeals for prior authorization denials were approved in 2021.

In a recent lecture at the 2024 ARRS Annual Meeting, Jordana Phillips, MD, discussed the role of contrast-enhanced mammography in staging breast cancer, evaluating response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and recalls from screening.

An emerging deep learning radiomics model, based on B-mode ultrasound and color Doppler flow imaging, demonstrated a 91 percent AUC for predicting lymphovascular invasion in a multicenter study of women with invasive breast cancer.

One of the recommendations from the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) is annual breast MRI exams starting at 25 years of age for women deemed to be at high risk for breast cancer.

The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered applications reportedly allow clinicians to diagnose pulmonary edema and measure left ventricle ejection fraction within seconds.

One of the features on the new Voluson Signature 20 and 18 ultrasound devices reportedly uses automated AI tools to facilitate a 40 percent reduction in the time it takes to perform second trimester exams.

In a comparison of image-to-text large language models (LLMs), ChatGPT 4.0 offered a 95 percent sensitivity rate and an 83 percent AUC that were comparable to that of two senior radiologists and one junior radiologist interacting with LLM to differentiate between malignant and benign thyroid nodules on ultrasound.

While adjunctive use of AI led to significantly higher specificity and accuracy rates in detecting cancer on breast ultrasound exams in comparison to unassisted reading by breast radiologists, researchers noted that 12 of 13 BI-RADS 3 lesions upgraded by AI were ultimately benign, according to research presented at the European Congress of Radiology.

Designed for full-body imaging, the new modality reportedly offers a lightweight portable design, AI-powered tools and enhanced high-resolution images.
