Advances in AI — November 2024

In a study involving over 1,000 patients who had coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) exams, AI software demonstrated a 90 percent AUC for assessments of cases > CAD-RADS 3 and 4A and had a 98 percent NPV for cases > CAD-RADS 4A.

In a second part of a new podcast episode on recently published research on projected radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., offer current perspectives on cardiac CT dosing, AI advances and the importance of teamwork in ensuring appropriate dosing for CT.

Emerging research suggests that radiomic breast texture features extracted from full-field digital mammography may bolster prognostic assessments of invasive breast cancer risk beyond traditional risk factors.

In the third episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss the challenges of expanded breast cancer screening amid a backdrop of radiologist shortages and ever-increasing volume on radiology worklists.

Employing intelligent robotics and enhanced low-dose image quality, the uAngio AVIVA X-ray system also offers hands-free image review and movement.

The use of AI software for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) facilitated a higher cancer detection rate and over double the PPV for exams with abnormal interpretation, according to a newly published study.
