Breast MRI CAD zeroes in on malignant lesions
Results from two recent studies suggest computer-aided detection for breast MRI may be closing in on true cancer detection.
Results from two recent studies suggest computer-aided detection for breast MRI may be closing in on true cancer detection.
Researchers from Penn Diagnostics, a breast MRI CAD company, and George Washington University tested the ONCAD system for contrast-enhanced MRI. They reviewed images of 102 biopsy-proven breast cancers and 131 cancer-free breasts from six major U.S. research institutions. The investigators found ONCAD could identify up to 96% of true malignancies.
In another study, researchers from New York University and Siemens Medical Solutions presented results of a computer classification system designed to improve breast MRI BI-RADS classification. Forty patients were included in this study. The investigators found the automated classification tool yielded more accurate BI-RADS classifications than three radiologists blinded to results. Both studies were released at the 2008 ARRS meeting.
European Society of Breast Imaging Issues Updated Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations
April 24th 2024One 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.
Study Reveals Benefits of Photon-Counting CT for Assessing Acute Pulmonary Embolism
April 23rd 2024In comparison to energy-integrating detector CT for the workup of suspected acute pulmonary embolism, the use of photon-counting detector CT reduced radiation dosing by 48 percent, according to newly published research.
