Carotid Ultrasound intro

Catch up on the top radiology content of the past week.

In the latest episode of her Breast Imaging in Focus series, Manisha Bahl, MD, MPH, FSBI, discussed new research demonstrating that cancer detection rate, sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) all improved with age.

Uptunity | Aneurysm reportedly identifies suspected saccular brain aneurysms larger than 3 mm on head CTA and provides quantitative comparison between exams to assess changes in known aneurysms over time.

Through enhanced insights into atherosclerotic disease, complex coronary lesions and coronary stents, photon-counting CT provides an anatomical roadmap that may improve outcomes for interventional procedures.

The PSMA PET radiopharmaceutical 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA, which previously garnered two FDA fast track designations, more than doubled the detection of PCa lesions in comparison to 68Ga-PSMA-11 in the phase II Co-PSMA trial.

The mobile X-Ray unit DR 100s Pro reportedly offers an array of attributes to facilitate workflow efficiencies and quality imaging.

In comparison to the RECIST 1.1 criteria, use of the mpMRI-based NacBI-RADS system for evaluating response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer offered an 8 percent higher sensitivity and over 26 percent higher specificity.

A high glandular tissue component on pre-op breast ultrasound may significantly elevate the risk of recurrence for ipsilateral or contralateral breast cancer, according to a newly published study.
