Researchers have identified patterns to injuries suffered by children in all-terrain vehicles that might help radiologists better diagnose the children's trauma.
Researchers have identified patterns to injuries suffered by children in all-terrain vehicles that might help radiologists better diagnose the children's trauma.
Dr. Chetan C. Shah, a radiology fellow, and colleagues reviewed the records of 500 consecutive children (six months to 19 years old) admitted to Children's Hospital in Little Rock following ATV accidents. Shah presented the study at the 2007 RSNA meeting.
Researchers found that cranial and orbital fractures were associated with brain injuries and extra-axial hemorrhage. Torso injuries frequently involved multiple organs. Extremity fractures were the most common radiographically detected injuries, and lower extremity fractures were associated with long-term disability. There were 12 amputations, including nine partial foot, one upper limb, and one below-knee.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
