Contrast makers cut patent deal

The HCPCS level II code A9616 goes into effect on October 1 for the PSMA PET preparation kit, which received FDA approval in March.

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.

While noting no differences in sensitivity, specificity or reading time with adjunctive AI for mammography screening, the authors of a new study noted a 4 percent higher AUC and increased fixation time on lesion regions.

In a new podcast, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., share their perspectives on recently published research looking at projections for future radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans.

While there is a variety of factors that may factor into one’s ideal radiology job, demand is often a key consideration.

In external testing, a model combining radiological complete response on breast MRI, nodal status and Ki-67 proliferation index yielded an 88 percent AUC for predicting pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for patients with triple-negative breast cancer, according to new research.
