"We have so many CT and MR machines in the U.S. providing quick, easy, and efficient imaging that it's hard for ultrasound to compete, especially when it comes down to physicians' time.

"I don't think any radiologist would be happy to give a final diagnosis on metastatic disease in the liver using CT or MRI without a contrast agent. We do not have the advantage of using contrast agents with ultrasound in this country, since they have not been approved by the FDA.
"Having contrast agents readily available will help improve ultrasound's diagnostic capabilities in many ways, including bedside imaging of patients who cannot be transported. One of the AIUM's new initiatives is to work with the FDA to accelerate the approval process."

Considering Breast- and Lesion-Level Assessments with Mammography AI: What New Research Reveals
June 27th 2025While there was a decline of AUC for mammography AI software from breast-level assessments to lesion-level evaluation, the authors of a new study, involving 1,200 women, found that AI offered over a seven percent higher AUC for lesion-level interpretation in comparison to unassisted expert readers.
