Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.
In this week’s preview, here are some highlights of what you can expect to see coming soon:
Much has been reported recently about the low utilization rate of low-dose CT lung cancer screening. In a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, investigators explored the factors behind low adherence to annual screening, as well as what might influence patients to follow the screening schedule. Look for a detailed story later this week.

Chest CT is routinely used to provide a great deal of information about the heart or to screen for lung cancer, but it can offer up valuable data about other conditions, as well. In an article on a study that will be released later this week, we will outline how the scan can be used to shed light on risks faced by patients with other lung-related conditions. Keep your eye out for the story.

Digital breast tomosynthesis is now widely used and is known for its better detection rate and efficacy in women with dense breast tissue. But, it turns out the scan offers additional benefits in detecting some of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer. Watch out for an article later this week that will discuss the details of a new study released this week.

What is the Best Use of AI in CT Lung Cancer Screening?
April 18th 2025In comparison to radiologist assessment, the use of AI to pre-screen patients with low-dose CT lung cancer screening provided a 12 percent reduction in mean interpretation time with a slight increase in specificity and a slight decrease in the recall rate, according to new research.
Meta-Analysis Shows Merits of AI with CTA Detection of Coronary Artery Stenosis and Calcified Plaque
April 16th 2025Artificial intelligence demonstrated higher AUC, sensitivity, and specificity than radiologists for detecting coronary artery stenosis > 50 percent on computed tomography angiography (CTA), according to a new 17-study meta-analysis.
