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.

New Study Assesses Benefits of High-Resolution Photon-Counting for Computed Tomography Angiography
October 10th 2024Researchers found that ultra-high resolution photon-counting significantly enhanced visualization of small vessels and facilitated improved reduction of blooming artifacts for head and neck computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans.
Multicenter Study Identifies Key Factors Associated with Mammogram-Occult Ipsilateral Breast Cancer
October 9th 2024A symptomatic first breast cancer diagnosis, prevailing breast density at a second breast cancer diagnosis and trabecular thickening on surveillance mammography were linked to mammogram-occult ipsilateral breast cancer, according to new research.
Can Innovations with AI Help Address the Impact of Staffing Shortages on Radiology Workflow?
October 7th 2024While staffing shortages in radiology continue to persist after the COVID-19 pandemic, current and emerging innovations powered by artificial intelligence (AI) may help facilities navigate these challenges and mitigate rising costs of health care.
