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:
Racial disparities are a known problem in healthcare, including radiology. These inequities can also lead to diagnostic delays. An article published later this week will take a look at how these racial disparities and diagnostic delays affect women with breast cancer.

Can AI Enhance CT Detection of Incidental Extrapulmonary Abnormalities and Prediction of Mortality?
September 18th 2024Emphasizing multi-structure segmentation and feature extraction from chest CT scans, an emerging AI model demonstrated an approximately 70 percent AUC for predicting significant incidental extrapulmonary findings as well as two-year and 10-year all-cause mortality.
Comparing Digital Breast Tomosynthesis to Digital Mammography: What a Long-Term Study Reveals
September 17th 2024In a study involving over 272,000 breast cancer screening exams, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) had a higher breast cancer detection rate and a lower rate of advanced cancer presentation at the time of diagnosis in comparison to digital mammography.
Can Radiomics Enhance Differentiation of Intracranial Aneurysms on Computed Tomography Angiography?
September 17th 2024Radiomics models offered a pooled AUC of 86 percent for differentiating between ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms, according to a recently published meta-analysis.
