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:
When it comes to COVID-19 detection, time is critical. This week, Diagnostic Imaging speaks with the leadership of RADLogics about their current artificial intelligence (AI) system that is designed to streamline workflow. CEO Moshe Becker shares not only the benefits of the system for radiologists, but also the impact on patient care. In addition, he also addresses what makes this AI system different from others in light of a new study that calls the efficacy and accuracy of COVID-19-related machine learning into questions. Look for the interview later this week.

Recent research has shed a great deal of light on the role of the blood-brain barrier in brain aging diseases. This week, new investigative findings will be published about the impact of having a faulty blood brain barrier and how it might affect the brain. Look for details later this week.

While tuberculosis is rare in the United States, that isn’t necessarily the case around the world. And, individuals who have active infections pose a dangerous risk to those around them. In a study to-be-published later this week, investigators take a deeper look at how the use of chest X-ray or chest CT allow for more timely screenings and diagnosis. Look for the story later this week.

AI Mammography Platform Shows Promising Results for Detecting Subclinical Breast Cancer
October 3rd 2024Mean artificial intelligence (AI) scoring for breasts developing cancer was double that of contralateral breasts at initial biennial screening and was 16 times higher at the third biennial screening, according to a study involving over 116,000 women with no prior history of breast cancer.
CT Study Links Pleural Effusion and Higher 30-Day Mortality Rates in Patients with COVID-19
October 1st 2024In a multicenter study of over 1,100 patients with COVID-19, pleural effusion was detected on CT scans in nearly a third of patients, who also had significantly higher ICU admission and 30-day mortality rates.
Enhancing Lesions on Breast MRI: Can an Updated Kaiser Scoring Model Improve Detection?
September 26th 2024The addition of parameters such as patient age, MIP sign and associated imaging features to the Kaiser score demonstrated a 95.6 percent AUC for breast cancer detection of enhancing lesions on breast MRI in recently published research.
Can Intestinal Ultrasound Provide an Alternative for Evaluating Creeping Fat with Crohn’s Disease?
September 25th 2024Intestinal ultrasound demonstrated an 88.2 percent agreement with computed tomography enterography in characterizing creeping fat in patients with Crohn’s disease, according to new research.
