Diagnostic Imaging's A Look Ahead: March 22, 2021, to March 26, 2021
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-Initiated Recalls After Screening Mammography Demonstrate Higher PPV for Breast Cancer
March 18th 2025While recalls initiated by one of two reviewing radiologists after screening mammography were nearly 10 percent higher than recalls initiated by an AI software, the AI-initiated recalls had an 85 percent higher positive predictive value for breast cancer, according to a new study.
Study: Monitoring of Prostate MRI Exams Could Lead to 75 Percent Reduction of Gadolinium Contrast
March 17th 2025While DCE MRI was deemed helpful in over 67 percent of cases in which it was used, researchers found that monitored prostate MRI exams, which facilitated a 75 percent reduction of DCE MRI sequences, had comparable sensitivity for prostate cancer as non-monitored exams.
New MRI Research Explores Links Between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Memory in Aging
March 13th 2025Researchers found that a higher waist-to-hip ratio in midlife was associated with higher mean diffusivity in 26 percent of total white matter tracts in the cingulum as well as the superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus.
