Diagnostic Imaging's A Look Ahead: Nov. 2, 2020, to Nov. 8, 2020
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 on Diagnostic Imaging:
Ensuring that women have easy access to the breast imaging and breast cancer screening services they need to maintain their health is critical across the country. And, currently, levels of access, as well as breast imaging legislation, varies by state. This week, Diagnostic Imaging spoke with Dr. Amy Patel, Medical Director of Liberty Hospital Women's Imaging, about her efforts to enact laws that support women in their screening efforts and why this venture is so important.

COVID-19 has shown no discrimination in its ability to infect and severely impact patients. Men and women from all races and ethnicies, as well as all ages are clearly susceptible to the virus. The differing effects, however, have been felt in how imaging has resumed for various groups, particularly with cancer screenings. In the next edition of The Reading Room podcast, Diagnostic Imaging spoke with Dr. Shalom Kalnicki, chair of radiation oncology at Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, about the challenges racial and ethnic minorities face in accessing cancer screening services, as well as the impact COVID-19 has had on this existing problem.

Work continues into helping radiologists identify findings in the brain that are so small they can routinely be overlooked. This week, we will share the results of a study that outlines how radiologists can improve their ability to detect these problems. Look for this coverage as the week progresses.

Considering Breast- and Lesion-Level Assessments with Mammography AI: What New Research Reveals
June 27th 2025While there was a decline of AUC for mammography AI software from breast-level assessments to lesion-level evaluation, the authors of a new study, involving 1,200 women, found that AI offered over a seven percent higher AUC for lesion-level interpretation in comparison to unassisted expert readers.
Can CT-Based Deep Learning Bolster Prognostic Assessments of Ground-Glass Nodules?
June 19th 2025Emerging research shows that a multiple time-series deep learning model assessment of CT images provides 20 percent higher sensitivity than a delta radiomic model and 56 percent higher sensitivity than a clinical model for prognostic evaluation of ground-glass nodules.
Where Things Stand with the Radiologist Shortage
June 18th 2025A new report conveys the cumulative impact of ongoing challenges with radiologist residency positions, reimbursement, post-COVID-19 attrition rates and the aging of the population upon the persistent shortage of radiologists in the United States.
