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:
Breast Cancer Awareness month will soon be coming to a close, but that does not mean radiology practices and breast imaging centers should relax the attention they pay to patients who come in for breast cancer screening. This week, Diagnostic Imaging spoke with breast imaging technologist Stephanie Johnston from Solis Mammography in Texas about what is most important to women when they come in for annual screening, as well as what practices can do to ensure women have the best counters possible.

Stroke remains the leading cause of disability in the United States, as well as a leading cause of death. Given their skill set, radiologists are uniquely positioned for stroke prevention. In a column this week, Diagnostic Imaging Editorial Board member Mina Makary, M.D., an interventional radiologist from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, shared insights on alternative training models for interventional neuroradiology.

Study: AI-Generated ADC Maps from MRI More Than Double Specificity in Prostate Cancer Detection
June 5th 2025Emerging research showed that AI-generated ADC mapping from MRI led to significant increases in accuracy, PPV and specificity in comparison to conventional ADC mapping while achieving a 93 percent sensitivity for PCa.
Possible Real-Time Adaptive Approach to Breast MRI Suggests ‘New Era’ of AI-Directed MRI
June 3rd 2025Assessing the simulated use of AI-generated suspicion scores for determining whether one should continue with full MRI or shift to an abbreviated MRI, the authors of a new study noted comparable sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value for biopsies between the MRI approaches.
Can Abbreviated MRI Have an Impact in Differentiating Intraductal Papilloma and Ductal Secretion?
June 3rd 2025For patients with inconclusive ultrasound results, abbreviated breast MRI offers comparable detection of intraductal papilloma as a full breast MRI protocol at significantly reduced times for scan acquisition and interpretation, according to a new study.
