Diagnostic Imaging's Weekly Scan: Aug. 2, 2021, to Aug. 6, 2021

Photon-counting CT fat fraction evaluation offered a maximum sensitivity of 81 percent for detecting steatosis and had a 91 percent ICC agreement with MRI proton density fat fraction assessment, according to new prospective research.

Drs. Charles Liu and Jonathan Russin discuss the benefits and potential of fPACT, the alternative to functional MRI.

For immunocompromised individuals, denoised ultra-low-dose CT offers similar detail as normal-dose CT scans for pneumonia detection, according to a recent study.

KA Imaging President and Chief Executive Officer Amol Karnick and Chief Technology Officer Karim S. Karim, Ph.D., offer insights into current X-ray imaging trends, as well as opportunities for innovation.

In addition to a significant reduction of X-ray reading time, researchers found the use of multimodal generative AI assessment led to enhanced detection of pleural lesions and widened mediastinal silhouettes.

Through AI-powered assessment of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) scans, the CaRi-Plaque software may provide improved clarity on the development of coronary plaques and luminal stenosis.
