Diagnostic Imaging's Weekly Scan: February 9 — February 15

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

In the third episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss the challenges of expanded breast cancer screening amid a backdrop of radiologist shortages and ever-increasing volume on radiology worklists.

Emphasizing intuitive workflow and portability, the Universal Wireless Probe reportedly offers a cost-effective combination of phased and linear ultrasound imaging.

Richard Duszak, MD, and Mina Makary, MD, discuss a number of issues, ranging from demographic trends and NPRPs to physician burnout and medical student recruitment, that figure to impact the radiology workforce now and in the near future.

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.

Multicenter research revealed that a combined model of clinical factors and ultrasound-based radiomics exhibited greater than a 23 percent higher per patient-level accuracy rate for identifying HER2 breast cancer than a clinical model.
