Diagnostic Imaging's Weekly Scan: January 1-January 7

For people with dilated cardiomyopathy and those with initially normal cardiac MRI, each 1 ug/m3 increase in one-year exposure to ambient fine particulate matter with 2.5-um > aerodynamic diameter was associated with significantly more diffuse myocardial fibrosis, according to a recent study.

In a second part of a new podcast episode on recently published research on projected radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., offer current perspectives on cardiac CT dosing, AI advances and the importance of teamwork in ensuring appropriate dosing for CT.

While 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.

In a new podcast, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., share their perspectives on recently published research looking at projections for future radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans.

Artificial intelligence (AI) software had a 14 percent false negative rate in a new study involving over 1,082 women with invasive breast cancer.

The additional indication for the preparation kit of gallium Ga-68 gozetotide may facilitate earlier use of PSMA-targeted treatment for men with prostate cancer.
