Diagnostic Imaging's Weekly Scan: July 24-July 30

In sequential breast cancer screening with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), true positive examinations had more than double the AI case score of true negative examinations and the highest positive AI score changes from previous exams, according to new research.

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.

The IQ-UIP AI software may bolster computed tomography diagnosis of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), which is reportedly misdiagnosed in over 50 percent of cases.

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

Survey results revealed that 71 percent of clinicians preferred adjunctive AI in facilitating triage of brain MRI scans and 58 percent were comfortable utilizing AI triage without input from radiologists.

Adjunctive AI offered greater than seven percent increases in sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for ultrasound detection of ovarian cancer in comparison to unassisted clinicians who lacked ultrasound expertise, according to findings from new international multicenter research.
