Feds appraise the value of nuclear medicine research

The Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Triage and Notification (PETN) module with RapidAI’s RapidPE platform reportedly demonstrated over 90 percent sensitivity and specificity rates for detection of central PE on computed tomography (CT), according to multicenter study findings presented at the 9th Annual Pulmonary Embolism Symposium.

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

Over 80 percent of head and neck computed tomography angiography (CTA) exams performed in the emergency department had no actionable findings for patients with non-focal neurologic complaints, and 67 percent of the exams were ordered by non-physician practitioners (NPPs), according to a newly published study.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Shalom Kalnicki, from Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, discusses the disparities minority patients face with cancer screenings and what can be done to increase access during the pandemic.

Abnormal findings on coronary computed tomography angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (CCTA-FFR) are associated with 3.2-fold higher risks of all-cause death or spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with new-onset stable angina pectoris and coronary stenosis, according to newly published research.
