Incidental adrenal masses almost always prove benign
Clinical experience with nearly 1000 patients suggests incidental adrenal tumors detected during abdominal CT scans are almost always benign.
Clinical experience with nearly 1000 patients suggests incidental adrenal tumors detected during abdominal CT scans are almost always benign.
Dr. Julie H. Song, a radiologist at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, and colleagues retrospectively reviewed data from 973 patients who had no history of malignancy or clinical suspicion of a hormonally active adrenal mass.
These patients had 1049 adrenal masses identified on CT. The investigators found, however, that none of these lesions was malignant. All masses were confirmed as benign either histopathologically or by imaging or clinical follow-up.
Seventy-five percent of lesions were adenomas. No malignant adrenal masses were found, even among the 14 patients who later developed malignancy elsewhere.
Results were published in the May issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
