For women with dense breasts, the combination of mammography and supplemental breast ultrasound had a 36.4 percent higher sensitivity rate for detecting breast cancer in comparison to the combination of mammography and adjunctive AI, according to a new study.

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

New 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.

KA Imaging President and Chief Executive Officer Amol Karnick and Chief Technology Officer Karim S. Karim, Ph.D., offer insights into current X-ray imaging trends, as well as opportunities for innovation.

While PET/MRI and PET/CT had comparable sensitivity for patient-level regional nodal metastases and lesion-level recurrence, the authors of a systematic review noted that PET/MRI had significantly higher accuracy in breast cancer and colorectal cancer staging.

Researchers found that mpMRI was 18 percent more accurate than dual-energy CT (DECT) for T1 staging and 19 percent more accurate for N3 staging of gastric cancer.
