NCI mulls genetic risk of prostate, breast cancer

In external testing, a model combining radiological complete response on breast MRI, nodal status and Ki-67 proliferation index yielded an 88 percent AUC for predicting pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for patients with triple-negative breast cancer, 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 deep learning reconstruction software reportedly facilitates accelerated MRI scanning and significantly enhanced image sharpness.

In the second episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss recent studies published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that suggested moving to more of a risk-adapted model for mammography screening.

The acoustic coupling fluid and sterile transfer kit reportedly removes acoustic artifacts that can occur with the use of standard irrigation fluids in ultrasound-guided neurosurgical interventions.

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.
