New radiopharmaceutical enters testing

Researchers found that a deep convolutional neural network, incorporating B-mode ultrasound and shear wave elastography data, had nearly an 88 percent sensitivity rate for predicting neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in patients with breast cancer.

Richard Duszak, MD, and Mina Makary, MD, discuss a number of issues, ranging from demographic trends and NPRPs to physician burnout and medical student recruitment, that figure to impact the radiology workforce now and in the near future.

For the detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a sensitivity rate of 81 percent and a specificity rate of 86 percent, according to a meta-analysis of 64 studies and data from 74,470 patients with stable chest pain.

An interview with two experts to discuss newly released guidance for using standardized MRI protocols for patients with this condition.

The use of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) was associated with more than double the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with diabetes and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 in comparison to the use of non-contrast CT in this population.
