Radioisotope production heats up

The Gentuity HF-OCT Imaging System, which includes the 1.8 F Vis-Rx Micro-Imaging Catheter, is reportedly the first intravascular imaging system to garner a specific indication for pre- and post-intervention assessments of coronary vessels.

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.

Earlier detection of PSMA-avid lesions in post-radiotherapy patients with increases in PSA levels < 2 ng/ml above nadir were reportedly associated with a significantly lower incidence of distant metastases and lower overall mortality rates.

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.

For segment-level coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, a deep learning model had an accuracy rate of 73 percent for assigning calcifications to coronary artery segments and achieved a micro-average specificity of 97.8 percent.

There can be a thin line between providing extra effort in a team setting and overextending oneself to compensate for the shortcomings of others.
