Three decades after CT opened the door to digital imaging, soft-copy reading is finally taking hold. A survey by IMV Medical Information Division found that 40% of the radiology imaging sites surveyed by the firm use no film for primary diagnosis for at least some modalities. About 28% of the imaging procedures performed at the 3000 survey sites use no film for primary diagnosis-three times the percentage of procedures performed this way in 1998. Seven percent reported being completely filmless.
Mammography Study: AI Facilitates Greater Accuracy and Longer Fixation Time on Suspicious Areas
July 8th 2025While noting no differences in sensitivity, specificity or reading time with adjunctive AI for mammography screening, the authors of a new study noted a 4 percent higher AUC and increased fixation time on lesion regions.
