A review of nearly 12,000 emergency imaging exams has confirmed that academic hospitals can count on their radiology residents for reliable readings of late night scans.
A review of nearly 12,000 emergency imaging exams has confirmed that academic hospitals can count on their radiology residents for reliable readings of late night scans.
Radiology chief Dr. Richard B. Ruchman and colleagues at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, NJ, found discrepancies between only 2.6% of the emergency room studies initially read by residents on night call and final interpretations from an attending radiologist the next morning. Monmouth residents' performance also compared well with that of radiologists in peer-to-peer reviews through the American College of Radiology's RADPEER program (AJR 2007;189:523-526).
Can Radiomics and Autoencoders Enhance Real-Time Ultrasound Detection of Breast Cancer?
September 10th 2024Developed with breast ultrasound data from nearly 1,200 women, a model with mixed radiomic and autoencoder features had a 90 percent AUC for diagnosing breast cancer, according to new research.
Researchers Show Higher Breast Cancer Upstaging Rate with 18F-FAPI PET/CT
September 9th 2024The imaging agent 18F-FAPI PET/CT demonstrated greater than a 45 percent higher sensitivity rate in comparison to 18F-FDG PET/CT for the detection of axillary and extraaxillary regional lymph node metastases, according to a lesion-based analysis from a recent study.
Study Assesses Lung CT-Based AI Models for Predicting Interstitial Lung Abnormality
September 6th 2024A machine-learning-based model demonstrated an 87 percent area under the curve and a 90 percent specificity rate for predicting interstitial lung abnormality on CT scans, according to new research.
