The dose length product (DLP) for the flash mode on a dual-source photon-counting CT system was less than a third of that for the spiral mode, according to a study of CTA findings for 1,000 patients presented at the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) conference.

In the first of a multi-part podcast episode, Stamatia Destounis, MD, Emily Conant, MD and Habib Rahbar, MD, share their insights on the role of abbreviated breast MRI in breast screening.

The dual FDA clearances for the Accuro 3S point-of-care ultrasound device and the SpineNav-AI machine learning-based software may enhance precision and safety with ultrasound-guided neuraxial procedures.

In a second part of a new podcast episode on recently published research on projected radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., offer current perspectives on cardiac CT dosing, AI advances and the importance of teamwork in ensuring appropriate dosing for CT.

In external validation findings from a 29-study meta-analysis, MRI-based AI had a pooled AUC of 85 percent for preoperative prediction for microvascular invasion in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

A fully convolutional data description (FCDD) model for identifying anomalies on breast MRI demonstrated an 84 percent AUC for detection tasks in a balanced cohort with a 20 percent malignancy prevalence and a 72 percent AUC for detection tasks in an imbalanced group with a 1.85 percent cancer prevalence.
