Toshiba taps new director for CT division

In a study involving over 1,000 women with breast cancer, researchers found that patients with screening-detected breast cancer had a five-year survival rate of 94.4 percent in comparison to 79.6 percent for women with clinically detected breast cancer.

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.

A new report conveys the cumulative impact of ongoing challenges with radiologist residency positions, reimbursement, post-COVID-19 attrition rates and the aging of the population upon the persistent shortage of radiologists in the United States.

In a new podcast, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., share their perspectives on recently published research looking at projections for future radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans.

For people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), new research suggests that a combination of amyloid-positive and tau-positive PET findings is linked to a nearly 70 percent risk of progressing to dementia in five years in comparison to an approximate 30 percent risk for those with amyloid β positive and tau-negative PET.

While the addition of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) led to over a 13 percent increase in false positive cases, researchers also noted over double the cancer yield per 1,000 women in comparison to DBT alone.
