Ultrasound BI-RADS might need some fine-tuning
Breast cancers missed by mammography could have been misclassified as benign lesions by ultrasound to begin with, according to a study presented at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine meeting in Orlando in June.
Breast cancers missed by mammography could have been misclassified as benign lesions by ultrasound to begin with, according to a study presented at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine meeting in Orlando in June.
Dr. Dona J. Hills and colleagues from the Queens-Long Island Medical Group in New York found that 41 cancers matched current BI-RADS 2 and 3 assignments, based on their original ultrasound descriptions. They also found that 23 of the 41 had benign or negative findings on mammography. Physicians should be suspicious about ultrasound-detected lesions with atypical features, which can cause false negatives in mammography as well, Hills said.
"If we exclude suspicious findings from the 'probably benign' category and put them into a BI-RADS 4, we might not be underestimating as many cancers as we had underestimated before," she said.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
