Can AI Predict Future Lung Cancer Risk from a Single CT Scan?
In never-smokers, deep learning assessment of single baseline low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans demonstrated a 79 percent AUC for predicting lung cancer up to six years later, according to new research presented today at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2025 International Conference.
What if Radiology Turns Out Exactly the Way We Predict it Will?
May 19th 2025Whether it is reimbursement cuts or continued attempts to push non-radiologist image interpretation, where do we draw the line between inspired protest and misspent energy criticizing things that are doomed to fail or things we have no control over?
Large Study Affirms Safety of Ultrasound Enhancing Agents for Echocardiography
Those receiving ultrasound enhancing agents (UEAs) for transthoracic or stress echocardiography had lower odds of all-cause death in comparison to patients who did not have UEAs, according to a nationwide study involving 11.4 million patients.
What a New PSMA PET/CT Study Reveals About Local PCa Treatment and High-Risk Recurrence
For patients at high-risk for biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, PSMA PET/CT findings revealed that 77 percent had one or more prostate lesions after undergoing local radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy, according to a recent study.
Combining Advances in Computed Tomography Angiography with AI to Enhance Preventive Care
In a recent interview, C. Alberto Morales, M.D., discussed the impact of advances with CTA imaging and AI, and a shifting emphasis in cardiac risk stratification from stenosis to plaque burden.
Can Emerging AI Software Offer Detection of CAD on CCTA on Par with Radiologists?
In a study involving over 1,000 patients who had coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) exams, AI software demonstrated a 90 percent AUC for assessments of cases > CAD-RADS 3 and 4A and had a 98 percent NPV for obstructive coronary artery disease.
BrightHeart Garners Third FDA Clearance for AI-Powered Assessments of Fetal Heart Ultrasound
The latest FDA 510(k) clearance is for B-Right Views, an AI-enabled device, which provides automated detection of required views necessary for second- and third-trimester fetal heart ultrasound exams.
Study Questions Utility of Ultrafast Breast MRI for Challenging Lesions and Moderate/Marked BPE
New research findings suggest that image quality and lesion conspicuity are significantly lower with ultrafast breast MRI in comparison to standard dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI.
Mammography Study Compares False Positives Between AI and Radiologists in DBT Screening
For DBT breast cancer screening, 47 percent of radiologist-only flagged false positives involved mass presentations whereas 40 percent of AI-only flagged false positive cases involved benign calcifications, according to research presented at the recent American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) conference.
